WELCOME TO THE BLOG OF THE DUE PROCESS ADVOCATES (DPA)

I am so happy to welcome you to the Due Process Advocates (DPA), the authentic voice for justice, fairness, equity and right to the pursuit of happiness.

In the wake of the cold-blooded murders of four innocent students of Uniport, the Due Process Advocates formerly “Uniport 4” Organization was established. We shall continue to use what happened in Uniport as opportunity to condemn jungle justice, violent vigilantism, extra-judicial executions, crimes of sexual exploitation against women that go through the criminal justice system.
