@freecocoa
I carefully chose to respond to your post because based on precedence, you seem at least to be a quite civil in responding.
I abhor violence, either physically or verbally, so please don't resort to insult if you choose to respond.

Now my points are thus :

1. You said you were quite disturbed by the whole issue and rightly so, but I pray thee, did you hear about the 2 guys that were lynched for allegedly being bomb trotting boko haram members.
Why was there not an outcry on their behalf? Did they not have parents or siblings? could there not have been a possibility that there were setup ? could it not have been possible that they were attacked because they were not Kano Indigenes ?
Why was it that many people on Nairaland gave Kano Indigenes a thumbs up for defending their community against Boko Haram ?
Was it because those people did not understand english and were not educated, hence they were worthless ? Why was there no police investigation ? Was it because there was no video ? or the Parents of those guys did not have access to the press like in this case ?
The argument am making here are making is that rather than being motivated by a sense of justice, most are actually being moved by emotions, which in itself is not wrong, but when not married with reason can lead to dire consequences as the citizens of ALUU are learning right now.


2. Have you heard of Dogo Nahawa, and Dogo Dawa ? Two communities that were attacked by gunmen in the middle of the night.
In Dogo Nahawa close to 40 lives(2010) were lost while ing Dogo Dawa (2012) about 20 people were allegedly killed.

Have you wondered why till date not one single suspect as been apprehended by the police ? despite the fact that in Dogo Nahawa, the indigenes even managed to obtain the ID card of one of the killers ? Do you know the emotional truama that the entire community will have to live through for decades to come ? Can you guess what will happen in Dogo Nahawa today if a strange gunman is found at night in their community, wether he came to rob or to kill or to recover a debt ?
Did you ever ask why ALUU had a vigilante team in the first place ? have you wondered why mob killings is so rampant in Nigeria and not just ALUU ? Lagos, Benin, Nairaland, everywhere.

I am totally against jungle justice and I abhor every form of violence. Also I am not against your agitations but I believe that there are many angles to this issue and only a holistic approach will put us ahead.

I know I might be attacked for this but the truth is that until the police is seen as effective, adequate and unbiased. Until the general populace are sure that a thief/armed robber will not be released from persecution just because is father is well connected or an indicted murderer will not be winning an election even when in jail. Then am sorry to say, Jungle justice will continue. This are the major issues that I feel we are failing to see in this whole saga

DailyNews:

My dear, I am not in any way supporting those that murdered those guys in cold blood, never will I. I condemned the killing from day 1. But what I am trying to let us know is the fact that because we Nigerians always act too fast based on our immediate feelings, which was the same reason those guys were killed without giving them a fair hearing.

That was y I cited those scenarios. we Nigerians always act too fast based on our immediate feelings. Now everyone want the entire community to be wiped, y? are u saying there is no innocent ALUU indigene? something like this may happen in ur community someday & u end up being condemned while u aren't there. I am not from Rivers, talk less of ALUU.


My concern is that Nigerians love fast condemnation, which is y we have all these jungle justice that always kill the innocent people, we all shou sit back & have a rethink.


Now, talking about murder & sin, we all here are victim of one crime or another & some are even murderers like the ALUU4 killers, maybe not as heinous as theirs, but all of em are sin in the eyes of God Almighty & we all must flee from sin, fast condemnation, etc.


Some have killed people via words, via tongue whining. some have killed via sponsoring abortion & abortion of innocent babies. some have killed via looting public funds, while some have killed via treaks & fraudulent activities. some have killed via giving people wrong advice. so who are we to judge others?


I insist, judgment is only of God to preside. & again we have the authorities out to nab the perpetrators, so I encourage us to stay calm, prayerful & also think about our own ways, so Nigeria can be a better place for all. We cannot achieve a better Nigeria by this fast condemnation without investigations, & this jungle justice.

JOHNBULL4040: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

MY NAME IS JOHNBULL. ONE OF MY COUSINS WAS AMONGST THE FOUR YOUNG MEN GRUESOMELY BURNT ALIVE IN ALUU.

AS GOD IS MY WITNESS, I INTEND TO AVENGE HIS/THEIR DEATHS!

WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE YOUNG MEN IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER THEY COMMITTED A CRIME OR NOT, IS BY EVERY HUMANE STANDARD, VERY DISTURBING AND BEYOND BELIEF.

WHAT THESE ALUU PEOPLE DID TO THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS CLEARLY SUGGEST THAT THEY ARE A VERY SICK COMMUNITY.

FROM THE VIDEO WE ALL WATCHED, NOT EVEN ONE PERSON RAISED A FINGER TO HELP THESE POOR BOYS.

EVEN ANIMALS ARE NOT SLAUGHTERED THIS WAY.

I HAVE ASSEMBLED A 30-MAN SQUAD TO GO INTO THE ALUU COMMUNITY AND MASSACARE EVERYONE IN SIGHT.

I HAVE ALSO INSTRUCTED A SPECIAL TEAM TO FIND AND SHOOT THE VC OF UNIPORT FOR SUPPORTING THE BRUTAL KILLINGS OF THESE BOYS.

I AM ONLY GIVING THIS ADVANCED WARNING TO THE VC OF UNIPORT, AND THE ALUU COMMUNITY, JUST TO TORMENT THEM, THE WAY THEY TORMENTED THESE 4 YOUNG MEN.

I WILL ADVICE THE POLICE AND OTHER SECURITY OUTFITS TO PLEASE STAY OUT OF THE MATTER DURING THE OPERATIONS, THE WAY THEY MADE THEMSELVES UNAVALIABLE DURING THE MURDER.

ANYONE WHO DELIBRATELY INTERFERS, WILL BECOME A LEGITIMATE TARGET BOTH DURING AND AFTER THE OPERATIONS.

FOR THOSE WHO DOUBT THIS WARNING, PLEASE WAIT & SEE!!

My fellow nairalander, note that I am aware that God is the ultimate judge and note also that the pictures and video recordings were part of what was used in arresting these guys as evidence. Let us call a spade a spade/ In this case, there were proofs that they knowingly participated in the murder. This is not a story whereby people who committed the crime were not known. The villagers knew them hence they were able to identify and arrested them for their act. No one is without sin but to murder these children within the age bracket of 20 is the worst thing you can do to these children and their families.

Let us call a spade a spade. The worst thing you can do is to take the lives of youths of any nation because any of them could have ended up leaders of this nation or even other nations of the world.
What the community did was wrong and should be condemned. How can they set someone ablaze?

mikeywise:
what did this one smoke? smh.

thegoodjoehunt: Something still disturbs me about this pic. The names of those paraded show they come from all parts of the country. I don't think a community can allow outsiders commit this kind of atrocious act on their ground. Are the officers saying these are the natives of ALUU community? Or this was done by people living on their land?

Finally two of the faces that did the acts are not here. Well I'll wait for the investigation to go further before drawing my conclusion.

razznaija: Just look at their [wretched] faces, i just hope that anyone that laid a finger on those boys should be at least given the death penalty, but wait, i don't see the thing in the checkered shirt that kept hitting them with a large plank and the other thing that started the false alarm. They should just cut all their arms and legs, cut their nuts off,pluck their eyes out and let them bleed to death, then they should set the corpse on fire till there's nothing left but ashes, sweep the floor and throw all of the crap left in the thrash.

Rossikk:

You sound really sick. What separates you from the barbarism you condemn?
