The Nigerian Youths Assembly (NYA) has asked the Federal Government to relieve the Media Director of the Department of Security Service (DSS), Mrs. Marilyn Ogar of her job or face an unusual public protest by the Nigerian Youths next week.
The demand was chief among four others marshalled out by the group as a panacea for peace.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja, the National Chairman of the Assembly, Comrade Nurudeen Mustapha said that Ogar goofed in her first statement to the world concerning the shooting that saw 7 persons dead.


He said that such unprofessional error smacked a feeling of compromise on the part of Ogar.
Mustapha hinted that it was in the light of acceptance of these conditions at a meeting with Representatives of Federal Government from the Federal Capital Territory Administration that the Assembly deferred it planned protest on Wednesday.
He said: “these are the conditions that we have set for the government to fulfill so that the Nigerian Youths will not go to the street come next week.
”Marilyn Ogar must be sacked. We believe that her stand on the issue was compromised because immediately after the incident she said these people were Boko Haram members. The first thing she would have done was to investigate the issue. She defended those people that perpetrated the act. With that she has taken sides.
”At the same time,we want the family of the deceased to be compensated adequately and we want the government to provide the bodies of all the squatters be it dead or alive.
”There must be an Independent probe panel consisting of the National Human Rights Commission and Human Rights Activists that would ensure that the perpetrators of Apo Massacre are exposed and punished.”
”They must ensure that those that perpetrated the act are punished according to the law and there should not be any sacred cows. All that are involved be it the security agents and the owner of the building must be punished.
”We want them to ensure adequate protection of lives and property of all Nigerians and we do not want any harassment whatsoever from any security agents towards Nigerians which has been the daily tradition amongst security agents who exploit Nigerians. We want it to stop immediately and security must not be politicized henceforth.
According to the President, failure to heed the demands will prompt a massive protest by over One Million Nigerian Youth to the National Assembly in Abuja.

okosodo: Must all northern muslims support terrorism with style?

obyrich: Why didn't you mobilise to protest the previous 'Apo six' that involved igbo businessmen? Please remove Nigeria from the name of your organisation and replace it with 'Northern'. You are clearly fighting an ethnic agenda.

fiscalcliff:
Are you this daft?
Many impartial commentators have posited those 7 chaps were homeless labourers killed extra judicially
There is even talk of a probe by the National Assembly
Is every northerner now a terrorist?

andyanders:

The ONLY way is for the government to first deal with the innocent Ibo youths killed by police arm robbers, known as Nigeria Police Officers.
Until that issue is visited and the actors dealt with, no youth of this country will fight for this. hen it happened to the Ibo youths, nothing was done and the parents of these children were left to mourn their children without the Federal Government doing anything.

mu2sa2: I know hypocrites will label NYA's stance as politics. But they are doing a great job - championing the cause of the poor,defenceless, homeless, innocent guys mercilessly gunned down by the combined force of heavily-armed SSS+soldiers. Everyone knows that in FCT, Lagos and other cities in Nigeria poor people who cannot afford rented accommodation occupy uncompleted or vacant buildings. According to reports the building in question is used by a large number of people - just to pass the night and in the morning they leave to do their menial jobs in town. It is very easy to send detectives to the place. But our trigger happy security forces just went there and killed these people just because they are poor. The convenient excuse these days for state murder is to label the victim a boko haram! Let Gej not sweep this cold-blood murders under the carpet as usual. Kudos to the courageous NYA.

kerzakov25:
those so called laborers wud pick up daggers if there is chaos in d city to kill innocent people. it happened in kaduna, sokoto, kano, and if given d opportunity they will do d same in abuja. sss- get rid of all of them before they get rid of innocent lives

kokoA: I am trying real hard not to call you names.! DSS stormed an uncompleted building killing innocent people. The only offence those guys committed was being homeless abokis! This issue must be properly investigated.

fiscalcliff:
So you kill someone because HE MIGHT not HE HAS committed a crime
And how come you believe it is only Northerners who can kill people during a breakdown of law and order
The lunacy that pervades Nairaland now is baffling and benumbing

kerzakov25:

if he is rili championing d cause of the poor, defenceless and homeless, then he is doing it in d wrong city. let him move his headquarters to borno state and pitch his his tent. in as much as destitutes live in uncompleted buildings in oda part of the country, they do not constitute an immediate threat to d society like d abokis. And u been an aboki wud see nothing wrong with the threat they pose becos u are a threat to the society urself

mu2sa2: So every poor guy is a security risk and should be exterminated? What of your people who are armed robbers, kidnappers and ritualists - security forces should exterminate all of your people because they are criminal and security risk? You go out on sundays to waste your time- you dont know God, just pretending to worship Him.
