If you had a relative that was beheaded by those boys nko?

It goes both ways too

BlueRayDick:


If i had relative beheaded I would want justice, not military killing innocent people. Those military guys even killed a couple that were few weeks to their wedding all in the name of avenging the death of their colleagues.

This country na jungle anyways, na why people dey gloss over military killing unharmed civilians all in the name of maintaining law & order

BlueRayDick:


And then the military went on a killing spree ; killing both the innocent and the guilty.

I'm sure if u know anybody that died in the retaliatory attack by the military u won't think the military's actions are justified. Like imagine being in ur house and military men breaking into ur house with intent to inflict serious injury on u because criminals attacked the military.

At least unlimited22 was giving updates back then . See u justify that kind thing .

Omo! u sure say u no dey Wike inner caucus like this ?

And how do we really get this justice?

Imagine families in the SE and NE that have had their loved ones killed by gunmen, and up till today, no justice. Nothing as happened.

May God not let us be a victim of circumstances.

But if you ask me, what Wike did, is the reason why Rivers is not in this madness; not like i am justifying it.

Now you're the one making emotional arguments.

Me and you don't have the Intel available to the military. How do you know who is innocent and who is not?

The fact a man is in his house and militarily breaks in does not automatically make him innocent.

This is a moving story of how the Nigerian Army inflicted war-grade assault on Oyigbo community in Rivers, killing many residents, and injuring many others. It is another case of gross human rights violations.

Like most brides-to-be, Queen Nwazuo, 30, was beside herself with anticipation. Her wedding to her fiancé, Monday Bakor, was scheduled for next February and the preparation for the event had long begun. But the rosy future the student of Abia State Polytechnic looked forward to with her lover was truncated by bullets from rampaging troops of the Nigerian Army, who were on a reprisal mission in Oyigbo, Rivers State.

Ms Nwazuo, an orphan, was shot dead on Thursday, October 22, as she and Mr Bakor were trying to lock the latter’s shop at 12B Ehi Street as residents scurried to safety from soldiers who were shooting indiscriminately at unarmed civilians in Oyigbo town. Oyigbo lies west of the Imo River, the location of the oil wells that straddle Abia State and Rivers State in Nigeria’s Niger Delta.

“They did not care,” a distraught Mr Bakor told PREMIUM TIMES as he sobbed intermittently. “They were directly shooting at people. It was not stray bullets. They were directly shooting people. They killed people and they were using grammar to explain it.

“They came to the street where people were and I saw everybody as they were locking their shops. I was rushing to lock mine when a bullet pierced through the iron door of my shop. I saw particles all over me but the bullet hit my fiancée and she fell.

“I did not even care if they would kill me. I carried her to the hospital with the help of a person who brought a bike. It was at the hospital, Divine Light, that she was confirmed dead. Nobody was confronting anybody in that area. I am not IPOB. I don’t meet with anybody. You can only see me at my house and church and that shop.

“I am angry. They killed innocent people and they are still denying. They killed a woman I am about to marry next February. I opened this shop for us to make some money to use for her return to school.”

Mr Bakor said he and his late lover had fled Oyigbo to Etche on Wednesday, before they returned on Thursday, believing calm had returned. He said he took the woman’s remains to a mortuary around Timber Road in Oyigbo, a claim verified by PREMIUM TIMES. Informants at another mortuary at Imo River, which a resident, Emmanuel Maduabuchi helped locate, said families were bringing dead bodies to deposit amid the siege.

“It was divine grace that I was not also killed when I took her to hospital and later to the mortuary. Everywhere was dry and there were shootings everywhere,” he said.

Another victim, just like several others who were killed by the troops, Excellent Moses was, on the evening that the fatal cockktail opened in Oyigbo, standing hundred metres from the Mbano Camp Junction where an armoured combat vehicle of Nigerian soldiers was stationed, powering gunfires to different directions . He was hit by a bullet. Fallen and soaked in blood, Mr. Moses, a young Christian minister, let out a loud painful screech, before some low dying moans.

His friend by whose house he was standing, Willy Callistus (surname not included over safety concern), hurtled towards him. Given a fireman’s carry, Mr Moses was taken to a nearby hospital, Glorious Medical Centre.

“By the time I got to the hospital after his friends called me, my son was already dead,” Mr Moses’ mum, a civil servant, visited by PREMIUM TIMES, began, struggling to hold back tears. “I saw two holes, one on his chest and the other by his side, meaning the bullet pierced through the front and blew open his side. His shirt was also perforated.”

Mr Moses, a pastor serving at the Living Faith Church, Igwuruta, a Port Harcourt suburb, had travelled to his Oyigbo family home on Tuesday, October 20, to get a carpenter and interior decorator for some work at his Igwuruta apartment. It was a journey of no-return. He was shot dead by soldiers, his family and two friends, who witnessed the fatal incident, said.

“They said soldiers did not kill anybody in Oyigbo but my own first son was killed and those who witnessed the incident and carried him, like these boys (pointing to Willy Callistus, and Emmanuel Maduabuchi, another of Mr Moses’ friend) said the bullet was from the APC (armoured personnel carrier) at the (Mbano Camp) Junction,” his mother, a civil servant, told PREMIUM TIMES at her Ohita Street family home.

This reporter saw bullet holes on the houses close to the spot where Mr Moses stood before he was killed.

The video in this tweet has been verified to that of a young man called Justice, who was shot by Nigerian forces in Oyigbo. We showed the video to a set of young men at a football field off the road that leads to the Glorious Medical Centre. They identified him, as did Willy Callistus separately.

He's adding more to the problem not improving the site

BlueRayDick:


The fact that Nigerian military and security forces fail at their primary duty(which is security of lives and properties) does not confer on them right to cause grief to families of people who know next to nothing about the initial criminal acts of IPOB/ESN.

How do u rationalize killing innocent people while u are seeking justice ? U are only causing more grief to others and making more future criminals/monsters

I am forever grateful to him. The number one job of a governor is security of lives and properties.

We don't need ninnies like Ortom who instead of acting, they release statements blaming the FG on social media and shed crocodile tears on TV.

BlueRayDick:


So the people who narrated their ordeals in the hands of the military are all guilty because the military says so ? Which intel did the miliatry have that made them start shooting anybody on sight ?

Read the excerpt below and tell me again that this is just emotions

But they are suffering it too
Their revenue dan fall sef

BlueRayDick:


Well it's too early to determine whether their revenue has fallen or not; the review of the student visa is just taking effect this January. Na when year-end and dem bring out figures of this year's applicants vs last year we go really know.

Single people will still enter UK through the student's visa route, na married people go dey majorly affected.

Itsrm:


If they are innocent, their death is regretted. They paid the supreme price for the peace we enjoy today. They are victims of "war".

What cannot be taken away is that, the method of the governor worked. Many more would have lost their lives if he had folded his arms.
