S O K A

Each time i pick up my device to write about the soka horror, i don't type more than 2 lines before i get overwhelmed with emotion and drop it. Talk of another level of wickedness!

I have tried so hard to put my thoughts together but all i come up with are questions. I won't bother asking these questions because i know nobody have got answers to them so let's leave it.

According to report, the first step the governor of the state took after visiting the site was to issue an instruction that caterpillar be moved to the site to destroy the place. I thought this man was educated for godsake! Destroy a crime scene just like that?! Is that ignorance, or a move to show the angry populace that the government is active or there is something they want to hide?
Well, the police chief halted the demolition until the police findings are over, which i think is the proper procedure even though naija police investigation get as e be.

Anyway the latest now be say forensic experts from UCH are conducting investigation at the crime scene which also is a positive move but the question is (in Asari Dokubo's voice) "wetin dem wan compare their findings against?" Which database we get wey dem wan use process the bones, fingerprints etc to find out who is who?

So far so good the only arrests made according to the police PR are security operatives of nearby sites.

Leaders in Nigeria are so wicked that they cannot be exonerated from deliberate attempt to destroy evidence in a situation like this. Likewise the populace are not enlingthened enough to know how to treat a crime scene and be calm while investigation continues. This type of place quickly becomes a tourist attraction with all manners of business ventures established immediately. Pure water and gala sellers, areas boys and fathers establishing gates and collecting viewing fees etc.
The police also have no form of crowd control technique other than shooting. Reports have it that a woman was killed by the police at the scene.
As complex as our problems might look, the only solution lies in the basic approach adopted by other developed countries which worked (and is still working) for them.

I am only sorry in advance for the innocent folks that'll soon be arrested and paraded as the soka criminals....
