The Kaduna Sharia Riots: (Death Toll: 2000 - 5000) By now, you may have noticed that ethnic and religious tensions have been the catalysts for some of the deadliest mass killings in Nigerian history so why pride yourself in your religion or tribe , there's no superior bloodline nor tribe . The 2000 Kaduna Riots were instigated by the introduction of Sharia law, and among many such instances, they will go down in a dark place in Nigerian history. Kaduna State is located in the Muslim-majority north, however, in areas like Southern Kaduna, there is a large Christian population. Cumulatively, non-Muslims make up about half of the population. In February 2000, Kaduna's Governor Ahmed Maikarfi announced the introduction of sharia to Kaduna State. In response, the Kaduna branch of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) organised a public protest against it in Kaduna City. Muslim youth, possibly perceiving it as an affront to their religion, clashed with the protesters. And so began, a campaign of violence and destruction. When it became clear that the police could not handle the violence, the army stepped in to intervene. A judicial commission set up by the Kaduna state government reported the official death toll to be 1,295. However, Human Rights Watch estimated the total number to be much higher. Fatalities, including those from March and May and many from February which the commission had not counted, were estimated to be much higher, somewhere between 2,000 and 5,000. If we don't learn from History we are clearly going on another civil war , only thing I see enveloping us from impending civil implosion in Nigeria is the Internet , and even here tribal wars (E-wars) are fought everyday , well it's only a matter of time tbh . Why the self hate or unnecessary kin-hate 1 Like 1 Share

The Asaba Massacre: (Death Toll: Over 700 men and boys) As Fu’ad Lawal writes, Asaba will never forget the events of one of the deadliest days of the Nigerian Civil War. Three months after the first gunshot had signified the start of the Nigerian civil war, Biafran troops marched into Nigeria’s midwest region as they advanced towards Lagos. After reaching as far as Ore, they were repelled by forces under the command of Col. Murtala Mohammed. The Biafran troops marched back to Onitsha in the Eastern heartland, after which they demolished the Niger Bridge, leaving the Nigerian Army stranded on the other side in Asaba. Aggrieved by this abrupt end to their march, the Nigerian soldiers went into Asaba and began checking through homes, accusing the people of sympathising with Biafra In a bid to quell the tensions, the leaders of the town asked the people to come out in a show of support for One Nigeria. Hundreds of men, women, and children, many wearing the ceremonial akwa ocha (white) attire paraded along the main street, singing, dancing, and chanting “One Nigeria.” It did nothing to placate the Nigerian Army. The people were gathered in an open square, men were separated from the women and over 700 boys and men were shot dead.

The 2015 Baga Massacre: (Death Toll: 2,000 - 5,000) For years now, Nigeria’s North-East has become the theatre for a spate of terrorism and insurgency at the hands of the deadly Islamic militant group, Boko Haram. In 2015, the group launched an attack on the town of Baga in Born State, that left thousands dead and hundreds of thousands displaced. On the 3rd of January, a large army of Boko Haram militants ran into Baga and launched an attack on the Nigerian Army Base in the town. The Army Base in Baga was the headquarters of the Multinational Joint Task Force, an international force of soldiers from Nigeria, Niger and Chad which was formed in 1994 to manage security in the border areas and as a matter of necessity, combat the menace of Boko Haram. The group quickly overran the army base and the MNJTF task force headquarters, before setting into the main town and about 16 neighbouring villages. That attack lasted for four days. Soldiers fled after struggling to combat the militants. According to reports of those who fled the town, the group began to burn houses and kill survivors after a few days. On 9 January, a resident described the extent of the damage by reporting, “There is not any single house that is standing there.” According to Musa Bukar, head of the Kukawa Local Government Area, all 16 villages in the LGA were razed as well, and their residents either killed or forced to flee. Estimates state a death toll of over 2000 people over the four days. Over 35,000 people are reported to have been displaced. Many of these died of drowning while trying to cross Lake Chad. Others became trapped on islands in the lake.

2001 Jos Riots: (Death Toll: over 1,000 people) Religious relations in the city of Jos have always been in a delicate state, between the predominantly-Muslim north and the south, with a majority Christian position. Due to these clear distinction in geography and demography, the population on either side is fairly unreceptive towards foreigners who come to take jobs, settle or occupy major positions. In 2001, the Federal Government appointed a Hausa Muslim politician, Alhaji Muktar Mohammed as the local head of the Poverty Alleviation Programme. The move was protested by the local Christian population, raising already present tensions to a fever pitch. The spark that was missing came when a Christian woman attempted to cross a street barricaded for Friday prayers, leading to a dispute with the Muslims. The flame was ignited and the fight eventually spread to other areas of the city. Throughout Jos, the violence quickly became intense. Humans and property were set on fire. Persons of either religion attacked places of worship and set them on fire, killing worshippers. After over a week of murder and destruction, the army stepped in. By then, over 1,000 people had been killed. The number of bodies was so much that mass burials had to be arranged.’ The riots displaced over 50,000 people.

It is why when we hear reports of mass murder, like Nikolas Cruz’ murder of 17 students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida in the US state of Miami, we are often shocked. It is so easy to overlook when one does not know that this is a reality that we have lived, albeit in a different form, in the past, and more recently that we would permit ourselves to admit. Here are 5 of the deadliest mass killings in Nigerian history, for those who wish to remember that death has always been a part of our history. 1. Odi Massacre: (Death Toll: 43–2,500) On November 20, 1999, soldiers of the Nigerian army clashed with local militias and civilians in Odi, a town with a predominantly Ijaw population, in Bayelsa State. The clash came against the backdrop of ongoing conflicts by the people of the Niger-Delta and their rights to the proceeds of their region’s oil wealth. In the weeks before, the conflict had taken on a fatal dimension; twelve members of the Nigerian police were murdered by a gang near Odi, seven on November 4 and the remainder in the following days. To quell the conflict, soldiers were sent into the town. It is from here that the accounts of what happened swerve in different directions. The locals claim that the soldiers came into the town and murdered the inhabitants, including hundreds of women and children. The army claims that the soldiers were ambushed on their way to the town. Either way, on entering the town, they became locked in a fierce gun battle with the resident militants. There are claims that the militants used civilians for cover. When the army was finished, every building in the town, except the Anglican church and the local health centre, had been burned to the ground. The government put the death toll at 43, claiming that eight soldiers had been killed. Nnimmo Bassey, Executive Director of Environmental Rights Action, claims that nearly 2500 civilians were killed The massacre happened during the tenure of President Olusegun Obasanjo and till this day, the people of the South-South accuse him of ordering the raid. The Odi massacre left a scar on the residents of that region, and it has been referenced in movies and songs by Timaya and African China

After placing his young female victims on their backs in a terrifying apparatus with stirrups and straps, he would play an audiotape for them, detailing the “instructions” for being his slave. After playing the tape, Ray and a few accomplices, including his daughter and his girlfriend, would torture the victim for days. Based on his diary and the records he kept, police assume Ray killed as many as 50 women this way — but their bodies have never been found. Ray’s operation was uncovered when one victim, Cynthia Vigil, was able to escape. Ray’s girlfriend, Cindy Hendy, had inadvertently left the keys to Vigil’s restraints nearby when she left the room, and Vigil took advantage of the rare lapse in her captors’ attention. She made a run for it, naked and handcuffed, and finally arrived at a neighbor’s residence, urging them to contact the police. Her story led another woman to come forward, one whose memories, though muddled by date-rape drugs, tallied with Cynthia Vigil’s experiences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8545MdQvuFQ

Puente made over $87,000 this way — and used the money to buy herself, among other things, a facelift — before being arrested in 1988. Authorities, searching for a tenant a social worker had reported missing, noticed that it looked like something had been recently buried on Puente’s property. They found seven bodies in Puente’s tiny yard, and she was found guilty on nine counts of murder. She served 18 years in prison before dying in 2011. 1 Like

How could that cute little grandmother harm so much as a fly? By giving it a fatal drug overdose, apparently. Dorothea Puente, a Sacramento landlady known as the Boardinghouse Killer, already had a checkered past when she took over the management of the F Street Boardinghouse. She had been arrested multiple times, once for running a brothel, once for vagrancy, and twice for forging checks. She killed her roommate first, a friend named Ruth Monroe who was staying with her, and police bought her story: Ruth, she said, was depressed and had clearly overdosed on her pain medication. But her next poisoning sent her to jail: the resident she went after realized he’d been drugged and robbed, and he pointed the police straight toward his landlady. In jail, Puente began corresponding with an elderly pensioner. Their friendship turned to romance when they met after her release from prison — but it was tragically one-sided. Puente murdered him, dumped his body, and collected his pension checks for years before his corpse was identified. It was the beginning of a pattern. Puente would identify social outcasts like the elderly, the mentally disabled, and the alcoholic. Then, after murdering them, she would cash their government checks. 1 Like

Andrew Kehoe In 1927, Andrew Kehoe was distraught over his wife’s long, expensive battle with tuberculosis. At the same time, he lost in the town clerk election and his farm faced foreclosure largely because of property taxes levied to repay bonds for the local school. Kehoe was never at his best under pressure. His neighbors would later remember him as short-tempered and impatient, discontent with imperfect systems and quick to dismiss what didn’t work for him. He had stopped attending the local church because he refused to pay dues to the administration, and rumor had it that he had once beaten a horse to death. So when Andrew Kehoe lost the election in 1927 — on top of all his other woes — his neighbors were apprehensive, thinking he might do something desperate. But they never imagined what he had in mind. On the morning of May 18, Kehoe blew up his house, his barn, and the enclosed corpse of his wife, whom he had recently murdered. Almost simultaneously, he detonated 500 pounds of explosives he’d spent months placing underneath the Bath Consolidated School. Then he drove to the school and detonated his shrapnel-filled truck, killing himself and several others. With 45 dead and at least 58 injured all at once, Kehoe isn’t technically a serial killer, but this is still the worst school massacre in American history. 1 Like

PEDRO LOPEZ (personally hate this beast) was born in 1948 into a violent world; his mother, a prostitute, threw him out of her house when he was eight, and he ended up alone in Bogotá. There, he fell victim to the predators of the streets: he was sexually assaulted and molested, and he ran from home to home. Stealing cars sent him to jail at the age of 18, where he would later say he committed his first murders as he took revenge on the inmates who raped him. When he was released, he took the destructive rage that had fueled him behind bars and brought it to bear on the world at large. He moved to Peru and began to kill girls, usually between the ages of nine and twelve, sexually assaulting them just as he had once been assaulted. At one point, he said he was killing three girls a week. In time, he returned to Colombia, then moved on to Ecuador, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake Once, he was nearly caught: A tribal settlement had witnessed his assault on a young girl and they would have executed him but for the intervention of a Christian missionary who encouraged them to go to the police instead. They did, and the police failed: They released Lopez to kill again. Lopez was finally apprehended by the authorities in Ecuador in 1979, at which time he led police to a mass grave containing the bodies of 53 young girls. 1 Like

When he was finally tried in 1999, Garavito confessed to the deaths of 140 children, while some estimates place his total number of victims at more than 300. And he could be up for release in 2021. Because Colombia does not allow life imprisonment, Garavito was sentenced to just 40 years in prison, which was further reduced to 22 after plea deals and rewards for good behavior. Upon release, Garavito plans to run for political office and start a program to help abused children. He is an expert, after all. 1 Like

Luis Alfredo Garavito Luis Alfredo Garavito, perhaps the deadliest serial killer of all time, preyed on young Colombian boys in the 1980s and 1990s His crimes were made possible in part by another tragedy: the casualties and losses of the Colombian civil war. In the years following the conflict, the streets were overrun with homeless children and orphans who eked out a living by picking up odd jobs on the streets. In that climate, Garavito had his choice of victims. He frequently disguised himself as a farmer or a priest and approached boys, usually between the ages of six and sixteen, with a promise of work for cash He then lured them to a remote location and held them prisoner, raping, torturing, and eventually killing his victims. He murdered freely for years, knowing his victims had no one waiting at home to file a police report. It wasn’t until the police began to discover mass graves in 1997 that the Colombian authorities realized they had a serial killer on the loose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So6R-uLN8bI

He’s kind, he’s funny, he’s charming,” Lioy said one year later. “I think he’s a really great person. He’s my best friend; he’s my buddy.” Obviously, most people did not share her feelings. For the countless Californians who lived in terror during the mid-1980s, Ramirez was little better than the Devil he worshiped. “It’s just evil. It’s just pure evil,” said Peter Zazzara, the son of victim Vincent Zazzara, in 2006. “I don’t know why somebody would want to do something like that. To take joy in the way it happened.” Ultimately, Richard Ramirez died of complications from B-cell lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system, in 2013. He was 53 years old. While he was alive, Ramirez never expressed remorse for any of his crimes. In fact, he often appeared to take pleasure in his infamy. “Hey, big deal,” he said, shortly after getting the death sentence. “Death always comes with the territory. I’ll see you in Disneyland.” 2 Likes

When the police tracked down the vehicle, they were able to find just enough of a fingerprint to make a match. By that point, they had already received tips that someone with the last name of Ramirez was involved. Sure enough, the LAPD was able to identify Richard Ramirez thanks to their new computer database of fingerprints. And even though the records only included criminals who were born after January 1960, it just so happened that Ramirez was born in February 1960. Authorities soon found Ramirez’s mugshots from his prior arrests, and one of his surviving victims came forward with a detailed description that was quite similar to the photos. By the end of August 1985, police decided to release the Night Stalker’s image and name. Though they initially worried that this would give Ramirez a chance to escape, it turned out that he was blissfully unaware of his newfound publicity — until it was too late By pure happenstance, Ramirez was traveling back to Los Angeles when his photo was released. So he didn’t realize that he had been tracked down until he was back in the city — and he saw his own face on the newspapers. Though he attempted to flee the police — and tried to steal a car in the process — he was tracked down by a vigilante mob that recognized him. They beat him up until the police finally closed in. After his arrest, Ramirez was found guilty of 13 counts of murder. In addition to the murder charges, authorities also found him responsible for committing several rapes, assaults, and burglaries. Ramirez was sentenced to death in the gas chamber for his crimes — and he smiled in response. The ‘Night Stalker’ later said, “I am beyond good and evil. I will be avenged. Lucifer dwells in us all. That’s it.” He was held in San Quentin State Prison for the rest of his life — but he was never put to death. Due to the complicated nature of his case — which included a 50,000-page trial record — the state’s Supreme Court wasn’t able to hear his appeal until 2006. And even though the court rejected his claims, additional appeals would’ve taken several more years. During this extended delay, Richard Ramirez met a female admirer named Doreen Lioy who had struck up a correspondence with him. And in 1996, he married her while he was on death row. 2 Likes

One of the most terrifying things about Ramirez was that he was willing to kill just about anyone who crossed his path. Unlike some other serial killers who have a “type,” Richard Ramirez murdered both men and women and preyed on victims both young and old. At first, it seemed like Ramirez was only attacking people near Los Angeles, but he soon claimed a couple of victims near San Francisco as well. And since the press dubbed him the “Night Stalker,” it was clear that most of his crimes happened at night — adding yet another scary element. Disturbingly, many of his attacks included a Satanic element as well. In some cases, Ramirez would carve pentagrams into his victims’ bodies. And in other cases, he would force victims to swear their love for Satan. All over California, people went to bed fearing that the Night Stalker would break into their homes while they slept — and perform an unspeakable ritual of rape, torture, and murder. Since he apparently attacked at random, it truly seemed like no one was safe. The LAPD increased their presence on the street and even created a special task force just to find him — with the FBI lending a hand. Meanwhile, the public anxiety was so intense around this time that there was a noticeable surge in the sales of guns, lock installations, burglar alarms, and attack dogs. But ultimately, it was Richard Ramirez’s own mistakes in August 1985 that led to his capture. After he was spotted outside a witness’s home, he accidentally left a footprint behind — and he also left his car and license plate in plain sight. 2 Likes
