The court’s ruling, delivered by Justice Inyang Edem Ekwo on Friday, emphasized the AGF’s obligation to pursue legal action against the perpetrators of the heinous act. Dele Giwa was tragically killed on October 19, 1986, in his Lagos office by means of a letter bomb.
In addition to the case of Dele Giwa, the court directed the AGF to investigate the killings of other journalists who lost their lives while carrying out their lawful duties. The court stressed the importance of bringing the culprits to justice in accordance with the provisions of the law.
The Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda (MRA) had taken the AGF to court, seeking the enforcement of fundamental rights for the safety of media practitioners, as guaranteed by the 1999 Constitution and African Charters on Human Rights.
Justice Ekwo’s judgment also ordered the Federal Government to ensure the adequate protection and safety of journalists’ lives, as outlined in sections 33 and 39 of the Constitution, as well as Articles 4 and 9 of the African Charters on Human and Peoples Rights.
