Delta Motorcyclists Demand Justice for Slain Colleague

Commercial motorcycle operators in Delta State are demanding justice for their colleague, Chinaza Sunday, who was killed during a political rally, according to Punch Newspapers. The protest took place in Asaba, the state capital, with motorcyclists calling for the perpetrators to be brought to book.

Mr. Sunday was reportedly killed on November 9 during a rally organised by a political party in the state. The incident has sparked outrage among the motorcyclists, who are an integral part of the state’s transportation system.

The protest, which was peaceful, saw the motorcyclists barricading major roads in Asaba and displaying placards with various inscriptions demanding justice for their fallen colleague. The state police command, however, has not made any official statement regarding the incident or the protest.

The tragic death of Mr. Sunday highlights the often precarious nature of work for commercial motorcycle operators in Nigeria, particularly during periods of political unrest.
