Nigeria Universities – Polytechnics and College of Education news Nigerian Educational News | Zenith Of Educational NewsThis is one of the most painful article i’ve compiled in a decade. I don’t even know what to say, gosh people are wick, i’ll tell you that.
This is really sad and the story you’re about to read can help us understand why it’s difficult to stop an angry mob bent of carrying out their execution. It’s crazy, and you’ve got to believe me, because reading this I can definitely believe how she must’ve been helpless in trying to explain things to them, explaining and shouting on top of her voices to a crowd of More than Three Thousand People who are bent on seeing blood and heads rolling.
Apparently, the police was there when this happened also, which is also in line with Mrs Baringa’s story.It is very sad when human life can’t even be protected by the police, people whom pledge to guard and protect. So what the main reason of having the police there in ALUU community? One thing i know for sure is that not all POLICE FORCE in Nigeria could stand by and watch how innocent people were roasted like rats!.
Miss Ibisobia Elkanah, who is elder sister of Tekena Friday Elkanah, revealed few days ago, that policemen visited the scene where the students were burnt to death after they were severely injured and that one of the law enforcement agents told the perpetrators of the dastardly act to actually burn the four UNIPORT students alive.
Seriously, i think that that policeman who vomit that word should be line up with the killers, some people are not just worth to be in the NIGERIA POLICE FORCE. {NPF}
The murdered students, Chiadika Lordson, Ugonna Kelechi Obusor, Mike Lloyd Toku, and Tekena Elkanah, all students of the UNIVERSITY OF PORT HARCOURT, were murdered in cold blood over alleged theft of a laptop computer and a blackberry phone.
Ibisobia, a part-time final year student of Marketing, at the same university who witnessed the incident, said on that fateful day, at about 7.30 am, she was at the house of her girl friend in ALUU community, when suddenly, she heard people shouting outside and phe noticed crowd passing by.
Like every normal human being, she was curious about what’s going on outside, so she dashed out and beckoned on her friend to come since she lived in the area and know places.
She Narrated her story like this:
The thing attracted much noise and attention. So i went there but did not actually see or recognize any of them, due to the crowd and people surrounding them. I heard when people were saying the people they {vigilance group} caught were strangers, that they are going to burn them in the Burrow Pit.
They said they were asking them questions, so that they could know their senders. She also narrated that after that, she went back to her friend’s house, but could not stay there. So immediately, she went back again. This time around, she went through the bush path so that she could see the people whom the community wants to burn in the BURROW PIT properly. She started jumping to see if she could see them, but all to on avail.
She said that she jumped again but saw nothing. So i jumped the second time and I saw Tekena. Tekena happened to be my brother. I told myself that I was not seeing well, this thing is a lie. I jumped the third time, I saw Lloyd {one of the victims.} So, I started shouting for help.
From what i gathered, the first time i came, they said they were not known, that they were strangers. But i identified them, so i started shouting. Ibisobia said she continued shouting that Tekena was her brother, saying that he came to her on Thursday in school and she gave him his school fees. I told them that somebody should allow me to ask him what happened and what he came to do, that Tekena would confide in me. Tekena was wailing and in a pool of blood, i hardly recognised him myself.
Tekena has been my younger brother for many years. I saw them {Tekena and his three other friends} as they lay in the water naked with leaves covering their nakedness. His elder sister said she struggled and entered the crowd. Somebody shouted:
Who is that?
What is she doing inside?
People were pushing me and I started crying. I was shouting, that He is my brother!.
He is not a thief! Somebody behind me said: O’girl run for your life.
About two persons turned and asked,are you sure he is your brother, and they said may be i was the person that sent him to go and steal. Ibisobia replied them that how could she send him, that she did not look as such. They said I should run for my life or else? that i would be the next one, that is since they are four, i’ll be the fifth person.
The young lady lamented that before she could get to her friend’s room to call her family members, she learnt that the mob had taken them to the burrow pit, where they will beat them to coma and burn them alive.
So, she went there again, inside the mob.
She also said that she called her family and they started coming.
However, before her family members arrived at the scene, a police van came, went into the mob and they were talking to them {the ALUU youths}.
The people kept quiet as police were making statements. Suddenly, i heard them laughing. You know, they were happy. They kept quiet again. Police talked and they laughed again. The next was for me to see three policemen coming out of the mob, boarded their van. And, one of the said to the mob, burn them alive.
I must confess, i was suddenly gripped with fear of what the mob will do to my brother and his friends.
I had the intention to talk to the man that said they should be burnt alive. As soon as they {police} drove off, i saw the flames.
I was thinking they burnt them after they had killed them. Later, I discovered that they were burnt while they were still alive.That is still the worst day of my life, which i won’t forget in a hurry. I saw my blood brother die in front of me.
God have Mercy, after going thruigh some people’s comment on our FACEBOOK FANPAGE, i was just plainly crazy, what are certain people talking that the Government is to be blame? That the people of Aluu Fends for themselves? That if the Government had tried and stop stealing and other things in the Country, that this four uniport students wouldn’t have been killed.
I Couldn’t even replied them back.
