Nigeria, June 9 -- On Tuesday, it clocked exactly 16 years after five young traders at the Apo auto-parts market in Abuja and a fiancee of one of the traders were extrajudicially murdered by armed police officers in the federal capital territory, FCT.

The victims, who were said to be between 21 and 25 years of age, were Ifeanyi Ozor, Chinedu Meniru, Anthony Nwokike, Paulinus Ogbonna, Ekene Isaac Mgbe and, Augustina Arebu. They were later popularly referred to as "Apo Six."
