ANOTHER MILITARY RASCALITY CLAIMS LIFE OF INNOCENT CITIZEN.

A young man was shot dead  by men attached to the 130 Battalion Nigerian Army in Abonnema.

Mr Sepribo Black-Duke, 31,  who went out to enjoy his evening like every other free citizen became another innocent victim of the decried wanton display of military brutality. He was shot dead by men of the Nigerian Army at about 8:45PM 9th November 2018 and bled profusely until he died.

Reports have it that Mr Sepribo Black-Duke had sat in a drinking bar located at Briggs Compound, Abonnema  where he whiled away the evening alongside a few other friends. It was in the middle of this merriment,  amidst the cheers of friends, soft strains of music and the gust of fresh air that blew from the Sombreiro river, that the camouflage-wearing men of Nigerian Army unleashed their terror and began to brutalize everyone in the bar.

The army brutalized and tortured the innocent citizens. They beat and  injured Sepribo until he could no longer bear the pains and took to his heels. But what advantage has the wobbling feet of a dying man over the pounding boots of a battalion of arm wielding soldiers. Sepribo ran. He staggered and continued to run. And then the gun sounded. But yet he ran. The lower part of his body turning bloody, Sepribo ran as every man would for his life. It is only an armed man that stands in the face of battle. Sepribo was neither armed nor fortified as a peace loving citizen of Abonnema. He only ran as every innocent man would for his dear life until he fell.

With his body down, bleeding from  belly, the military men walked down to Mr Sepribo and shot at him the 3rd time and was left there in lifelessness by the military men, wriggling and screaming in a pool of his own blood.

He was finally picked up by friends and relatives with the help of the Executive Chairman, Hon. Rowland Sekibo (JP) and rushed to UPTH but gave up along East-West Road by Choba bridge due to too much loss of blood.

Mr Sepribo Black-Duke was an executive member of the PDP and was the Vice Chairman of the Party in ward 3 Akulga. He was also a vibrant member of Abonnema Youth Organization (A.Y.O).

Meanwhile, the family of the deceased together with the Chairman of Akuku-Toru Local Government Area have met with the Police D.P.O. in Abonnema to make a formal report of the gruesome murder of Mr Sepribo Black-Duke by the Nigerian military men.

The Executive Chairman, Hon. Rowland Sekibo, JP also commiserated with the wife of the deceased earlier on Saturday morning(10th November, 2018).
