Godogodo killings, unforgivable crime—Sen Laah


KADUNA—Senator Danjuma Laah, (PDP, Kaduna South), has described as unforgivable the invasion of Godogodo in Southern Kaduna last weekend by herdsmen, who allegedly killed 20 persons and injured scores of others. 

 The death toll in the Saturday and Sunday attacks rose to 40 Monday, as residents have abandoned the community located in Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State. Senator Laah, who was surrounded by beleaguered survivors and stern-looking soldiers and policemen, lamented that relevant authorities have refused to give the soldiers and police stationed in the semi-urban town enough men and equipment, welfare and other incentives to motivate them to bring out their best. Laah, who arrived Godogodo at 8a.m., Monday, inspected the carnage and later addressed the mourning crowd. He said: “I heard what has been happening since last Saturday evening, but I was stopped from rushing down here. “I want to say that what I have seen here is a huge crime. It is an unforgivable crime against the people of Godogodo, Southern Kaduna and humanity. “No group of persons must be allowed to escape with this impunity. My heart bleeds for you and I shall take it upon myself to ensure that the relevant Senate Committee does the needful to bring peace, succour and justice to the people of Godogodo. “My investigation shows that there were very few soldiers and policemen here, compared to the size of the town and the danger looming over it.”

Inside The Ibadan ritual camp

Image
     IBADAN, the Oyo State capital, has of late been in the news for not very good reasons. In what could easily pass as a scene from a horror film, a slave camp was discovered in the heart of the city.               This camp where unspeakable horrors have been committed apparently combined the functions of a shrine with that of a home or a transit camp where captives were randomly raped and offered up for rituals after vital organs have been taken out of their body.                                                        The Ibadan camp of horror brings under one roof the cannibal practice of Clifford Orji and the blood-chilling sacrifices and oath-taking of Okija. Like Orji’s one-man practice, the site was located in a city but like the Okija shrine, the camp was enveloped in a wilderness...
