I first got wind of this circulating news via a co-worker on
BBM. Apparently this had been going round as the news of a girl that had been
gang-raped and buried alive. When I got the link, it led to a website where the
video was loaded and the only info was as written below:
‘This is an evil act.
Raping a young lady and burying her alive. But thank God for Nigerian army who
uncover this evil act after 12 hrs. Girls be warned...mind who you are going
out with! Cultism is on the increase among the Nigeria youths....why this killings
everyday! God Please have mercy on us’.
Later I was to discover that it had been copied verbatim
from Onyejekwe Macdonald’s
Youtube page description of the video. This same thing was replicated by other
sites and blogs.
It’s a terrible scenario to behold…a naked dead girl, bound
at her wrists, blindfolded and gagged being exhumed from a sandy grave which
points to the fact that it happened in a beachy area which is what Bonny Island
would look like.
The Culprits bringing out the corpse |
Apparently from the video, there was another girl which the culprits had also killed but had not buried. From about 2:01 minutes
into the video, one of the officers is heard asking;
‘Why didn’t they bury
the other one and they buried only this one?’
I’m not sure people watched this video well before reporting
it. Many just copy pasted without any useful addition to the report. Then
contrary to the report spreading, there was no proof that she was buried alive.
The army personnel there speculated that she must have been killed before being
buried. For all those who are reporting that she was buried alive, where did
you get the evidence? One person in the video mentioned the girl being buried
alive but others voiced that she was raped, killed and buried.
The incident happened sometime last year as the Youtube
video recorded loading it on the 13th of October 2012.
I wonder why it’s being dug up so late into this year. I
guess the Linda Ikeji needed to upload something that would news-trend…and it
worked.
somebody said one day that she wishes she could just have a pause button and pause every bad news. it saddens me that there is so much killing in our country. I love your blog and i am your newest follower. please check my blog out. www.secretlilies.blogspot.com
