[b][/b] It sounds incredible but it really happened. A family went to the home of their in-laws to accord their daughter a befitting burial only for them to lose two other of their family in the most brutal manner. The ugly incident allegedly took place at Umueze-Anam in Anambra state in January 23, 2016. Spokesman for the bereaved family, Christopher David,40, who narrated how the incident happened alleged that youths in the area unleashed terror on them and ended up killing two of his brothers, Obinna David,24, and Chuks David,17, in cold blood during the burial of their only daughter, Gloria who was married to a man from the area. DEATH OF OUR DAUGHTER: “Before her death, 31-year-old Gloria, was married to Fidelis Ofozor for eight years without a child. She was a full time housewife. On the 21st of December, 2015, our in-laws called us to say that Gloria was very sick and that she was itted in a hospital in Port Harcourt where they still reside. Two days later, they called to inform us that she had ed on. It was really a sad news for all of us, especially our mother as she was the only daughter of the family and worst still, she didn’t have a child of her own before her premature death. But, we put everything in the hand of God who sees all things. BURIAL PLANS: “Her husband’s family notified us after they fixed the date for her burial for January 23rd, 2016 in their home town, Umueze-Anam in Anambra state as custom demands because she was married traditionally. Without an inkling that our in-laws had other plans in stock for us, family and friends from our home town in Ohuhun, Ubaha village in Umuahia, Abia state and Port Harcourt where some of my brothers are based, followed us to Umueze-Anam in Anambra state.” WHY WE WERE ATTACKED: Recounting all that happened on the day of the burial the elder brother of the deceased, Christian Okorie, who was physically present during the attack told Crime Guard: “During the course of the burial, our mother was in tears and while weeping, she lamented by saying;”My daughter, oh you died a premature death, whosoever that is involved in your death would not know peace.” The statement angered our in-laws and they became enraged and started shouting, asking why she uttered that statement. Immediately after the prayers, our daughter was taken to the burial ground where she was committed to mother earth while we returned to the burial venue. Suddenly, some youths in their village wearing black T shirts began to attack us with cutlasses, broken bottles and sticks. They used machetes to cut us, they broke my ankle with sticks. Everyone that accompanied us from the village to the town had to scamper for safety as we were all under attack. Along with some family , we ran towards the commercial motorcyclist park in the village so that we can escape, but the cyclists chased us back and dragged us to the burial site. How our brothers disappeared “When we got there, I found out that they had beaten my brothers and some of our relatives to a pulp. Some of them were already bleeding heavily. Later, four hefty men came and dragged Chuks and Obinna out. We kept pleading with one of our in-laws to intervene. He said we should not disturb him; that there was nothing he could do. Before I knew what was happening, another group of youths, five in number, started dragging me to the riverside. They said they would drown me. As they were dragging me, a woman who saw what was happening started shouting, and saying “he is a camera man, what has he done? You people should leave him.” As the woman was shouting, the people who were dragging me did not bulge. Neither did the elderly men who were seated at the burial site intervene. Instead, they kept shouting, take him to the riverside. As they were dragging me towards the riverside, that same woman kept shouting and crying, “you cannot kill this man.” All of a sudden, two of them withdrew. The other three kept dragging me down. The woman was still busy following us. Later, the other two withdrew remaining one. That was when I heard a voice which said they should bring that man here. When they took me there, the man inside the compound said the blood gushing out from my body was too much; they should take me to the clinic that I was dying. RESCUE AT LAST: “That was how he rescued me and I was rushed to the clinic. When I got there, I saw one of my brothers who was also rescued. It was then I also knew that the man that was shouting before was a policeman. He revealed that they came to rescue us in the morning but regretted that they were threatened not to come out no matter what happened, that they own the land. They had to seek more men from Otuocha because they were only two policemen. The reinforcement came to the hospital later in the evening. From there, they took us to a hospital in Awka. We were there in Otuocha hospital from Saturday till Monday morning in the evening when they came to attack us again in the hospital. POLICE INTERVENE “At about 1am when policemen went back to the site to rescue my brother’s wife, both my uncle, my mother and some other people that came with us had sustained injuries. The Divisional Police Officer from Awka led some policemen to the burial site where they met with the Community Chairman, Youth Chairman, Council Chairman asking them to produce Chuks and Obinna who at that time were missing. The villagers told them that we killed their youths but when the police asked them to show their bodies, they said they deposited them in the mortuary. He asked them how can they take a corpse to the mortuary with out police report and autopsy. The DPO asked us to go get adequate medical attention and come back. It was later we realized that Obinna and Chuks had been murdered by the village youths led by the commercial motorcyclist chairman. EXTORTION BY THE POLICE: “Before they were murdered, 24-year-old Obinna David was a three hundred level Business istration student of Abia State university while Chuks David, was a secondary school student. Up till date, the police haven’t done any arrest. At Awka, the policemen collected N60,000 from us. When nothing was forth coming, we wrote a petition to Zone 9 in Umuahia. They demanded money from us to start investigation. Later, they invited one of us, Fidelis Ofozor and his Uncle who were later detained and released. Our PLEA: “We are calling on well- meaning Nigerians, Human Rights activists and the Inspector -General of Police, to intervene in the investigation and bring the culprits to book. Imagine how they killed two people in cold blood including our sister who died under mysterious circumstances because they think they have influence and money and connection in Abuja. http://www.vanguardngrcom/2016/04/s-h-o-c-k-n-g/ 1 Like |

What happened on the 5th of October 2012 was a tragedy beyond imagination. The lives of Chidiaka, Ugonna, Tekana and Lloyd were snatched by fellow human beings and more importantly fellow country men and women. Four young men had dreams and great plans for the future. These dreams led to their enrollment in the University of Port Harcourt. The four were loved brothers, cherished sons, wonderful friends, ordinary citizens, leaders of tomorrow. They had no criminal background. *Ugonna, Lloyd, Tekena, Chidiaka; victims of Uniport killings. This terrible act of “jungle justice” was recorded on several devices and immediately went viral. The shame of our nation was displayed for the world to see. It was a heinous crime against humanity. It was a spit in the face of our justice system. And justice must be served for the lives of the innocent snatched by those who felt that they were above the law and became the Judge and Jury. The Nigerian constitution states: The Federal Republic of Nigeria shall be a State based on the principles of democracy and social justice. (2) It is hereby, accordingly, declared that: (a) sovereignty belongs to the people of Nigeria from whom government through this Constitution derives all its powers and authority; (b) the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government. This is a right for every Nigerian, that there should be absolute guarantee of our security and welfare. So, if this is the constitution which must be adhered to and which protects every citizen, why has the justice system dragged, for too long, the prosecution of the suspected perpetrators of this barbaric crime? It is obscene and doesn’t speak well of Nigeria to delay prosecuting the suspects of a crime witnessed by the world via internet, phones, blogs. Are we to assume the police didn’t see these videos? These young men were paraded like animals in their own country for crimes they never committed or had any intentions to commit. Isn’t this the highest form of injustice? This terrible tragedy happened in Rivers State. What measures have been taken by the Police in that state to ensure quick and effective prosecution? The police have been tardy. Rivers state Judiciary has been crippled by commotion and strikes. [b][/b]The case has remained stagnated. Our value system has totally collapsed. A video footage showed a police man hitting the victims with the butt of a rifle. Investigations identified the police officer and implicated the traditional ruler. They and 11 other suspects were first arraigned in a magistrate court in October 2012, charged with murder. The Director of public prosecution has preferred murder charges against eight of the accused persons and the other four are being prosecuted for neglect to prevent a felony. The case has lasted four years and has barely begun. The bereaved families and general public have every cause to worry. The longer criminal cases last in Nigeria the more feeble their prosecution. Time causes erosions. The longer it lasts the more disinterested witnesses become, the weaker their evidences. Long interruptions and adjournments in cases make it easier for corruption to undermine justice. The affected families deserve justice and a speedy closure of this traumatic ordeal. If such an unspeakable horror cannot attract accelerated hearings, then we are doomed. If rampant indiscriminate violence and jungle justice must be checked in our society then people must know that the criminal justice structures and processes are effective. If we seek to banish nightmares like ALUU 4 then we must show that justice can be obtained speedily and freely through the police and the courts. And there is no better way to show it and deter criminals than make the ALUU 4 trial an example in efficiency. This case must not be forgotten, this case cannot be delayed any longer. The families have endured too much devastation and heart break already. First, their innocent children were brutally killed and now the police are failing to uphold their duty as declared by the Nigerian constitution to deliver justice and apprehend the perpetrators. It is sad to imagine that our nation has deteriorated to this degenerate state where human life doesn’t matter. We cannot accept “jungle justice” as part of our Nigerian experience. It should only exist as the name suggests in the jungle. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/03/port-hacourt-killings-accepted-jungle-justice/
