Any shooting arising from legitimate protests diminishes our fledgeling democratic dispensation and calls to question our commitment to fundamental human rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving heard from all parties to the incident, it is pertinent that I now personally convey my deeply felt sorrow for the loss of two promising young lives and for those who suffered injuries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be sure, our government prides itself on its strict adherence to the rule of law. The right of citizens to protest on any issue relating to governmental actions or inactions is a fundamental component of our good governance agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe could not therefore under any circumstances have directed that deadly force be used on any of our citizens freely expressing their right to protest.<\/p>\n<p>Read Also:\u00a0FUOYE Killings: Police Warn NANS Against Mass Protest<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven before the conclusion of the investigations into this matter, we have taken a number of steps; a high-level government delegation has visited the families of the deceased.
