Kolade Johnson: UNIBEN Alumni Group protest in Benin, demand justice for slain comrade

A group of ex-students of the University of Benin, under the aegis of ‘Concerned UNIBEN Alumni’ took to the streets of Benin City, the Edo State capital, on Wednesday, to register their displeasure over the killing of Mr Kolade Johnson, an alumnus of the University of Benin who was killed by Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) operatives, on Sunday, in Lagos.

The protest kicked-off at the NNPC mega station, Sapele road in Benin city metropolis with members of the group who trooped out in their numbers in solidarity of their slain friend and comrade.

The alumni group barricaded some entrances and connecting junctions in Benin metropolis beginning from their take-off point; Sapele Road, through the Edo State Police Headquarters, with songs of solidarity.

The Spokesman and Convener of the group, Oguche Divine Omale said the protest was to register their grievances in the most peaceful manner over the death of a fellow alumnus, Kolade Johnson, who according to him, was killed due to the recklessness of the SARS operatives.

Omale also noted that the peaceful march was to tell the Nigerian government and the Police that “enough is enough”; stressing that such occurrence would no longer be tolerated in subsequent times even as he demanded for justice for their late friend and comrade, Kola.

Addressing the group on behalf of the Edo State Police Command, DSP Chidi Nwabuzor, the State Police Public Relations Officer, said the incident was a regrettable one, which also saddens the the command.

DSP Nwabuzor also described the act as man’s inhumanity to man.

He told the group that the prosecution process of those involved in the act had begun, and that justice must be served in the end, while pleading with them to exercise equanimity.

President Muhammadu Buhari had also reacted on Kolade’s death on Wednesday, reassuring Nigerians how much his administration prioritizes the life of every Nigerian.

The President also extended his condolences to the family of the deceased with strong assurance that all those involved in the act would be brought to book.

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Zubairu Muazu, had on Tuesday, paid a condolence visit to the family of the deceased; assuring them that justice would prevail at the end of the day.

Kolade Johnson, until his death was an aspiring music star. He graduated from the department of Business Administration, University of Benin in 2013.

Having spent about five years in South Africa, he returned in 2017 due to the xenophobic attack in the country to pursue his music career at home in Nigeria.

Shameful the killers must bring him back or they will loose their own lives too.

Secondary school dropout killed a graduate with dreams. May the life of every successful young man in that SARS officer’s family be cut short the way he ended Kola’s life.

Ameeeeen. It MUST come to pass that they will suffer and die painfully and we demand public execution for those officers. No jail term should be acceptable by Nigerians. Nigerians demands outright death on those criminals.

I pity your ignorance and lack of understanding of the basic things of life. No man has the right to take life like what those SARS officers did.The victim is well educated and those demanding for justice for their deceased friend are well educated and here you are with lack of knowledge as a result of primitive life of yours, couldn't comprehend the reasons for those youths demand for justice.

May you be their next victim.

Okay
