Police: Why We Couldn't Save The Aluu 4 by Horus(m): 2:20pm On Oct 15, 2012 |
[size=17pt]Police: Why we could not save the Port Harcourt 4[/size] Published on October 15, 2012 Nigeria’s police boss, Mohammed Abubakar has revealed why the police failed to save the four students of the University of Port Harcourt, gruesomely killed by a mob in Aluu, in Rivers state on 5 October. In a statement issued today in Abuja, titled ‘Update ON ON-GOING INVESTIGATIONS ON ALUU KILLING: Rivers State: Murder of Four (4) Students of University of Port-Harcourt:”, the Inspector General of police explained that his men were chased away with stones by the mob attacking the boys. He said when a reinforced team of policemen returned to the scene, the boys had been killed and burnt by the mob.“On 5th October, 2012 at about 0700Hrs, based on a distress call that some armed robbers were arrested at Omukiri-Aluu area in Ikwerre LGA, a patrol team of four Policemen from Isiokpo Divisional Police Headquarters was dispatched to the area, a distance of about 10kms. The Police on getting to the scene met a mob attack on four victims who were supposedly the suspected armed robbers. Attempt made by the Police Patrol Team to take over the suspects were met with stiff opposition from the mob who chased the team with stones. “Consequently, the Patrol Team called for reinforcements, but unfortunately, upon the arrival of the reinforcements, the alleged armed robbery suspects have been stoned and burnt to death, while the mob immediately took to their heels. The corpses were recovered by the Police who by then have been joined by members of the Joint Task Force (JTF).”The students killed were: Ugunna Obuzor- aged 18 Years; 200 Level Geology student; Lloyd Toku- aged 19 Years; 200 Level Civil Engineering student; Tekena Elkanah- aged 20 Years, a Diploma Technical student and Chiadaka Odinga- aged 20 Years, 200 Level Theatre Arts student. [img]http://4.bp..com/-0Qrxmzia3zU/T2IKn4hohBI/AAAAAAAAC8o/D72usgh-nHM/s400/Abubakar_Addressing.jpg[/img] Mohammed Abubakar The Inspector General’s statements only confirmed the criticisms by witnesses that the police simply abandoned the students to their fate when they got to the scene of lynching. A relation of one of the victims actually accused the police of encouraging the mob to kill the boys. However, the IGP was not join issues with critics but went on to outline the efforts the police are making to arrest the culprits. Abubakar said the Police immediately launched an investigation leading to the arrest (based on information) of Alhaji Hassan Welewa, the Traditional Ruler of Omukiri Community, Aluu where the heinous incident took place and eighteen (18) others, some of whom are members of the vigilante group of the community. “Intelligence report implicated Alhaji Hassan Welewa, as being the person who incited the mob to unleash terror on the victims. Further investigation conducted by the police indicates that four (4) suspects, namely: Felemo Solomon; Cynthia Chinwo; Ozioma Abajuo and Chigozie Samuel Evans have been closely linked to this barbarous act. “Findings have revealed that the victims had gone to the area where they met their unfortunate death earlier that morning to demand for money allegedly owed to them by Coxson Lelebori Lucky, alias ‘Bright’, who raised a false alarm that the victims were armed robbers. Although, Coxson has gone underground, Detectives are on his trail. Investigation is ongoing with efforts being intensified to track down others who are involved in the incident. Those who are found culpable shall be prosecuted. Abubakar said the police have in the meantime made a massive deployment of Policemen to the area, including detectives to assist the State Police Command. “Normalcy has been restored in the area, while the situation in the area, especially in the University and other tertiary institutions are being closely monitored with a view to forestalling any untoward reactions. “Efforts are being intensified to establish the motive(s) behind this crime, arrest all who may be directly or indirectly connected with the crime and eventually bring all indicted persons to book. “I wish to use this medium to advice and appeal to Nigerians to see it as their civic obligation in the fight against crime and criminality, to assist security agencies in the discharge of their responsibility. Security is everybody’s responsibility and so, should not be abandoned in the hands of security agencies alone. The maximum cooperation of the public is needed to ensure that Nigeria is safe for all. “Nigerians are further reminded to avoid taking laws into their hands, as two wrongs can never make a right. More so, it is criminal and against the laws of the land and those that do so will surely be made to face the full wrath of the law. “In addition, the IGP appeals to citizens who might have information touching on this and other on-going Police investigation not to hesitate in turning over such information to the Nigeria Police Force. “May I assure Nigerians that the Police Force will do everything legitimate, within its capacity, to ensure that perpetrators of these dastardly acts at Aluu in Rivers State are identified and made to face the law.

thegoodjoehunt: At least this shows that the Officers aren't sleeping on this issue. NPF more grease to your elbows. Let's get these murderers. Now we got the names of four suspects who lynched the students, namely: Felemo Solomon; Cynthia Chinwo; Ozioma Abajuo and Chigozie Samuel Evans. Also Coxson Lelebori Lucky, alias ‘Bright’, the guy who raised a false alarm by saying that the victims were armed robbers. (He is still on the run from the Police). They will never know peace, NEVER. 12 Likes |

Horus: As the true story of this incident unfolds, you get to feel even more sorry for these Boys. My heart aches when I imagine how they felt knowing they were losing their lives for crimes they never committed. This is too sad. What would it have caused these blood thirsty people to listen to them. What would it have caused Bright to let the people know that it was a false alarm. Definitely not the lives of these boys. This is too sad. 7 Likes |

It is either the IGP is lying or the sister of one of the victim,who said the police casually strolled away from the marcabre scene on their own accord and even told the mob to finish them,was lying. He shouldnt forget they were cameras all over the place that recorded most scenes and all that could be scanned to see and hear what actually happened. 5 Likes |

Mobinga: What do you mean?, so just because I said that the lynchers will never know peace I am now not different from the lynchers?. Now notice that Mohammed Abubakar said that Felemo Solomon; Cynthia Chinwo; Ozioma Abajuo and Chigozie Samuel Evans have been closely linked to this barbarous act. This is not my personal conclusion, it is the words of Mohammed Abubakar himself. |

This is a seriously lame excuse to cover up the obvious inefficiency of the Nigerian Police. So the IGP is saying that the police don't have guns anylonger to use in scaring away the mob but they have guns to threaten innocent passersby? It would have been better if he didn't say anything than giving this lame excuse. 7 Likes |
