Federal Police requests 14 additional days for investigation into EPRP members

The Federal Police has requested an additional 14 days from the Federal High Court to conclude the investigation into EPRP members accused of terrorism. The suspects—Yishak Wolday, Abebe Akalu, and Abera Nigus—are accused of involvement in attacks in the Arba Minch area, Southern Ethiopia region, which allegedly resulted in the deaths of 17 civilians, the displacement of 23 families, and property destruction. Police stated that they need more time to analyze electronic evidence, record witness testimonies, and trace bank accounts. They argue the case is complex and involves links to external forces. The court has scheduled a ruling for tomorrow after reviewing the investigation files.
