Next time the Nigerian military should think twice
before sending the likes of Col. KukaSheka as witnesses in a court hearing. The
old man is seemingly oblivious of the fact that he’s testifying before court of
law in one of the most sensitive issues in Nigeria today. The State Vs Sheikh
Ibraheem Zakzaky (H).
It was this same Kukasheka who on December the 12th,
2015 in his ‘asinine statement’ to men of press alleged that, and I quote:
“they narrowly escaped an assassination plot” at the hands of El Zakzaky boys.
It’s worth noting that Kukasheka was referring to the convoy of COAS, Lt. Tukur
Buratai.
And today Kukasheka was ‘shitting his pants’ all
over by trying to play dumb before the Kaduna High Court. He acted as though he
knew nothing about the Zaria Massacre, answering all questions directed at him
ineptly. The same old man who was bold to speak before men of press and spewed
all kinds of lies five years ago, has today lost the confidence to remember not
even his name, perhaps?
His foolish answers before the court today provided
few points to ponder. First is the abysmal possibility that Kukasheka could be
playing the court in a sinister move to have the hearing continue at a snail’s
pace, upon which Sheikh Zakzaky’s health and that of his wife will further
deteriorate.
If it happens to be true, in any case, Kukasheka
should be severely penalized for his attempt to subvert case hearing as
critical as this. And also for his attempt to ridicule the court.
Second, which seems more like it, is that Kukasheka
is trying to exonerate himself from the heinous crime they committed during the
Zaria Massacre where over a thousand innocent civilians were killed in cold
blood, and later, their corpses mass buried.
He, of all people, should know better that the key role
he played during that massacre can neither be forgotten nor forgiven, and let
alone be exonerated. He is one of the principal architects of the extrajudicial
killing of over a thousand innocent citizens, for which he MUST be held
accountable, and punished accordingly in here and hereafter. To add salt to his
injury, let me remind Kukasheka that the ICC in the Hague still awaits him.
Third is the fact that truth can never be
extinguished and falsehood will always perish. In spite of their tireless effort
to cover up the truth about the Zaria Massacre, it’s now becoming clear by day
that they’ve actually woefully failed- and always will! No amount of sponsored
propaganda or campaign of calumny will ever be enough to bury under carpet a
crime as heinous as Zaria Massacre. Never!
If I were in a position to advise Kukasheka, and the
Nigerian military by extension, I would have asked him [them] to save himself
[themselves] the shame and come clean about it all. Inviting more shame does
them no good. But unfortunately, terribly shameless liars they are! They will
lie, times and again. Then another. Repeat some more, till when the lie is
itself tired of their lies. And that’s exactly when the likes of Kukasheka go
berserk and answer every question as “I don’t Know”. “I also read from the
newspaper”. “Well, blah blah.. I forgot”.
