JUSTICE DELAY IS ALWAYS JUSTICE DENIED

The killings of some innocents Nigerians last week by the Nigeria's security under the pretext of security details regarding those killed is one of those things that will never be forgotten or forgiving.
The Apo killings sparks the need to sanitize the nation intelligence system and security information, to avoid killings of innocents citizen. Those youth are promising person and mostly bread winners of there family, simply leaving their various villages to come to FCT for greener posture, not knowing that they coming to meet their end at the hand of unprofessional security that always act based on miscalculation and false alarms.
The 8 squatters that met their death are from the northern part of the country and believe me they are just ramped without question, and the government is yet to make any arrest, beside, they are even justifying the killing as a no mistake crush of potential terrorist, base on intelligence.
The unfortunate event reminds me on how the North east nightmare started, when a common helmet sparks years of bloodshed and destruction of billions of properties That leads to the unrest because of the barbaric approach of the police in Maiduguri in 2009. Whether we like it or not, our security personnel are the roots of all our problem and challenges which is drawing the country backward and reducing our economy to subsistence.

We can only be safe in our country if we have honest leadership and the good formation of officers and men of a security output, that can tirelessly prevent, protect and secure the both land and borders of the country we all owe her an allegiance.
We can only be safe if there is epitome of justice in every single function of this country, a place where the elites do what they wish and score free without paying for it, a country where if you happen to be poor you will only sleep as a squatter and that could cost you your life, like the incident of APO, where some marauders who called themselves security round up an uncompleted building and gun down 8 youth innocently without remorse.

Since the Apo incident of last week, many commentators and opinion leaders analyse the issue and gave there view, as there is an element of sentiments in the justification of this killing, perhaps is just because they are from the North, or just because they are Muslims.
I don't want to be drag to religious sentimentalism, but we are furious to see the way our government is handling this case, the young men were just blatantly gun down and nothing is happening to the perpetrators.
The Apo killings reveals the much corrupt of the government, who did everything to make fools of Nigerians as if they are putting better things.
Since the occurrence of the incidence last week, various rights groups have been advocating for justice to be exercise for this young Nigerians who became unfortunate and fall victims of a corrupt system that cares less on the welfare of people. The Northern elders are still mute, or react less, unlike there counterpart in other parts of the country, ours cannot bite not even the useless bark.
The SSS, the Army and the police have all blunders in this incident and different version from the various securities out pit were brought to justified the killings but all in vein, they cannot present a substantial evidence to justified the Apo killing.
We are still agitating the justice for this young Nigerians that were slewed and we will never keep quite until the denied justice is serve.
