An alibi for targeted mass-murders?

by Eze Eluchie

The disingenuous announcement by Mr. Musa Kwakwanso, who rules over Kano State as governor, of a list of 25 names as the totality of victims who perished in the Boko Haram blast at the Kano Luxury Bus Park in Sabon Gari, is patently fraudulent and clearly a ruse to obviate reality. Anyone familiar with the territory, inclusive of the fact of the composition of the population in Sabon Gari, the ownership of the destroyed Luxury Buses, and the proposed destination the bombed buses, will clearly appreciate the dubiousness inherent in Kwakwanso’s figures.

Here we have a governor  (and government) who has never come up with the list of victims of any of the several Boko Haram bombings in his domain, now knowing each and every one of the ‘25’ victims and the place of residence of some of the victims.  Come on Musa Kwakwanso, you can be smarter than that!

Lying to obviate reality does not address pertinent issues – rather it only gives room for more vile crimes to be committed, and yet another spate of lies to be manufactured to cover the filth. This madness continues until the truth blows up, often times, in a most destructive manner.

Every passing day, the need for a holistic restructuring and renegotiation of our contraption becomes more pertinent.
