<h2>Human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, has termed the decision of the Defence Headquarters (<a href="https://naijanews.com/topic/dhq/">DHQ</a>)to declare 8 persons wanted over the gruesome murder of 17 soldiers in Okuama Delta State as illegal.</h2>
<p>Faulting the move in a post via his official X account on Thursday, Effiong suggested that the manhunt for those responsible for the killing of the 17 military personnel should be handled by the police.</p>
<p><strong>Naija News</strong> reports that he argued that it was illegal to declare anyone wanted without a court order, adding that if the Armed Forces suspected them of their involvement in the murder of the soldiers, they should have passed the information to the police for investigation.</p>
<p>He wrote, <em>"This should be handled by the police, not the military. We keep bastardizing our institutions.</em></p>
<p><em>"These individuals are not members of the Armed Forces and therefore not subject to Service Law.</em></p>
<p><em>"It is illegal to declare anyone wanted without a court order.</em></p>
<p><em>"If the Armed Forces is suspecting them of murder or other offences, they should have passed the information to the police.</em></p>
<p><em>"This gestapo behavior has to end."</em></p>
