D’banj has joined the list of celebrities who have condemned the killing of four UNIPORT undergraduates in ALUU, Port Harcourt.
The pop singer released a statement last night, calling for unity
amongst Nigerians, asking everyone to ‘fight together as one nation’ to
ensure justice is served not withstanding the counting of their loss property during and after the
killing of the innocent boys.
Read the full statement below…
They were my brothers…and yours.
Five days ago, I woke up to yet another unspeakable tragedy.
Four young men, all undergraduates, brimming with great dreams, unfulfilled aspirations and a promising future were killed.
To express the depth of my pain and shock at their murder is
impossible. And understanding how events could have degenerated to this
level is truthfully beyond me.
Lloyd, Ugo, Tekana and Chidiaka
Four promising young men whose lives were interwoven in one way or the other with yours and mine.
I mourn deeply with the families of these young men because this is
OUR collective loss. They were our colleagues, our classmates, our
neighbors, our brothers… our friends.
We are NOT a nation of barbarians. We CAN follow due processes and
procedures. We MUST fight together as ONE NATION to ensure that Justice
as a whole is served, and as a PROCESS, is duly followed-ALWAYS.
We can only try to make meaning of this senseless tragedy by
ensuring that this WILL not happen again, by affirming that the pursuit
of justice does not in any way entitle any of us to the willful
elimination of other people’s lives and by ensuring that we, as youths,
do not destroy the honorable mantle placed on us as the future of our
nation, by eliminating our present.
Aluu 4 and Mubi 40, Rest In Perfect Peace.
