Q: What is the address?

Federal Ministry Of Youth Development

30/04/2026

The tragic death of Mena is a painful reminder of why advocacy for justice, accountability, and strong institutions remains critical in our society.

From an SDG perspective, this speaks directly to SDG 16—Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. No individual, regardless of the circumstances, deserves to be denied due process or subjected to extrajudicial actions. Justice must not only be done, but be seen to be done through transparent and lawful processes.

As young advocates with Youth Nigeria, we must continue to raise our voices for a system where human rights are protected, law enforcement is accountable, and every life is treated with dignity. Sustainable development cannot thrive in an environment where justice is compromised and l understand these officers have been moved to force headquarters and dismissal is been recommended but that won't be enough if the officers are not charged for murder case and then we can begin to rebuild trust in our institutions and ensure such incidents do not repeat itself.
