It's very unfortunate that we descend very low to play politics with the life of an innocent child. I saw the pictures of the young boy who was gunned down today and had kept mute to be very sure before saying anything but I've been reading some pro-government writers telling the world that nobody was killed until I ran into Chidiebube Okeoma and Prince Chidi Obi who were close to tears in devastation. Prince Chidi Obi was there when the sister of the dead boy was beating up herself as she lamented the death of her brother. Chidiebube Okeoma even met with the father of the dead child. I later saw pictures and saw the entry point of the bullet into the young boy's head and I ask, must the blood of this child be spilled for a government policy to be carried out? Are these policies supposedly not meant for that little boy's future? Must we play petty and dirty politics over the blood of this young boy to the extend that we deny that it happened forgetting that we have our own children and if Nemesis decides to visit us with our own coin our children may bevome victims tomorrow? So Eke Ukwu have claimed a young life? Our so called future generation killed because of a government policy and somebody is glorifying at the death of this boy. I tell you, this blood spilled today will cry out. It will cry out against our oppressors. It will cry out against their cheerleaders. It will cry out against any hand involved in this blood shed and every hand that supports it or try to cover it up. The sins you do today much be visited on you and your family. As that family weeps today, weeping will not be far from your home. It is unfortunate. I should not feel anything for the sufferings of Ndi Imo today. I warned you and today I sit back and say I told you so. But I cannot keep quiet and a young soul is lost because of a policy which would not have required police and army if an educated and well experienced human manager was in power. Today you have sent all your families away out of the state and country just in case of reprisal and killed this boy. It is very unfortunate but mark it this day that the tears and weeping coming to your household still dey do pressup. Owerri people I am very ashamed of you. As you made your bed today you are lying on it.
