An Urgent Memo to Armed Robbers of Nigeria:

By

Phil Tam-Al Alalibo

Dear Armed Robbers of Nigeria:

I trust this letter finds you in high spirit and enviable health. I am truly sorry for disturbing your peace and may I indulge your forgiveness for the impersonal manner I have written this letter for I have searched exhaustively and could not find a valid address to send this correspondence in confidence, so I resorted to the Internet in hopes that you will take some time from your very important night jobs and read the contents therein. I write because I am very concerned, indeed, exceedingly perturbed that the president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, and his chicken-hearted administration have been blaming the assassinations of prominent Nigerians on you, armed robbers of Nigeria. This is not only outrageous reeking aplenty of immense dubiety, it is unbelievable, casting aspersions, calumny and troubling defamation on the high morals of you great and honorable citizens of our country. How dare he impugn your esteemed and treasured integrity? Rather than nominating you as able candidates for the National Merit Award as outstanding citizens, he has taken miserable path of aberration.

You ought to know that the president is ruining your good name, which you have built working very hard at night while other worthless and lazy citizens sleep. We know that you have earned your good name by dodging bullets, jumping fences and running through the bush competing with dangerous animals and creatures while others drink in pubs and indulge in ineffectual matters. On account of the aforementioned, it becomes a very gall and nettle point, no less vexing to see you stand accused of political assassinations? Such is beneath you and this must not stand. I advise strongly that you armed robbers of Nigeria take an uncompromised stand on this very important national issue that borders on the security of our country and its citizens. This is an opportunity for you to set the record straight. Tell Nigerians the truth and expose the president and his nest of killers who have been taking the country on the path of blood and death.

At this juncture, I plead for honesty - I want to know if the following are true? Did you kill Dr. Marshall Harry, the Kalabari politician from Rivers State? Did you kill Dikibo also from Rivers State? Mind you that the president blamed these murders on you immediately they were announced. How did he know? Please, search your memories - Is it true that you attacked the convoys of governors George Akume of Benue and Bola Tinubu of Lagos? Is it true that you killed the university Don? Is it true that you killed Pa Rawane of Delta in the days of Abacha? How about Barnabas Igwe and his wife? In case you have forgotten, he was the Chairman of the Anambra Chapter of the Nigerian Bar Association. These murders have been blamed on you. Did you commit them or were they murdered by the powers that be and blamed on you? I believe that you ought to come out and make a statement disavowing your involvement in these killings so the truth may emerge and the president and the true killers might be exposed. I am afraid the consequences of silence are as grave as the charges before you, if you do not act swiftly and challenge these opprobrious accusations, you will be blamed for the murders of Chief Funso Williams, the governorship aspirant of Lagos State and his counterpart in Ekiti State and your good name would be lost eternally. Please, I plead, do not allow the president and his men to get away with murder.  Tell it.

I believe you are all innocent of these charges that have been heaped on you each time a prominent Nigerian is killed. We know that you would not hurt a fly not to talk of a human being. You have been made scapegoats one too many times and this behavior must stop. I am not sure if you have time to read the newspapers or watch the news, in the event you do, you will notice that our country is going down the drain. The president and his nest of killers are desperate as they try to eliminate their opponents. Recently, we had that they had planned the assassination of the vice president and also planned to blame it on you. We also know that they are planning to blame the mass massacres at Odi on your levelheaded heads as well as all the Sharia riots in the last seven years including the mayhem that occured recently in Onitsha and the ones yet to come during the 2007 elections. What’s more? Soon they would blame the failed third term bid on your heads and with that the gross failure of the Nigerian political system and society as a whole.

You would agree with me that it’s about time the truth be told, that the fine and irreproachable image of the armed robbers of Nigeria cannot be soiled willy-nilly by a man who is crazed and obsessed with blood. Our president and his men have gone array in their bid to hold on to power and its unfortunate that every political assassination committed by the PDP is pinned on you upright and moral leaders of this great country. As I conclude, please remember that next time you are on night duty working hard for your families, be well aware that the president and his men are planning their next political assassination and also planning to lay the blame on your doorsteps. I urge you to go ahead and tell the world the truth about these assassinations, so Nigerians may truly know the evil men they voted into power.

I am most indebted for your unsurpassed cooperation.
 

Sincerely,
