A Nigerian human rights activist and anti-d£ath penalty advocate Arthur Judah Angel, has been reportedly assa.ssinated.
According to GLONAT, Arthur was k!lled in his country home in Edo state.
He was the President and founder of Life Wire International Foundation, who wrote: “I refused to die, a true life story of Divine Intervention on d£ath row”.
Mr. Angel, who spent nine years on d£ath row for a cr!me he did not commit in 1986, was trag!cally killed and bur!ed in a shallow grave on Sunday.
His assa!lants also burned down his house after the assa.ssination.
After being pardoned and released from pr!son, Angel dedicated himself to advocating against the d£ath penalty in Nigeria.
He used his art exhibitions and drawings to speak out against capital pun!shment, travelling to over 15 countries for this cause.
The incident occurred in Ugboha, Esan South East, Edo State.
Arthur’s cousin, Michael Ihaza, confirmed the assa.ssination.
He mentioned ongoing legal disputes over family land, where Angel played a key role.
