COSEYL’s President, Goodluck Item, spoke
in a statement to newsmen in Owerri
while reacting to the outcome of the
Yoruba Nation rally.
The group termed it as ruthless and
should not be seen in a democratic
government.

They said: “The Coalition of South East
Youth Leaders, COSEYL, the apex socio-
political youth group in the South-East
geopolitical zone condemns in strongest
terms the ruthless shootings against
unarmed protesters by the Nigerian police
and other security agents in Yoruba
Nation Rally in Ojota Lagos State that led
to the untimely death of a 14-year-old
hawker by name Jumoke, a yoghurt seller
who came out to hawk her goods in other
help her parents feed her family.

“It is no longer news that so many
families are going to bed on daily basis
hungry as a result of the harsh economic
policies that made things so difficult for
Nigerians. Most families can hardly boost
just one meal a day. People are secretly
dying because of excessive hunger and
starvation in the country.

“The only democracy dividends in Nigeria
today are hungry, starvation, killings by
murderous Fulani herdsmen/terrorists,
massacre by Boko Haram terrorists and
ISWAP and food shortage brought by the
activities of the terrorists who make it
very difficult for farmers who escape
been killing by murderous Fulani
herdsmen to go to the farm.

“Peaceful protest which is a fundamental
human right of all citizens is not allowed
in a supposed democratic government.
This is the first government since our
return to democratic rule in 1999 that
punish Nigerians with death for
protesting peacefully. Nigeria has gone
back to the dark days worst than Abacha
military junta.”

“A poor girl who is not supposed to be
hawking if the government is doing well
has been sent to her untimely grave, what
a tragedy! It is very sad that the federal
government now send security agents to
kill poor Nigerians who manage to escape
death at the hands of murderous Fulani
herdsmen/terrorists, adverse economic
policies and high-level corruption.
Nigerians are really in trouble. We
demand an independent investigation
into the killing of Jumoke who was killed
by security agents and her killers brought
to justice,” COSEYL said.

These ones no go face wetin they happen home oo.. I'm surprised there isn't any report yet on the murder of a Traditional ruler in mbaise last week

May her soul rest in perfect peace

Those policemen will also cry over their children, am not cursing them I just want them to know

Why not condemn all the killings going on in Alaigbo first and stop deceiving yourselves with this fake sympathy.

People are seriously pretending and feigning a lot of things in this country. Making sympathetic statements in search of impossible alliance instead of facing reality!

Nigerians are not qualified to attend a class where democracy is the theme of the lecture talk less practice the system of government. It is very shameful moronic dingbats are allowed to make mockery of the system of government.
