Demonic Jungle Justice - The Aluu Killings

Chronicled by Afronuts @ Sunday, October 07, 2012

 

 

I would have written something on this sad story of 4 students being bludgeoned and burnt to death for either stealing laptops and phones or being cultists (whichever the crime was) but I was just too horrified after seeing the video of these young men who could have been anybody’s erring kids being sent to their deaths by a irate mob of Aluu indigenes in Rivers State.

One person who calls himself a human being literarily beat them to death as though they were animals! I wonder…does he have children? Who made him the master executioner?

 

 

And he had the stomach to set a fellow human being on fire!

 

Is life this meaningless in Nigeria?

 

We’re not even very sure of the crime they said they committed or what they stood for…so why were the people so eager to kill?

 

How are you who is casting the stone against these men any better and in the position to judge their fate?

 

I watched the video and was so disturbed for the next few minutes when I saw the mindless killing of these young men. Presently, the video has been yanked off youtube due to its horrific content. Thank goodness for that.

 

Though there is claim that an arrest has been made of the community traditional ruler, I’m also hearing that there may be a plot afoot to revenge on the indigenes of the community that killed these boys. I don’t know how true that is, but if it is, then we are on the verge of another communal crisis.

 

May God help us in this Nation!
