Buhari's Abeokuta Approach To Unarmed Civil Protest by MossadAgent: 3:48pm On Aug 05, 2019
Buhari was personally congratulated and rewarded by Tafa Belewa after he (Buhari) successfully disbursed a crowd of protester clamouring against Awolowo's conviction for Treasonable felony.

Buhari had ordered his mostly northern troops from Abeokuta garrison to open fire at unarmed protesters, killing dozens of unarmed civilians.

This was the first recorded use of deadly force to quell protesters in post Colonial Nigeria.

Buhari never faced any inquiry or criminal investigation but would rather be congratulated and penciled down for promotion.

This is why Buhari sees unwarranted use of deadly force as a panacea to addressing civil protest. So it came to me as no surprise that the vicious and deadly clampdown of IMN and IPOB protesters where given the Abeokuta treatment.

Sowore himself knew all these things.

They voted Buharri so they can stop Jonathan from helping Igbos grin

Now see the heavy jungle we are roaming inside with no hope of redemption.
