Lloyd, Ugo, Tekana and Chidiaka
Four promising young men whose lives were interwoven in one way
or the other with yours and mine.
I mourn deeply with the families of these young men because this
is OUR collective loss. They were our colleagues, our classmates, our
neighbors, our brothers… our friends.
We are NOT a nation of barbarians. We CAN follow
due processes and procedures. We MUST fight together as ONE NATION
to ensure that Justice as a whole is served, and as a PROCESS, is duly
followed-ALWAYS.
We can only try to make meaning of this senseless tragedy by
ensuring that this WILL not happen again, by affirming that the pursuit of
justice does not in any way entitle any of us to the willful elimination of other
people’s lives and by ensuring that we, as youths, do not destroy the honorable
mantle placed on us as the future of our nation, by eliminating our present.
Aluu 4 and Mubi 40, Rest In Perfect Peace.
God Bless Nigeria
