National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) is investigating alleged violation of the right of Ms Lois Iorvihi by the convoy of Governor Umaru Al-Makura of Nasarawa State along Lafia- Akwanga Road.

The alleged violation allegedly took place about two weeks ago.

The Executive Secretary of the NHRC, Prof. Bem Angwe, led a team of investigators to Nasarawa Government House, Lafia, following a petition received by the commission from the alleged victim.

Vanguard Report: “Earlier, the Nasarawa State office of the Com­ mission had received a complaint on the matter and a team of investiga­tors have since interrogat­ed the complainant and her sister who was driv­ing along with her when the incident occurred. The Commission is pres­ently expecting response from the alleged violator and the Nasarawa State Governor’s team any mo­ment from now,” a source said.

Angwe, who admitted that the allegation had generated a lot of publicity, especially in the social media, assured Nigerians and the parties involved that the commission would not be influenced by the sentiments in carry out a thorough investigation to a conclusive end.
