In the annals of Nigeria's troubled history, a former lawmaker by the name of Shehu Sani emerges as a prominent voice, seeking justice for the restless souls that haunt the nation. In a powerful statement conveyed through his verified Twitter handle on a somber Monday, this social critic made grave pronouncements about the enduring spirits of the slain EndSARS protesters of 2020 and the members of the Islamic Movement in 2015, whose ethereal presence would linger over the nation's skies until justice was served.

With a determined resolve, Shehu Sani cast a searing spotlight on the dark chapters of the past, pointing out that the killing of 103 EndSARS protesters in Lagos constituted one of the concealed atrocities of the era under the rule of former President Muhammadu Buhari. Unveiling the hidden horrors, he underscored the significance of acknowledging the brutal events that had unfolded during that time.

Yet, it was not only the tragic fate of the EndSARS protesters that weighed heavily on his conscience but also the heart-rending massacre of over a thousand members of the Islamic Movement in Zaria during the tumultuous year of 2015. These innocent souls had met their untimely demise on the orders of the military Chief of Staff, a command that had found public support from none other than the Governor of Kaduna State.

In harrowing detail, Shehu Sani recounted the gruesome aftermath of the Zaria massacre, describing how the general public was callously incited through hateful propaganda to desecrate the bodies of the victims, marching and dancing upon the bloodied corpses while scavenging for anything of value hidden within their pockets. The victims, including vulnerable women and innocent children, were relegated to bullet-riddled and charred remains, a stark testament to the cruelty that had transpired.

In the most heart-wrenching revelation, it was revealed that the fallen were denied their dignity even in death, as they were unceremoniously buried in mass graves within the confines of Kaduna State. Their supposed "offense" had been as simple as obstructing the passage of the Army Chief, yet the punishment they faced was incomprehensibly disproportionate and inhumane.

Shehu Sani's impassioned words sought to ensure that these departed souls would not be forgotten, for he firmly believed that their spirits, like restless phantoms, would continue to haunt the conscience of the nation. Be it the alleged crime of "blocking" the road in Zaria or "blocking" the gates of Lekki, the echoes of their injustice would resonate through the country's very fabric, darkening its skies until retribution and accountability were achieved.

These powerful revelations shook the hearts of the nation, igniting a call for truth and justice to prevail. The spirits of the departed called out for an end to the culture of impunity, demanding that those responsible for the atrocities be brought to justice. Shehu Sani's impassioned plea became a rallying cry, urging the nation to confront its troubled past and pave the way for a more just and equitable future. For only through the pursuit of truth and accountability could the ghosts of the past find the peace they so desperately sought.

NLC Launches Protest Against Petrol Subsidy Removal in Lagos with Enhanced Security Measures

  The streets of Lagos were alive with the fervent voices of protesters as members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) took to the streets to stage nationwide demonstrations. Their grievance was a forceful opposition to the recent removal of petrol subsidy by the federal government. The heart of the protest was centered at the bustling Ikeja under-bridge in Lagos, where a sea of people had gathered to make their voices heard. This uprising was not a sudden decision; it came as the culmination of mounting frustration and discontent over policies that the NLC deemed "anti-poor" and "insensitive." Last week, the NLC had issued an ultimatum to the government, demanding a reversal of these policies within seven days. The clock had run out, and the government's attempts to quell the impending strike and protest had proven futile. The issues at the core of this unrest stemmed from President Bola Tinubu's declaration during his inaugural address on May 29. He boldl...
