Niga wit coruption,dat village head gave dos animals d goahead order 4 d lynching
ReplyDeleteD release of d Chief is a clear indication of injustice bcos when d boys were apprehended they were taken 2 his Palace and he said they should take them away. If d Head of d Community has asked d angry mob 2 release d boys 2 him dis evil wouldn't hv befallen them. Dis issue was a serious debate in my office ystdy b/w an Aluu man and d rest of us and we all saw d pple were very happy that these boys were killed even tho he tried not 2 exonerate his pple and claimed it was d strangers living in d Town that committed d havoc. It bleeds my heart each d thot comes in my mind and wonder d parents of dis boys will feel. However, even if all d acused escape d judgement of man, they cannot escape that of God.
