USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fwd: ||NaijaObserver|| Season of Blood Rain in Nigeria- The Massacre of Shi’ites by the Nigerian Army





 



Victoria Ibezim-Ohaeri on Facebook

347 people massacred and buried in mass graves in Kaduna and nobody has been queried, let alone punished? No outrage anywhere?

Not once, not twice, not even thrice have I decided to quit the social media and quit all forms of public commentary. Several times, I have told myself to quit social advocacy, hit the private sector, make some mega-bucks for myself and my family, and live a good life forever. I can do this. I can.

But yet, I read news like this and I cannot sleep at night. A raging fire burns deep inside me and wont let me keep silent in the face of atrocious injustices meted on citizens by the same authorities they look up to for protection.

What kind of country is this? Where is our humanity? Where is our conscience?




Speaking on Monday when he appeared before the judicial commission which the Kaduna state government set up to probe the clash, Musa said the burial took place between 12:30am and 5:30am on December 14.

Benjamin Adelaja Adekunle That figure is apparently half of those STILL missing.

When it occurred and outrage sounded from so many, those close to the epicentre said things that made one lose more faith in humanity.


Those who thought this incident could be excused, swept away and forgotten under the carpet are not aware of the properties of the blood that runs in their own veins.

This will bear consequences in conscience, in courts and in hearts....

Muhammad Hashim Suleiman The killings were uncalled for. VIO, what of the hundreds killed by the Zakzakies! Just a day to that clash, they (Zakzakies) where in a killing spree in a village outside Zaria. Also, for many years, these have people have constituted themselves into an alien law in Zaria, they arrest, they detain and even kill whom they wanted to kill and the security apparatuses kept a distance from them.

Adedeji Ademola Taofik Please we need you to give us details accounts of How many people this sec Zakyzaky killed and why didn't any media report those incidences? Sorry to say that no amount of justisfication can be given for killing 347 people on a single attack without any report of any soldiers injured or killed in that attacked? this is worrisome and justice must be giving for those responsible for this attack.

Muhammad Hashim Suleiman Please, go to my first comment, I am not justifying the killings, all I am hinting is that killers were killed in no equal proportion. Just Google history of Shi'ate killings in Nigeria and details would await you.
Doris Chii Nwike
Doris Chii Nwike You are justifying the killings. Stop deluding yourself.

Victoria Ibezim-Ohaeri Muhammad Hashim Suleiman: Is that information in the public domain? If the Shiites also killed innocent citizens, let the evidence be made public. Let the victims come forward with their evidence. What would not be tolerable is when a dog is given a bad name in order to kill it. That's not right.

Muhammad Hashim Suleiman Victoria Ibezim-Ohaeri yes it was in public domain. Even on my time line we have been documenting it. The society in Gyallesu that was turned to Gyallesustan have been documenting it on public domain, the attacks on emir Zazzau by the Zakzakies was on public domain, when they attacked the former Kaduna state governor, it was in Public domain, when more than 15 years ago, they attacked Kutama village in Kano state and killed many people it was in public domain, the Danmaishiyya attacks in the city of Sokoto was in public domain. Their annual capture of Zaria town for days was in public domain. When they attacked the COAS, it was public domain.

We that are Zaria based have been in public domain and we personally know their atrocities for decade.

Don C Okafor It's unfortunate. For those that don't understand, this fight is the Nigerian version of Sunni vs. Shiites (shia). The former is the dominant sect in Nigeria. This is a war between the aforementioned Islamic denominational groups

Sabir Omar When some mumus justify the killing of lives just to settle scores; you will marvel at their black and sick hearts. For whatever reason killing 300 unarmed people is not only barbaric the justification is specious. Extra judicial killing is among the reasons that aggravated the monstrous Bokoharam. We shouldn't support murder even if it kills our enemies, one day it may turn to us and we'll have no conscience to counter it.
