Human-Rights Is Silent Over Nasarawa Police Killings : Why? by Nathaniel734: 7:13am On May 11, 2013
I need to know or do the lives of security officers matter less...barely 2 weeks ago the media was replete with killings of civilians.
So many different stories emanated, individuals, human rights and even some international org. issued statements and made some allegations, which was a good step.

However, 2,3 days ago similar incidence occurred in Nasarawa involving security operatives, and up-til now, nobody has said anything, no human right talks, the media is silent over it, why?

Does it mean the lives of this officers don't really matter especially with fact that they were trying to curb an imminent danger and were cut off in the line of duty to their father land...

It is so sad that no one has really come out to seek for justice for this grave men, is it fair?

let us critically look at this issue, please.

1. Maybe they see it as a trivial issue.

2. Maybe they are afraid to bring home an ant infested wood, so as as to avoid the visitation of lizards.

3. Maybe the other over hyped news that we hear about killings were being fueled by opposition to GEJ.

4. Maybe they see it as a normal thing for men in uniform to die.

5. Maybe it's due to the sins of the police in the past that killed the spirit of sympathy people had towards them.

Of what use is human right organizations condemning criminals? Genuine human rights organizations are not political parties that need to be campaigning for support, they carry out work according to their mandate. Human rights organizations do not even take sides in a conflict. If one of the murderers of the service men has his rights abused, they would fight for them. Remember human rights organizations have been fighting thru US government over terrorists held in guantenemo bay.

Please do not play on peoples emotions, no body and no human rights organization has come out to justify the killing of the policemen.

Wrong. . .the so called NGOs won't talk because it won't serve their objectives and aims.just like in syria where the terrorists have used chemical weapon on government forces but till date,nobody is blaming them simply because they wanted Assad out of office by all means and so it doesn't matter if the rebels use chemical weapon or not.

Wait till the NGOs come to tell you that the people attacked the police in self-defense.

They and the opposition parties has always been silent when security personnels are killed but becomes noisy when security personnels returns the favor when they kill civilian combatants a.k.a boko haram and their accomplice.
The level of hypocrisy by these so called opposition party card carrying members that calls themselves human right groups is just so glaring and annoying!
Now they are dumb and blind because those that were killed are security personnels under the federal goverment therefore they deserve to die because they are not humans and do not have a right to life hence their rights can be trampled upon by any arm carrying civilian and once the security agencies kills such ones it becomes a crime against humanity as defined by our so called human right activists here in nigeria!
Yet to hear nor read from the opposition and merger clowns and their various town criers called spoke-persons condemning this act nor helping out rather issues of this nature goes unnoticed by them!

If the police can not protect itself,it means it is a failed force. Therefore,a failed state.

Who on earth will feel sorry for brutal and oppressive nigerian police force? It is like feeling sorry for the gestapos. Theirs is a typical case of chicken coming home to roost.

All Nigerias woes is caused by the USA and The collonial masters. And these are the facts.:
1. Before they left Nigeria, they falsified the Nigerian population figure in favour of the North.
2. They told the North never to let an old Eastern president emerge.
3. They indirectly through their proxies make oppose the emergence of an Eastern president.
Why they did it?
1. To protect their criminal oil investment cartels in Nigeria.
Why and how ?
1. Before they left Nigeria, the found out the following.
a. The Northers are very loyal and can follow shippishly, they behave like their cows. They dont have anything to offer interlectualy except in Agriculture.
B. The westerners are best in Law practices and Journalism.
C. The East are verry hard working entreprenuers, wizards in engineering and technology and the only people that can practically transform Nigeria to a self-sufficient country.

It is clear why they are antagonising GEJ. The USA and allies dont truelly want Nigeria to stand. They sabotage Nigerian because GEJ refused to accept their drones in Nigeria.
It is known all over the world the US is the number one sponsor of terrorism; if not how did they know that Nigeria will dissintegrate by or before 2015.
Nigerians be wise.

My goodness you're sick in the head.

Do you know how many Nigerian police officers have died in the last 30 years in shoot-outs against armed robbers? ie to protect YOU? (assuming of course you're Nigerian). Do you know how many thousands of officers are deployed to patrol the streets each night to protect YOU from men of the underworld who would just love to raid your home and seize your valuables? Do you really think it is that silly fence and gate that is protecting you from them? Think again.

Seriously, you have a knack for saying the wrong things. Though, I appreciate the fact that you have to earn your pay from ACN and Tinubu but your recklessness in thought and candour keeps beating acceptable human standards.

If indeed your so called allies in the US and UK have condemned the killings, how come nobody except ACN Lapdogs has heard about it?. I have little or no sympathies for PDP but you guys in ACN take the cake in sensationalism and hyperventilation.

you are a dishonest toad.
The US/UK did not condemn the killings of security operatives.
They were only re-echoing the sentiments of unscrupulous NGOs and human rights group who heat up the polity by promoting propaganda against the military.
The US/UK were asking the govt to probe the deaths of the so-called innocents lives of the baga residents.
Nowhere in the article did the US/UK condemn the murder of security operatives.

Human rights organizations are not in the business of protecting governments or government organizations....if it was an attack on civilians yes they would speak up.....they dont speak up for governments because they have resources to protect them selves: police, army, navy, marines etc etc....and also...in most cases.. they would be speaking up for the same agencies they are fighting against....which could lead to corruption.....and Police killing is generally not a human rights violation....because it could be in self defence
