ALUU 4:
THERE SHALL BE MORE KILLINGS!

Every occurrence in life is meant to guide the future.  But where such beacon is ignored there’s the likelihood that such occurrence will reoccur. 

 

 

After 911, America did not just want to avenge the horror.  They upgraded their terror watch so that they would not be so easy a target for terrorists in the future. 

 

After Aluu 4, what has improved about the sacredness of the life of a Nigerian?  

 

There was a Presidential broadcast after the incident of the Aluu 4 and the President did not deem it important enough to put in even one sentence about the unfortunate four because there was the too important an issue of establishing a “COME-EAT” or is it committee that will oversee the money sharing formula surrounding flood ravished communities.  Or is it because it was usual to have alleged criminals burnt alive?

 

Is jungle justice not a recognized unspoken law in the nation?  If it is not, why would a police officer sanction the lynching of the Aluu 4?

 

 

 

Is our society not an embodiment of the cliché: “survival of the fittest? “

 

Is this not a country where an employer calls in the police to arrest an employee and such a person could be forgotten in the police cell without taken to court to prove his/her innocence over what he/she was arrested for?

 

Do the police not subject alleged criminals they arrest to similar torture given to the Aluu 4 in the name of investigation?

 

 

The incident about the Aluu 4 bears its origin from the negligence of our authorities to properly handle criminals and so when the innocent are accused to be criminals they too will be subjected to such horror.  

 

Ours is a nation where the police does not arrive the scene of criminal upheaval they have been contacted about until after the culprits have escaped and they then drive to the scene of the crime with so much noise and gun touting razzmatazz to harass innocent passers-by in the name of arresting suspects.

 

The nation has no trusted means of security for its people.  So the people will be animals and turn the society into a jungle.      

 

There’s fear in my heart, that whatever positive actions that may be coming from the authorities now may be as a result of public show of empathy that will last only for the moment.  As such, THERE WILL BE MORE KILLINGS in this jungle we call our society! 

 

My condolences to the families of the victims of the lawlessness of the Aluu 4 and future victims that will stem from our nation’s refusal to be guided by Aluu 4’s beacon.
