In the wake of the Uromi killings, where sixteen hunters were brutally murdered by vigilante members and armed youths, families of the victims and the lone survivor express their disappointment as the Edo State Government fails to deliver on its promise of compensation. The attack occurred on March 28, 2025, along a major expressway when the victims were traveling for Sallah celebrations. Accused of being kidnappers, they were dragged from their truck and set ablaze, a heinous act that shocked the nation. The Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, had visited the bereaved families, pledging financial support for the victims' families during a condolence visit to Torankawa, where the slain hunters were from. However, nearly a year later, the promised compensation has yet to be realized, leaving the families in distress. The delay raises concerns about the government's commitment to justice and support for victims of violence in the region. This incident not only highlights the tragic loss of lives but also reflects deeper issues of security and vigilantism in Nigeria, as communities grapple with violence often fueled by misconceptions and lack of accountability. The failure to address such incidents through timely compensation and justice could further diminish trust in government institutions and endanger efforts towards peace and reconciliation in affected areas.
