There is something rotten in the
state of Denmark
and it’s either we clean it up now or we all die from this stench. This is not
an alarmist testament; it is real. The killings and findings following the Offa
robberies have provided us an opportunity to cleanse the Aegean stables once
and for all.
Thirty-three
citizens woke up on Thursday, the 5th of April 2018 to go about their lawful
businesses, but they were brutally murdered in cold blood by a group of young
people in apparent armed robberies involving six banks in Offa, Kwara State.
The banks are the First Bank, Ecobank, Guaranty Trust Bank, Zenith Bank, Union
Bank and Ibolo Microfinance Bank. Amongst the dead were 9 police officers,
pregnant women and other ordinary citizens. The police have arrested some of
those behind the killings, including leaders of the gang and they have
allegedly been making confessions. I say “allegedly” because whatever they are
saying now has not been tested in a court of law.
