Falana to IGP: Probe Habila, Tanimola deaths

Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Femi Falana has formally requested the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to assume control of the investigations into the controversial deaths of Mary Habila and Babatunde Dolapo Tanimola. Falana, a prominent human rights lawyer, stressed that these cases must not be overlooked or "swept under the rug."

In a statement, Falana emphasized the need for a thorough and impartial probe into the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Habila and Tanimola. He expressed concern that the investigations might not be proceeding with the necessary diligence or transparency, prompting his direct appeal to the nation's top police official.

The lawyer's intervention highlights a demand for accountability and justice for the deceased and their families. The call for the IGP's direct involvement signals the gravity with which Falana views these cases and underscores the public's expectation for a definitive resolution.
