Okija_juju: [b]WHERE ARE THOSE SUPERMEN IN THE HOUSE.. I dont believe the part of her saying a policeman said they should be burnt alive, however, here are things you should note in the story;

1. She saw a mob lynching a person, she said nothing at first until she realised that it was one of her own..

2. The mob told her to run for her life.. meaning anyone who intervened would also have been kiled.

3. I remember overhearing someone in the video say 'You just pay your school fees yesterday come here dey thief'. Now that means that she was indeed there and was prolly the one who told them about the school fees matter.

4. If it were another person, she would have simply watched like everyone and did nothing.

5. From her statement, its obvious that she didnt even try to persude the supposed police that it was her brother and that they shoudl rescue him.. She was simply gripped with fear..

6. She was there, but didnt feature in the video.. NOBODY BORN YOU WELL TO KILL MY FAMILY RELATIVE FOR MY FRONT... I would be front and center making and causing a scene..

Okija Juju your analysis is spot on but She should assist in identifying the people involved especially that BEAST that was smashing their skuls with a heavy plank since from your observation of the video the BEAST in question was asking one of the victims about his School fees as he was hoisting tyre on their necks. From all visual and oral accounts the Nigerian Police Force and Government generally cannot call this matter "CASE CLOSED" by sweeping it under the carpet.

CrazyMan:
That's not an excuse.

I cannot watch you murder my brother before my eyes. She also should be blamed.

I would agree with okija_juju...


If she had created a scene, she might have saved them.

la furia: please tell me how do you want her to convince the mob that her brother is innocent. when the father of one of the victim says his wasnt a theif, a couple of people here says the father doesnt know his soon. i just want know HOW she could convice a crowd that already belief the boys were theives. whatever she does will be seen as just a blood relative attempt to rescue her brother. and beside the mob were illitrate.
if she shouts and goes naked or mad, people wud look and say eyya na the sister dey cry or don go mad b dat.
tell me just a fight in ur locality, how do u separate a fight.
if u have ever stop a mob beating, we would like to know how you did it. pple would learn..

Super1759: that's the point. She didn't go extra length. There is a way she will present her self and she will get backups.

CrazyMan:
Let's stick to the topic.

The sister said the police told the mob to lynch her brother...from what you're saying, and from what you read, its obvious that her story is false.

This has nothing to do with me having an encounter with them (police).

She lied period!

ghettodreamz: See judgement Have you forgotten she was but a lady? What scene would you have expected her to create in the face of ireful mobs who so desire to kill their fellow humans? Please try to be realistic here and stop following another man's flow.

xtrafly: As much as I feel pity for this babe, I'm very disappointed. A final year student of uniport watched them burn her brother alive?! Babe you don carry last. Were you scared or what? The whole thing lasted for over an hour and you did nothing! You'll forever live with the guilt that you didn't do enough to save your brother... I'm sure he would've done better for you.

CrazyMan:
Its not about following another man's flow, its about doing what is right.

This is human life we're talking about not animals.

What kind of fear would make you watch in silence while your blood brother is being murdered like an animal?

I think its you who ought to get realistic here.

tpia@:


there are various stories about people who stopped a mob beating at great risk to themselves. Not something that's easy. And the police are the ones who have the basic responsibility in such situations, apart from the various home training received in different kinds of homes.

the woman shouting "die "die", for example, will definitely raise her child to be a cold blooded killer with no human feeling.

there was a link i posted earlier with a story of how someone saw a thief being pursued by a mob, accuse a bystander of being the thief, just in order to get away quickly. The mob turned on the bystander and nearly beat him to death. They were about to roast him (for food?) when an old woman who lived in the vicinity, came out and begged for his life.

he was spared within inches of his life.
they spared him because of an old woman they respect.

freecocoa: I understand your point but people are different, Do you know that my cousin collapsed one time( she and I were home alone), the shock of what happened didn't even let me remember I own a phone to call for help, I just held her crying, fanning her with my hand, shouting at the top of my voice, calling jesus, God, angels and what have you, I would stand up to run outside only to end up back in the room, many things were running through my mind like if I left her in the room I'd not see her again, I was really confused, if not that my screams attracted our gateman who was outside the gate and he called for help, only God knows what would have happened, please don't underestimate shock, fear and other emotions, it can drive you nuts.

oubi:

Whn dealing wit mobs, females have mor imunity dan males. She wuld ђa√ع made a difference if she had created a scene.

freecocoa: She saying the police asked them to burn the boys alive doesn't mean they brought the idea, the boys were about being burnt and the police agreed with the crowd that they be burnt, its that simple.

Super1759: you have a point, but thinking further,from the story,she was with a friend.atleast,the friend knows her as well as brother.at this point,the friend would have helped matter.don't tell me that is the girl and her friend were crying and holding on the police to intervene or even the mob, something should have been better.
They girls have already accepted the story and can't do anything.am sure if they had known the details of the gist on time.the case would have been lighter

CrazyMan:
Do you have any proof?

I gave up believing stories from this incident because each story counters the next one.

First the story was that they were caught around 3am in the morning. Then it became 5am.

Then another story claimed that they went to collect money from someone who owed them...

The story contradicted itself when it claimed that the (the students) were cultists.

As time passed by, the government and the senate became interested in the matter...the cultisim issue was dropped.

The students began to protest (one would wonder what took them so long)

The story took another shape. People said they were innocent, people said they were guilty (we're yet to find the exact truth)

The families and sympathizers started looking for people to blame. They blamed the village chief for supporting the execution (I would agree with them...the chief should be arrested)

They blamed the police for not responding quickly, later they said they were there but had no bullets in their guns.

Now they're saying the police gave them (the villagers) the go ahead on the lynching of the students.

I believe we're adults, and I believe we all want justice for the slain students.

But dragging the name of the police force who are working tirelessly to ensure that they (the dead students) get justice isn't the right way to go about it.
