The threads being opened (so many since yesterday) on the killing by the Buhari regime of Bernard Ogedengbe, and two others (Lawal Ojuolape and Bartholomew Owoh) need to have a response, and no one person is more appropriate than General Buhari.
I have luckily found out an interview granted the Sun Newspapers some years back where Buhari addressed the issue.
The motives of the threads seem obviously questionable. But on a personal level, I and many others will be home with the General's argument, especially where it started that those who destroyed others shouldn't be allowed to enjoy the loot arising therefrom.
Here's the excerpt:
|
Before I come to that, there was also this issue of Decree 4, alleged drug peddlers who your regime ordered shot. Looking back now, do you think you made mistake in those areas?
You see, maybe my rigidity could be traced to our insistence on the laws we made. But we decided that the laws must be obeyed.

But they said it was retroactive.
Yes, they said so. But I think it should be in the archive; we said that whoever brought in drugs and made Nigeria a transit point committed an offence.
These drugs, We We (Indian hemp), is planted here, but the hard drug, cocaine, most Nigerians don’t know what cocaine is. They just made Nigeria a transit point and these people did it just to make money. You can have a certain people who grow Ashisha or We We and so on because it is indigenous. Maybe some people are even alleging that those who want to come for operation, brought the seed and started to grow it in Nigeria. But cocaine, it is alien to our people. So, those who used Nigeria as a transit, they just did it to make money. And this drug is so potent that it destroys people, especially intelligent people. So, the Supreme Military Council did a memo. Of course, I took the memo to the Supreme Military Council and made recommendation and the Supreme Military Council agreed.

There was no dissenting voice?
There was no dissenting in the sense that majority agreed that this thing, this cocaine, this hard drug was earning Nigeria so much bad name in the international community because Nigeria was not producing it, but Nigerians that wanted to make money didn’t mind destroying Nigerians and other youths in other countries just to make money. So, we didn’t need them. We didn’t need them.

But there were pleas by eminent Nigerians not to kill the three men involved in the trafficking?
Pleas, pleas; those that they destroyed did they listen to their pleas for them not to make hard drug available to destroy their children and their communities?

So, it is not something you look back now at 70 and say it was an error?
No, it was not an error. It was deliberate. I didn’t do it as an head of state by fiat. We followed our proper system and took it. If I was sure that the Supreme Military Council then, the majority of them decided that we shouldn’t have done so, we could have reduced it to long sentencing. But people who did that, they wanted money to build fantastic houses, maybe to have houses in Europe and invest. Now, when they found out that if they do it, they will get shot, then they will not live to enjoy at the expense of a lot of people that became mental and became harmful and detrimental to the society and so on, then they will think twice.

buhari the life destroyer is talking.

SeverusSnape:
Buhari destroyed more lives.

Jonathan has already destroyed yours, making your culture corrupt knowing you will never amount to much with corruption. He already has $69B-) debt on your head. If you are afraid of discipline, hard work and moral rectitude you better leave Nigeria in February. The country is changing for the better and we are not having crap.

dats my president,very firm and just

Does that make buhari not a life destroyer?

when did i mention drug sellers here? Buhari supporters are too clueless.

Samchelsea:

Which trial?
Are you referring to the type of trials we have now that drags on for ages by which time every objective persons have been compromised resulting in light weight sentences?
There are some things that dont need too much talk, they just need swift judgement.

You executed a man for committing a crime that didn't not carry capital punishment. At worse, you could have jailed him.
APC fanatics will come here and start shouting Sai Buhari......
Hypocrites.

Samchelsea:

did you just type this?......so you prefer killing without trial?....even murder suspects can be freed or sentenced to life imprisonment after proper trial e.g Oscar Pistorious, OJ Simpson not to talk of this one that is relating to drug trafficking

BeeBeeOoh:

Oga GMB, "ikugo aka na tipper bu aja..

That's correct. If you destroy life, you should pay for it.

Omo boy see defense ah... you kill I kill you . Buhari no get remorse at all. This is confirm vendetta mentality.

why won't it be silly since your lord/master carried it out

You a customised nuisance! Was there not a law against drug trafficking? I can't just understand how u jonathanians reason at times...these is what degenerated Nigeria to this level..tolerance of indiscipline and breaking of law.

Samchelsea:

The child of Lawal Ojuolape, one of the people killed, has said he has nothing against Buhari. He went to the extent of recommending Fashola and others to be be appointed Buhari's government. What is your problem?

The PDP Nl couldn't understand why this dude's loved: It's nothing but this firmness in decision.

Mayor adopts this wisdom

worthytalk:

Don't mislead. It's in reference to that issue and prevailing law at that time.

LouisVanGaal:
You a customised nuisance! Was there not a law against drug trafficking? I can't just understand how u jonathanians reason at times...these is what degenerated Nigeria to this level..tolerance of indiscipline and breaking of law.

does all your gibberish dispute the fact that buhari destroyed lives?.....dundee united

OrlandoOwoh:

doesn't matter what he said, the question is when they were executed did their offense carry a death penalty law? The answer is no. If the son of the man spoke out doesn't mean he is still not aggrieved but just wants to forget the past and move on, what about the family of the other people he killed have their family members come out to forgive Buhari as well?

zubby29:
so dos selling drugs are building lives?give ur self some brain

u see,when I see the comment of some people like the idiots and fool who aired their comments before ours,then I become ashamed of some of our youths..and on the other hand,I don't blame them cos they lack the common sense to decipher.if buhari hasn't taken that measure,our country would be like jamaica and other countries where lifes of drug addicts are pawn!! And till today,is cocaine popular in nigeria or is it rampant?even the few ones they have in nigeria are being smuggled out..use ur brain pls

Go to court.

If the poster is correct, then Buhari's explanation for murdering those boys is worse than the action, because for some reason, this man believes he has a more superior moral authority than anyone else, some form of islamic fundamentalistist puritism.
The worse story is that he still believes he was right, and feels even more empowered to return seeking power again. This time, Buhari will be a stronger messsiah, destroying anybody he percieves to have violated his myopic defintion of morality!

Ah ah! Why the twist? Are you really a Chelsea fan? The Chelsea I know value hard work, steadfastness, and success.

OrlandoOwoh:

of course expect your name as a defendant in the suit
