Kenyans have begun three days of national
mourning and dedicated Easter Sunday
prayer services to the 148 victims of the
recent university massacre by al-Shabab
fighters.
Easter ceremonies across the country
were due to be held in the memory of the
students and security personnel killed in a
country where 80 percent of the
population is Christian, with flags flying at
half-mast.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has declared
three days of national mourning after the
attack in the northeastern town of Garissa,
near the border with Somalia.
In the capital city of Nairobi, one candle
was lit in memory of each victim of the
attack on Garissa University College in a
vigil on Saturday.
After besieging the university on Thursday,
al-Shabab gunmen lined up non-Muslim
students before executing them in the
armed group's bloodiest attack to date.
The attack claimed the lives of 142
students, three police officers and three
soldiers.
'Mindless slaughter'
Kenyatta pledged that the attackers would
face justice for the "mindless slaughter"
and vowed to retaliate in the "severest
way" to the killings.
Five men have been arrested in connection
with the attack.
The massacre was Kenya's deadliest attack
since the 1998 bombing of the US
embassy in Nairobi.
On Saturday, al-Shabab warned of a "long,
gruesome war" unless Kenya withdrew its
troops from Somalia, and threatened
"another bloodbath".
Hours after al-Shabab's warning, police in
Garissa paraded four corpses of the
gunmen piled on top of each other face
down in the back of a pick-up truck
followed by a huge crowd.
Police insisted the grim display was to see
if anyone could identify the assailants, but
some onlookers threw stones at the
bodies as they passed, while others jeered
and shouted at the dead.
Al Jazeera's Catherine Wambua-Soi,
reporting from Garissa, said another
objective of the display was to prove to
Kenyans that the gunmen had indeed
been killed, and to try and build public
confidence in the security forces.
In Nairobi's ethnic Somali district
demonstrators took to the streets
protesting against al-Shabab, echoing
Kenyatta's call for unity in the country.
Kenya has suffered a series of attacks
since 2011 when it sent troops to
neighbouring Somalia to join African
Union forces battling al-Shabab.

Omo 042 no dey carry last for anything. Gbosaa for SULLIVAN .I. CHIME

Pastor Bismark Efe,the eldest son of the
late veteran Nollywood actor,Sam Loco
Efe,who passed on in August 2011,at a
movie location in Owerri,the Imo state
capital,is now one of the big boys in
Benin City,Edo State capital.
The economy and status of the Bible
College lecturer has improved since after
the death and burial of his late actor
father.
Just before the commencement of the
burial of the late Sam Loco which was
attended a galaxy of Nollywood super
stars in the weekend of October
21st-23rd 2011,his eldest son,Pastor
Bismarck Nosa Efe,who used to jump
okada,was seen behind the wheels of a
gold colored Mercedes Benz ML
Jeep,which he also used all through the
burial ceremony.
Many who saw him then thought
someone may have given him the jeep to
enable him do the running around for the
burial ceremony with ease,while others
insinuated that the guy may have helped
himself with the Mercedes Benz ML with
proceeds from the burial funds as it was
reported that some millions of naira rolled
in Edo,Imo and Akwa-Ibom state
government;as well as the rumored
undisclosed amount of money from the
federal government to support the burial
of Sam Loco Efe.
Nearly five months after the burial of the
late thespian in Benin City his place of
origin,his eldest son Bismarck,is still
cruising around with the Mercedes Benz
ML, and this has made a lot of people to
believe that he actually acquired the ML
Jeep for himself.
Moreover,those who knew the late actor’s
son before his father’s burial insist that
his status has improved as he is now one
of the big boys in town,even though he is
not making any noise about it;but it can
be easily noticed in his appearance and
the confidence he now exudes that his
better days are here.
Last weekend Bismarck was spotted
behind the wheel of the gold colored
Mercedes Benz ML,along Ihama
Road,GRA,Benin City,looking calm and
refreshed;an evidence that the young
man has arrived.
It could be recalled that Bismarck Sam
Loco Efe came into lime light during the
preparation for his late father’s burial in
2011,especially during the purpoted crisis
between him and the Segun Arinze led
Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN),over who
takes charge of the burial funds,which
according to reports Bismarck won.
