Do we still have a National Human Right Commission in
Nigeria?
Is there still a Nigeria Police Force which ought to be
responsible for securing life and property in Nigeria?
Is there still a Government in Nigeria?
The silence of the Jonathan Presidency, the State Security
Service, the Inspector General of police and the entire insecurity apparatus of
the Nigerian contraption on the killing of activists of Igbo ethnic nationality
whose bodies were dumped into a local river in Anambra State tantamount to
official complicity in this most tragic episode.
Would this dangerous descent along the path that led to
the Biafran genocide of 1967 - 1970 have been avoided if adequate recognition
of past errors and safe-guards to address same had been implemented?
Let's
restructure and renegotiate our contraption whilst the windows of opportunity
are still open!
