The tragic irony is not lost on anybody. On June 2, a youth, Samuel Marcus joined other youths in a peaceful protest against cases of kidnapping in his Abraka Community which has become an epidemic. A couple of days later, reportedly on June 4, he and his brother, Aruoture, were ambushed by alleged kidnappers.
He was on the driver’s seat. The scene of the attack was close to the Abraka Railway Station.
They rained bullets at his car. He was killed him instantly. The fate of his brother still remains a guarded secret. Dead, too, or alive?, it is not public yet.
Who dunnit?
There are two different stories surrounding the tragic cut-down of the young man. While one story says he was abducted and killed by his kidnappers within six hours, another said it was a retaliatory killing by rogue Fulani herdsmen whose four members were killed because of their involvement in Kidnapping activities.
It is confirmed, however, that the area where he was killed is a known dangerous zone, notorious for incessant attacks on innocent citizens.
Investigations are on by the Police.
