No proof of that. A murder does not have a time limit to when it can be visited. The facts can be investigated and the accused freed of all charges even in his death. The innocent deserve justice even in their graves.

The date is Wednesday, April 12 1972.


I stumbled upon this Footage of the execution by firing squad of a man convicted of armed robbery in Nigeria. The execution took place at Victoria Island's Bar Beach in Lagos.

Footage of this execution was used in Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1975 film, "The Passenger", which starred Jack Nicholson as a television journalist traveling in Africa. The scene was fictionalised as the execution of a political leader.

The years we have justice..... Now, murderers are kept in cells, going for years of trials and later released .....

he was not into drugs. According to what he was saying. His father in law framed him up and that Stella should be given to whoever they want

You can imagine some mothers that would say to their children who probably stole a piece of meat from the pot of soup that, ‘one day they will tie you to the drums’
Curse taken too far

Every execution always draw public sympathy. ..cos we are human...but the law must be implemented. As at that time crime was minimal cos death warrants are signed. Our governors are reluctant to sign cos they don't want blood on their hands but they loot the masses dry....their action is even more than what the robbers do...
Shameless coward governors.....many bloods are OK their hands, innocent people die on bad roads, insecurities, poor facilities and health care system....useless hypocrites

4 million armed and pen robbers should be lined up as soon as possible.
Insecurity will grow until the do the right things.

This video brings back great nostalgia of the public executions of the military years.
Apologies to the Indomie and Minimie generation who would never relate to this.

For us, it was an act of patriotism to watch our country being rid of people who were against it's greatness.

We watched in keenness.
From watching them marched out of the Black Maria, to being prepared at the stake of drums, then having their last words taken and final prayers given.
Some took their coming doom in good faith while others cried like babies before the volleys of bullet from the soldiers shut their mouths up for them.

I always looked forward to going to Coal camp in Enugu back in the days to watch those live executions.
I was so passionate that I remember not eating for two days just because I missed that of Mamman Vasta.

In retrospect,
It wasn't about a patriotism, I was just becoming a psycho
How I burst into a paroxysm of laughter at the end of this rambling is proof that lovers of humor are not immune from your earthy sense of it.

This should be the punishment for all kidnappers, and they should be shot in the head. Death to all kidnappers and ritualists.

They said he was a robber you said drugs, were you there? Were you born then? These trigger happy fools are mostly cowards.

These forms of executions are no longer common in 9ja. It's mostly extrajudicial killings that is prevalent these days

Na wa o. But I am sure those police men that shot him dead are dead by now too. If u ask them they will say they were doing their Job. What a Job! Nobody lives forever.

Who is that Francis Ojukwu?
This case may be one out of millions of executed innocent people whose blood have been constantly speaking against Nigeria.
To me, this man was innocent.
RIP GENTLEMAN!

Next time please acknowledge Adeyinka Makinde, the person who posted the original video you "stumbled " on. Plagiarism exists in different forms.

For what?

Mtcheeeeewwww

We used to watch live then.

The soldiers would wear masks so that nobody could identify them.

Trust me, if this country isn't rid of criminals, you won't be alive typing on Nairaland today.
So this country is rid of criminals?

How about those that have stolen your future and that of your children?

Have you been cured of your mental disorder?
It seems the disorder is degenerating and deteriorating by the day. You are now a full blown MAD MAN.
