"NIGERIA HAS VERY BIG PROBLEM! HONESTLY!
#threadstory
People support their own criminals and murderers, it doesn't matter that they are the ones that are the major victims.
The military yesterday killed the most dreaded killer in Benue State, and possibly
the North Central, Tarwase Akwaza, popularly known as Gana. I saw the pain and distress it caused Gov. Ortom, who lamented that Gana was coming for SECOND AMNESTY before the military laid ambush and killed him.
SECOND AMNESTY!
Well, I thought that Ortom was alone in this pain until Uzordimma Enzo Nzeribe drew my attention to a post made by one Benue indigine, who said he had so much respect for the military, but had lost that respect because of the extrajudicial killing of Gana.
He too explained that Gana was coming for SECOND. AMNESTY. I feel like crying! SECOND AMNESTY! After Gana had been granted the FIRST AMNESTY and properly settled by Ortom government.
I noticed that many other Benue indigines that responded to the post were
equally sad that Gana was killed. They never tried to claim that the atrocities said to have been committed by Gana were lies; no attempts whatsoever to exonerate him, but they just think their own murderer should not have been killed. They quickly pointed out that even
repented Book Haram are being granted amnesty.
This argument sounds good. "Since you are granting amnesty to Boko Haram, grant our own mass murderer his SECOND AMNESTY.
I came to tears. Tarwase wrecked havoc in Benue and Taraba. He was a devil who killed, raped, made villages
desolate. His major victims were not Igbos nor Yoruba, they were Benue people. And those who are sad today that their own murderer has been killed are Benue indigines.
Nigeria!
I remember many Igbo people lamenting that Evans the kidnapper was being tried because he is Igbo.
These people wondered whether government would try Evans if he were a Fulani. Yet, in all his escapades, Evans didn't kill a single Fulani man; all those he killed in the course of his job were prominent Igbo men.
But as Igbos, we needed to protect our own murderer.
What has really happened to this nation? Is there any hope at all with out shocking attitude?
Why can a people willingly and wantonly cut their nose just to spite their face?
God, I wish for my nation."
