The father of a 26-year-old pregnant woman, who was murdered in the Arepo area of Ogun State last week, has blamed President Goodluck Jonathan for the incident.
Mr. Babafemi Ojo, whose daughter Damilola Fajana, was killed on April 28, said this in a statement on Monday.
Ojo explained that his daughter was killed by a stray bullet during a gun battle between the members of the Odua Peoples Congress and pipeline vandals.
He said it was unfortunate that Jonathan could hire the services of the OPC and award the group a huge contract just because he wanted to win an election.
The bereaved father wondered why men who were not trained professionals were allowed to secure government facilities in residential areas.
He said, “The unconstitutional empowerment of ethnic militias has resulted in the deaths of many innocent Nigerians, particularly in Arepo area of Ogun State.
“My daughter was killed in a crossfire while driving back home after a hard day’s job. Damilola was a 26 year old pregnant lawyer. She was a graduate of the University of Ado Ekiti.
“President Jonathan is linked to her death by the reason of his patronage of people who have no basic training in arms and weaponry —in the business of pipeline protection, a very dangerous security enterprise which is supposed to fall under the purview of trained Nigerian security agencies.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

The FGN should be tried for corporate manslaughter or culpable homicide. So sad.
ReplyDeleteJonathan should be jailed for the thousands of Nigerians that lost their lives due to his stupid transformation agenda that he has used to transform humans in Nigeria to ghostsw and skeletons in the graves. God will punish him for the huge insecurity he has caused Nigerians.
DeleteThe FG should take responsibility for this! But I trust Nigeria nau, lawless country, where everybody dey Sidon look. May her soul RIP
ReplyDeleteI agree. Take FGN to court now, Jonathan on May 29 at 3 pm

ReplyDeleteIf you choose to insult Nigerian President this way because you have one ought against him, remember he doesn't take decisions alone. One day your subordinates will relate with you in Like marner.
ReplyDeletei pray one day u will feel what that poor father felt idiot.@10:01am
DeleteLet's reason this out - why OPC? What happens to the Navy, what about the MOPOL? What about plain clothes officers of the police,? Why authorize ethnic vagabonds, lazy bones, part time armed robbers to carry guns, with unexplained sources, with so much impunity in the name of federal government contract to protect pipelines. It is total irresponsibility and lack of focus & concern for the citizenry of this great nation by the Jonathan-led administration. He is so CLUELESS & SPINLESS if you ask me. But please don't ask, you won't like my qualify words for Jonathan, his wife, his women - especially oduah, allison-madueke, okonjo-iweala and his general administration. We will overcome!!
ReplyDeleteJust a matter of days and everybody will be reigning abuse on another president.
