Monarchs’ killing: Nigeria sliding into ground zero, says Atiku’s ex-aide 

Spokesman of the Atiku Abubakar 2019 presidential campaign, Segun Sowunmi, has said Nigeria is sliding into some “form of ground zero” following the killing of two monarchs in Ekiti State.

Sowunmi, who was governorship aspirant in Ogun State, described the killing as “extremely provocative and suggests that those marauders have no sense of culture or good upbringing.”

The PDP chieftain in a statement in Abeokuta, called on President Bola Tinubu to open up to the enormous capacity that is available to stamp firm authority in the worsening insecurity.

He said, “A crime must be called a crime, all this nonsense of calling it tribal names is dangerous.

“Those who draw security votes at the sub-national levels must know that we are sliding into some form of ground zero.

“On the specific killing of the traditional rulers in Ekiti, it is extremely provocative and suggests that those marauders have no sense of culture or good upbringing.

“Those who put them to this rubbish are threatening the peaceful coexistence of this nation. All those who are remotely connected to this must be found and brought to book.

“To those with responsibility to safeguard our people, that is governors, the earlier you come up with a comprehensive framework to secure our land, her people and those who live peacefully there the better.

“There is no such thing as a highly highly-placed personality in my book when it comes to killing people. Those who speak the language of those involved in this madness should call them to order immediately.”

【明報專訊】由被捕至定罪,現年19歲的中五生肥仔(化名)於還押加上入獄的兩年期間,反修例運動跌至低潮。他說沒有後悔,在獄中勤看書及思考,現獲准留原校繼續讀中五的他找到人生目標,決心追回學業及考上大學;女友在牆外守候兩年,也讓他明白什麼才是愛。 囚兩年出獄 重建生活「不真實」訪問當天,肥仔剛「送別」一名朋友入獄,從法庭趕來。因反修例案定罪的肥仔去年10月出獄,臉上比同齡人多了一份沉穩。他自言曾是「港豬」,最初沒去反修例遊行,後來警民衝突愈演愈烈,有市民質疑警察濫用武力,直至有一次肥仔目睹警察放催淚彈,觸發他走出來。2019年8月起他愈走愈前,直至10月被捕,那時17歲。他說沒後悔,「如果出來行又顧慮被捕,就不需出來」。肥仔還押後,中大及理大爆發激烈衝突,翌年中央出手訂立《港區國安法》,社會回復平靜,被判囚兩年的肥仔僅靠收音機、電視或報紙窺探香港遽變。出獄後,肥仔形容感覺很不真實,獄中生活有人安排,出獄後他要重新鋪排生活及學業,重建人際關係,一度甚至覺得「咁多嘢煩,不如坐監算」。牆內看書思考 「兩年不叫錯過」撇除失去自由,肥仔在獄中看到很多,變得成熟,「這兩年不叫『錯過』,人生經歷不是要有就有」,與囚友相處,讓他提早見識人性,學懂對人防備。他在獄中常看書及思考,由不愛讀書、毫無目標,到現在想至少考上副學士或大學,成為有影響力的人,「想在人生有進步」。他獲准留在原校繼續讀中五,正努力追趕學業,漸漸適應生活。女友不離棄 盼今後「行落去」兩年來女友不離不棄,使肥仔感動。他被捕後在羈留室第一個想起她,那時剛分手兩個月。他着律師幫忙打電話,告訴她「其實我還好愛你」,不久二人在探訪室重逢,女孩隔着窗問肥仔,「可否做我的男友?」兩人決定復合時,女孩剛升中六,由應付文憑試到讀大學,仍每周長途跋涉探望他,靠書信傳情。他曾寫信告訴女友自己或至少要坐牢6年,但她還是說會等下去。每次隔窗相見,肥仔總想擁抱她、牽她的手,「出來後卻有點不敢做這些事,感覺很奇怪,當你有得攬、有得拖,會想是否真的可這樣做?」他慶幸兩人如今相處舒服,「一直好愛她,很想行落去」。稱審訊煎熬 嘆反修例案關注減肥仔在獄中收過陌生人來信,上庭常見市民旁聽,但有感近期社會對反修例案關注減少,「不要忘記為何有『手足』出現,某程度上你當時去遊行示威,你沒被捕,可能因為他們代替了你坐監」。他說審訊及在囚煎熬,「在運動低潮下,你盡到的力可能就是探監、寫信或送車,你都不去做?」有人形容社會「躺平」,肥仔慨嘆對港人失望,批評有些人「不配有自由」,「已接受香港是這樣的面貌」。他明白憑一己之力無法改變,但會繼續裝備自己。正當許多港人移民,他沒想過離開,「生於斯長於斯,我愛的人與事都在這裏」。(反修例風暴)
