The Hidden Story Of ALUU 4
They had hardly left his room when he began to shout “thief, thief, thief” And that marked the beginning of their waterloo.
Clannish, malevolent men and women ran out, cordoned off the young men, beat them to a defenceless state, and strip them of their clothes. They did all these without asking a question. Then they were paraded in stark nudity around the community until they got to the ‘unpromised’ land–the village square.
The young students lay nude and helpless on the floor, their semblances and eyes beckoning for help. But none was close. They were
encircled by people of the community who gaped and moped without perturb, apparently savouring each moment with relish, some was enjoying the tragic scene snapping photographs with intent of being the first to post it on social medias, few was videoing the act in pleasure, while others were busy unleashing their masculine strenght on them. The whole incident appeared to import some sort of sinister cheers to their minds. While the video was being played, I was utterly dismayed as not only men–who are considered more hard-hearted - but women and children stood and watched. The young men were planked with 4”/2” sticks with their heads as the major target.
I even learnt that during the massacre, Tekena’s sister, Ann, who was visiting a friend, saw the growing crowd and went to witness what was going on. On arrival at the scene, she saw her brother! She immediately raised an alarm but was immediately threatened into quietude or be made to suffer the same lot. But she ran out, calling for unavailable help.
They all laid on the floor almost motionless. Their limbs had buckled from the excruciating torture, ...And just when they thought the worst had
happened, they saw tyres strewn around their necks. The young men were set ablaze!
I’m sure that was the most heart-wrenchingmoment for most of us who watched the video.
One of them had been tortured to death as was evidenced by his
motionless state when the fire came on. The other three visibly limp students, who were already writhing in pains, invoked the strands of strength left in them, and struggled to crawl or even sprawl out of the blazing fire that brought inexplicable
violence to their bodies. But, unsurprisingly,their enemies kicked them back in and stoked up the fire. And then in vanquish, they gave in to the struggle and gave up to life.
THEY ARE THE ALUU4!!!
The unfortunate deceased students met their untimely death while they were on a mission to forcefully reclaim a debt from an indigene of the community where they were gruesomely slain.
The horrible, outlandish incident which was orchestrated by indigenes of Aluu community claimed the lives of four students of University of Port-Harcourt - Chidiaka Biringa, Lloyd Michael, Tekena Erikenah and Ugonna Ibuzor.
This is how the lives of our potential Great Nigerian Students, who were suppose to now be serving, working and in their final year studies this year but death struck them earlier than they could insinuate, leaving their helpless parents and other Nigerians in a state of sorrow, wishes, confusion and tears.
MAY THE SOULS OF LLOYD, CHIADIKA, UGONNA and TEKENA REST IN PERFECT PEACE, AMEN.
REST IN PEACE ALUU4 of 5th Octomber, 2012.
They are not alive today to narrate their experience, we still pray their soul continue to Rest in Peace!
