“In the instant case, the circumstantial evidence going by the attached photograph of the scene of the inhuman torture of the victim by Ifeanyi Okpoko as visibly shown on the background carrying out the wicked act is cogent and compelling as to lead irresistibly to the conclusion that Ifeanyi Okpoko abducted and tortured his victim to death.

Available facts reveal that Human beings are inviolable . Every human being shall be entitled to respect for his life and integrity of his person. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his right to live.

Therefore, our questions over this issues are:

Whether every person has a right to life, and no one shall be deprived intentionally of his life, save in the execution of the sentence of a court in respect of a criminal offence of which he has been found guilty in Nigeria

Whether every individual is entitled to respect for the dignity of his person?.
