When Incidents Like This Happen, People Tend To Give Versions Of Stories In Their Bid To Vent Their Opinion Which They Are Entitled To.
Like Every Individual Is Entitled To His Or Her Own Opinion So Also Am Entitled To My Own Opinion. You Can't Vent Your Opinion Freely, And Won't Allow Or Prevent From Me From Ventilating My Own Opinion On Issues. I Can't Shutdown My Facebook Account Because Of Anybody Neither Will I Relent From Ventilating My Reservations, Opinions Etc On Issues Because Of Attack, BackLash, Name Calling. Never. If I Do, Then I Have Allowed Myself To Be Intimidated
I Have Allowed Time In My Usual Approach To Issues Here To React On This Incident. Now This Issue We Hastily Rushed Into Drawing Conclusion Here And There, Have We Asked Thought Provoking Questions Which Could Help To Understand The Situation Very Well And Adequately?
Are The Ebubeagu Vigilante Really Responsible For This?
Ebubeagu Vigilante Outfit We Have Rashly Accused Over The Incident, As Far As Am Concerned, Has Legitimate Mandate Against Criminal Elements And Their Heinous, Devilish Activities. The Personnel Of This Security Outfit Are Members Of Communities They Are Mandated To Keep Watchful Eyes On, Protect And Guard Against Criminal Elements. What Benefits Will Members Of Ebubeagu Vigilante Who Are Members Of Communities They Are Watching Derive In Killing Their Brothers And Sisters? I Sense Blackmail Against The Group.
Where Did The Alleged Wedding Ceremony Take Place? In Otulu, Awomama Or Outside Awomama? What Was The Distance Between Venue Of The Wedding Event Whether In Otulu, Awomama Or Outside Awomama And The Point The Incident Took Place?
When Did The Alleged Wedding Ceremony From Which The Victims Were Coming Back From hold? On A Sunday? No Doubt Wedding Or Other Ceremonies Can Hold On A Sunday.
When Did The Incident Where These Youths Lost Their Lives Happen? Was It On Sunday? At What Time On Sunday? Because We Did Not Get The News On Sunday. The Story Or News Only Emerged On Monday.
If The Incident Occured On A Monday, At What Time Did It Occur?
Who Moves About On A Monday 'YOU ALL Agreed Is A Sit-At-Home Day?
Who Even Fixes Wedding Or Any Other Events On Monday Sit-At-Home Day In Imo, If Anybody Want Me To Believe It A Wedding Ceremony And, If They Attended A Wedding Ceremony And Were Coming Back From The Event? Remember I Earlier Asked, Did The Incident Happen On Sunday And We Did Not Get To Here About An Incident Such As This On Sunday?
Are There No Pictures Excerpts From The Wedding They Attended Showing Or Identifying The Victims At The Wedding In The Photos? Remember This Is Social Media Era. I'm Sure The Video Of The Wedding Ceremony Identifying Some Of These Victims On The Same Clothes They Spotted Would Have Gone Viral By Now.
Those Survivors Of The Attack That Ran Into The Bush And Called From The Bush According To The Otulu President General's Account On The Incident, Don't They Have Pictures In Their Phones They Snapped Together At The Alleged Wedding Event With Their Fellow Village Youths Who Allegedly Fell Victims Of The Incident? At Least That Will Help With Further Information?
These Questions Above Are Very Vital And Begging For Answers.
Therefore, Before We Set Imo Ablaze With Misinformation, Propaganda And Blackmail, Let Us Remember That Imo Is Our Collection. There Is No Other Place We Call Home Than Imo.
Imo Shall Prevail Over Evil.
I Remain Asiwaju Ohalete Wisdom Mayor
