3 days ago, the Nigerian Army jumped a fence to shoot and kill an innocent Nigerian youth in his room, a serving NYSC youth.
They moped his blood, picked up his brain and called it accidental discharge.
Yesterday, a Nigerian policeman shot and killed a restrained youth who said he was sent to pick up a package. He begged for his life. His only request was justice. All he wanted was justice, but he was murdered by those who should protect and give him justice.
I am so ashamed and infuriated. The Nigerian youths have faced too much in this country. They have been through so much๐.
When would enough be enough?
This young man, Justice Crack, went viral a few days ago for exposing the killing of a 24-year-old NYSC Corper in Abuja, allegedly by men of the Nigerian Military.
Today, he is missing.
What kind of country is this?๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ
Extrajudicial Killing in Effurun
The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian Mr. Mene Ogidi, in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.
Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.
Such acts inflict unimaginable trauma on the bereaved family and deepen public anxiety in an already distressed society. Nigerians are already traumatised by recurring reports of brutal killings by terror organisations across the country, and incidents of this nature - especially when involving state actors - only worsen that psychological burden and erode public confidence in safety and security.
In light of this, while the law must take its full course, I commend the prompt response of the police authorities so far and express confidence that they will pursue this matter to its logical conclusion. Such responsiveness is necessary to reassure the public that justice will not be compromised. I therefore urge the police and all security agencies to sustain this approach by acting with transparency and accountability. Furthermore, recruitment processes must be more rigorous, ensuring that only individuals of sound judgment and the right frame of mind are entrusted with firearms.
In the final analysis, these measures can restore public trust and uphold justice - both of which are indispensable to building a new Nigeria that is possible. -PO

The world can't go silent. Christians are being persecuted in Nigeria right now. Where is the global outrage?
