#burataigate: Massacre Of Innocent Nigerians Haunting Buratai by Elbinawi: 10:30am On Jun 29, 2016
The Blood Of Over 1,000 Murdered Innocents Is After General Buratai, Not Boko Haram

By Intersociety - Jun 29, 2016

Personal Greed & Spiritual Forces Of Over 1000 Murdered Innocent Nigerians Behind COAS, Tukur Buratai Ordeal; Not Boko Haram Terrorism

The attention of leadership of International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law (Intersociety) is drawn to unfolding circumstances trailing the criminal enrichment and illicit acquisition and ownership of multi-billion naira foreign house properties and local industrial farm by the embattled Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Turkur Buratai (a.k.a. Buratai De Butcher).

Our attention is also drawn to latest claims by the embattled COAS, to the effect that “ Boko Haram Cyber Terrorists and those jealous of his “successes” against Boko Haram insurgency in the Northeast are behind his present ordeal”. The claims are totally fallacious and untrue. The truth is that the COAS, Lt Gen Turkur Buratai (a.k.a. Buratai De Butcher) is roundly haunted by personal greed and spiritual forces of over 1000 unarmed, defenseless and innocent citizens massacred under his operational and vicarious watch and directives.
We wish to recall that the authorities of Sahara Reporters had on 24 of June 2016, released a damning report, heavily indicting the serving COAS (Turkur Buratai) over his acquisition and ownership of multi-billion naira properties while still serving as Nigeria’s COAS. The extensively investigated report with pictures, dates, time, locations and other documentary statistics, was released by the authorities of Sahara Reporters after wide consultations with their legal department on the true position of the law and military convention as they concern the legality or otherwise of a serving military officer in Nigeria acquiring and owning choice house properties in overseas as well as industrial farms in choice areas like Nasarawa State-Abuja axis. On 28 of June 2016, the authorities of Sahara Reporters updated their report with more documentary details on how and when Lt Gen Turkur Buratai paid for and took over his Dubai house properties. The updated report also exposed the COAS industrial and multi-billion naira farm located on Keffi-Abuja Expressway. The most striking of it all was that the Dubai properties were purchased through proxies and the COAS chief employer (Federal Government) was never informed officially of same till date; thereby expressly establishing the two fundamental elements of crime: actus reus (guilty act) and mens rea (guilty mind or intent).

Since then, strong attempts have been made and are still being made by the office of the COAS, the Nigerian Army, the Ministry of Defense and the Federal Government to cover up the report and sweep it under the carpet. Some “human rights” activists and lawyers have also been hired, compromised and paid to organize press conferences and feature in arranged television and radio programs for the purpose of watering down the report and sweeping it under the carpet. Some of them have also been hired to write rebuttal for government hired public relations consultants. One of such rebuttals is presently in circulation under “PRNigeria”, in which the COAS was said to have been investigated and cleared by the Federal Government within 24hours. The latest cover up statement circulated by the referenced, claimed that the COAS breaches no law because “he acquired the Dubai properties as a share holder” and that “he is entitled to own a farm as a serving army officer, which he did since he was a major”.

The COAS had earlier authorized the Nigerian Army to issue a statement where he claimed that “he bought his Dubai properties through his personal savings”. The Ministry of Defense on its part said “the COAS is not criminally and morally culpable because he included the Dubai properties in his Asset Declaration Forms and had declared same more than one to the Army and the Code of Conduct”. The COAS also added more salt to the wound by attempting to whip up “Boko Haram sentiments” as the reason for his present ordeal. He had specifically claimed that his ordeal came as a result of his “successes against Boko Haram terrorism in the Northeast” and that “he is under serious attacks by Boko Haram cyber terrorists” (vivid reference to the authorities of Sahara Reporters and other critical online and social media). As laughable, contradictory and empty as the above defenses are, we are not surprised a bit over same.

The above defenses, to say the least, are fallacious, vexatious, concocted, contradictory, watery, un-legalistic, un-argumentative, immoral, shameless, irresponsible, rotten, unscientific, unverifiable and untenable. The truth is that the COAS is being haunted by souls and blood of over 1000 innocent citizens he vicariously and operationally massacred, in conspiracy with his Commander-in-Chief and Nigeria’s most violent civil president as well as the third butcher-in-chief, retired IGP Solomon Arase. By the combined butchery efforts and roles of the trio and their sub-commanders, over 1000 unarmed, nonviolent, defenseless and innocent citizens, including over 700 Shiite Muslim faithful and over 200 Pro Biafra agitators, were massacred with reckless abandon under a period of nine months. The COAS attracted the wrath of spiritual avengers , rioting and revolting from the cosmic world when he literally abandoned the code of conduct and rules of engagement guiding modern act of soldiering and chose to become a butcher and murderer as well as serial ethnic hater and cleanser in uniform.

Why The Souls & Spirits Of Murdered Innocent Nigerians Rose Against COAS, Turkur Buratai: Under his operational and vicarious directives, unarmed and defenseless citizens were massacred in broad day light and their corpses abducted and unceremoniously buried in secret graves. Under the COAS operational and vicarious directives, in conspiracy with his violent Commander-in-Commander and the murderous ex IGP, Solomon Arase, bodies of dozens of those they massacred and murdered were dumped in burrow pits and when alarms were raised by rights groups, they sent their agents to set them ablaze. Under the operational and vicarious directives of the COAS and Co, over 90 bodies of massacred Igbo/Biafra Heroes Day celebrants, onlookers and passersby were abominably buried in secret mass graves inside Onitsha Army Barracks. As we write, over 15 dead bodies of the Asaba spillover massacre of 30 of May 2016 conducted by Buratai’s soldiers and Arase’s police officers are still dumped at the Asaba Federal Medical Center mortuaries with a firm instruction from the Buhari administration not to release them to their families till date.

Under his operational and vicarious directives, in conspiracy with others, five of 12 unarmed jubilant citizens, massacred by soldiers on 17 of December 2015, were abducted and later dumped at the Onitsha General Hospital, where three of them were later discovered and recovered by their families. Under the COAS operational and vicarious directives, the wounded, receiving emergency medical attentions in various clinics, were abducted by soldiers and many of them made to disappear violently till date.

Under the operational and direct directive of the COAS, over 700 unarmed and innocent Shiite Muslim faithful, exercising their constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of worship and conscience, were massacred in his presence and under his watch. He further ordered his subordinates to “finish up” the rest, leading to violent invasion of the sect headquarters, killing of others and abduction of the rest to his army headquarters where they were murdered in cold blood and unceremoniously buried in droves in criminal mass graves. Instances are too many to be mentioned.

Totality of the foregoing starkly constitutes the collective angers and wrath of the spiritual avengers, who were untimely, violently and abominably massacred by Lt Gen Turkur Buratai and Company. The violent killings under reference and genocidal treatments meted out to the wounded are universally abominable and abhorred under the international humanitarian and human rights laws and the UN system. Lt Gen Turkur Buratai as a key participant in the past international peace operations or peace missions should tell Nigerians and members of the international community where it is heard that the wounded combatants in armed conflict are abducted from the hospital beds by peacekeeping soldiers, denied medical treatments and murdered in cold blood, not to talk of wounded non-combatants or wounded unarmed civilians in peacetime. The COAS should also inform all and sundry if in the course of his participation or commandeering roles in his past international peace missions, he has witnessed, participated or supervised the setting ablaze of murdered corpses of innocent citizens dumped in burrow pits.

A President's convoy was stoned and booed in the north while campaigning ,yet he left the place with no drama while the convoy of the Chief of Army Staff ran into a procession of Shiites and he asked his men to open fire on the helpless citizens.
And you tell me the spirits of those he killed won't hunt him? undecided
