Hello Friends!
When the news broke that four students of UNIPORT Ugonna, Lloyd, Tekena and Chidiaka were beaten to death before they were set ablaze by an Irate Mob in ALUU Community, the whole country was in shock.
The young undergraduates were accused of various grave offences-from stealing to Cultism.
Emerging facts across Nigeria have it that the 4 victims were neither armed robbers nor cultists as earlier speculated.
One of the stories being circulated on the social Media has it that one of the victims, Ugonna actually went to collect the money owed him by a friend and somehow, during the course of collecting the money, an argument ensued.
The debtor then raised a false alarm alerting the indigenes of the community to come to his rescue, and sadly, there had been reports of incessant theft/robberies in that community. And so the boys were rounded -up taken to the Chief and even though they pleaded their innocence.
They were then stripped, paraded as robbers, beaten and subsequently burned to death. The outcry of the killings of these young man cut down in their prime, is their emerging bright future.
Two of these guys, Ugonna, a.k.a Tipsy and Lloyd a.k.a Big L. who were cousins were promising musicians who recently did a rap song.
The duo titled the rap song, Aint No Love in The Heart of the City.
Just like the message of the song, the residents of Aluu community showed no love on the four students as they were brutally murdered in the heart of the city, penultimate Friday, without a blink from any of the security agencies.
Rap music had made Lloyd and Ugonna popular in UNIPORT. As upcoming artistes, they both won a rap contest, tagged "Rap Attack" where star rapper, Vector was the judge. They have also been on tour with Kenni's music All Stars In Owerri were they dazzled the audience and it was evident that they were stars in the making who were cut down in the prime.
Ugonna, from all indications, lived a comfortable life. Photos that emerged after his death showed that he lived a life of affluence as some pictures even suggested that he was widely travelled. One of the pictures released was reportedly taken in London.
Also, the pictures of the other undergraduates were not so different and it is surprising that they were branded as thieves who had stolen mobile phones and a laptop.
One of the victims, Chidiaka who is fondly called Alladin is said to be a funny lad who enjoyed making people laugh. He was equally talented and could give a professional comedian a run for his money.
In an interview conducted by "Spaceman" a thoroughbred broadcaster on Radio Port Harcourt, the victims, friends described the lifestyles of the murdered young guys as fantastic. This is not a matter of heresy. I had personal dealings with them, in fact, the truth is, Tekena wasn't feeling fine that week. Lloyd, Ugonna and Tekena were nothing close to being cultist or criminals.
They were wonderful people who had so much respect for themselves, their family and the school. They were people who had clear vision of what they want for themselves. If you check through their facebook page and their twitter page, you would realize that those boys had vision, so it is wicked for anybody to assume that Ugonna, Tipsy as he was fondly called, Lloyd, (Big L) and Tekena were cultists. It is cruel to attach such allegation to them.
Another of their friends Audu Chizee, who is also a musician also said something about his late pals.
"I stumbled into the pictures a day after my rehearsal and I felt very bad because these are guys I do music with. I later saw the clips, I would tell you it was the worst moment of my life I saw Cannibalism, I saw wickedness, wouldn't even pray that my enemies experience such agony.
