IZU'S BURIALS: PARENTS, 3SC, IJAW CONGRESS, NANPF CALL FOR JUSTICE

The remains of footballer, Joseph Izu, was laid to rest at his hometown in Okarki village in Rivers State today December 3rd. 

The grieving parents of the slain Shooting Stars defender, Izu Joseph, Mr & Mrs George Joseph, have joined others to call on the Federal Government to bring the killers of their son to books.The calls came shortly after the burial rites of the player whose life was cut short by the bullets of armed security personnel in Okarki area of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on 16th, October, 2016.

It was indeed a free flow of tears, wailings and teeth gnashing when the body arrived at the burial site and a complete shut down of activities on all the streets passed by the long convoy.In his sermon by the grave side, Rev.Father John said everyone comes from dust and to dust we shall return! He admonished people to live Lord dominated life with total dedication, reminding everyone to brace up as death would come unannounced.He later prayed to God to hold the family together at this time of grief.


Reacting shortly after the interment, Shooting Stars' Akinwumi Akinyele described Izu Joseph as a committed player who is already being missed by the club.He called on the appropriate authority to act fast at bringing the killers to justice.Also, toeing the same line was the General Secretary of the Ijaw National Congress, Victor Butubo who believes the Federal Government should not turn deaf ears as Izu's killing is already a dent on its image.


Responding few minutes later in his residence, Pa George Joseph said he is only interested in getting justice for his son but frown at perceived lopsidedness in the posting of security personnel to Niger Delta areas!

"I only need justice for my son.And I should say this too, the policy of posting particular ethnic group in the Army to Niger Delta is not good for the unity of the country", he concludes.

The burial events attracted people from all walks of life.Izu Reuben Joseph, 24 is survived by wife, a daughter, parents and siblings!

It still bothers me that he was killed in the mist of cultist. One wonders what a star player is doing at the wrong place. Rest in peace if you re clean.

That particular Soldier that pulled the trigger that cut shot this player's life shall be caught by Boko Haram and mercilessly killed. A responsible government would ensure that the trigger-happy fool that killed this guy is brought to justice as a detterent to some other wicked souls like him. But then,this is Nigeria where justice has since died and buried!

Rest in peace Izu.

Guns, they can not manufacture, yet they import arms just to kill their fellow citizens. I ask Nigerians to take inventory of the number of bullets that the Nigerian govt imports and be very careful, cos each of those bullets will be used against fellow Nigerians. There is no external aggression. This is not a country at all. Just a nationwide settlement of tribal nations.

Izu Joseph is a typical example of what Nigeria is today. Police and military extra-judiciary killings nationwide. If not that the late footballer have achieved some level of popularity as a player and the social media, He would have been framed a militant by the authorities. I thought the military always have rules of engagement but not so in Nigeria. I am sure that with all this noise about the killing, the government of Nigeria did not send anybody to the family.

This is so tragic.

Ignorance and jealousy continue to be the bane of our society.
Just why would the soldiers shoot to kill?

Anyway, the grave pic looks repulsive to me...dont know why the OP had to post it.

Everyday a star is born, and another one just bit the dust. For the men that cut this life short, "the uniform will not save u from karma".
