..May the souls of the departed rest in peace..
*deep sigh* the whole media is buzzing with different versions of the story of 4 young men from uniport who were beaten and burnt to death.I decided not to post nything on this issue until I had gotten my facts right.Different versions have popped from people,blogs and all..even getting which is the real truth is difficult.
On the 5th of october when this killing took place in aluu community, the story was that these guys were unarmed robbers who went to rob from the community..another story cameup saying that they were 5 armed guys and threw away the weapons while trying to escape (1 escaped).it was also said that they robbed a family man and raped his wife..another version was tipsy (ugonna) had an arguement with some guy that blew out of proportion
...And then came the story that they were cultists.
I have tried to be in contact with some close frnds of the guys and although I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS THE TRUTH...this is what I got.
Ugonna (@tipsy_tipsy) and big L (@big_L16) were upcoming talented rappers, I got to listen to one of their tracks and I just went numb,they were talented.
Unconfirmed reports say that the students of uniport have organised a raid on aluu community,I don't know how true but let us be rational on this issue.those young men could not have been reading in school or just strolling by and the villagers would attack.those were angry villagers. I am not saying the wicked manner in which they died was good,but let us not blow things in a way that more lives would be lost. Home training can never be over-emphsised.Only God knows what truly happened.
This is a very sad thing and I pray God grants their families the strenght to bear their loss.
They dint deserve death in that wicked manner :-(
