A security official drove into a procession of Christian youth, celebrating Easter, killing at least eight people on Sunday night. The survivors among the youth then chased the security official and his passenger, caught up with them and lynched them.

The incident happened in Alheri junction, Biu road of Gombe State. The driver of the vehicle is said to be an official of the civil defence (NSCDC) while his passenger is said to be a police officer. Both men died from the beating.

Chairman of the Gombe State Battalion Brigade of the Boys Brigade, Isaac Kwadang, told reporters that he received information about the incident around 11:30 p.m. on Sunday. According to him, the civil defence officer, though not on official duty, met the procession, exchanged words with the youth, and drove past them. He allegedly switched off his car’s full lights, reversed the vehicle and rammed into the procession killing eight people on the spot.

Many of the victims are members of the boys brigade. Kwadang said the youth chased the security officers, caught up with them and mobbed them to death. He said the youth are still being prevailed on not to continue with any violent reaction.

The Chief Medical Director of the Gombe State Specialist Hospital, Shuaibu Muazu, confirmed that some dead bodies from the incident have been deposited in the hospital while the Sector Commander of Federal Road Safety Corps, Godwin Omuko, confirmed the incident to journalists. He said his men were among those that brought the dead bodies to the hospital.

This "do you no me" mentality of Nigerian security personels must stop for us to move forwards as a nation.

I'm tired of Nigeria.

I am just trying to paint a picture of what might have happened.
Obviously, the security officials are blocked by the procession, they aggressively asked to move away, they are met with strong opposition to their request and then in their trademark characteristics to always show that people should bow down at the sound of their voice, they decided to do a show of force by ramming into them. The boys on their own part must have dared them too and called them bluff when threatened.
All these happenings is because we have entrusted our security in the hands of frustrated , never-do-well individuals who whenever you disagree with them, they see it as you are looking down on them because they were good at anything they did. It is said it is those with low self-esteem that derives joy humiliating others.
When one of my street boys made it to the police force about 5 years ago, that was when i knew our security is in danger so when i see all these things happening i am not surprised. They see a young guy who has made money, their low self esteem frustrated being is tickled. #Endsars won't stop the brutality too. We need an overhaul of the security system. A competence test for all of them and those who fail to scale through is thrown away just like el-rufai did with his state teachers.

Sorry Rest In Peace to the youth and no peaceful rest for the officers. The youth did not finished the business they should have roast them.like suya for killing innocent youths enjoying their lives.

Humans have a limit

Push it and be ready for whatever you get

they were lynched because they drove over the youths doing the celebration not because they were security officers.



RIP to the dead
