‘’First
they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a
Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out, because
I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak
out, because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me, and there was no one to
speak for me’’. – Martin Niemöller
Scores
of Nigerians die untimely, yearly due to extra-judicial killings usually by overzealous
Nigerian security operatives and through gunshot injuries. Aside from the ‘’collateral
damages’’ and factual extra-judicial killing of Boko Haram suspects sequel to
the ongoing counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations in North-East
Nigeria,
Nigeria’s erstwhile Attorney-General of the Federation and
Minister of Justice, Mr. Mohammed Adoke, reportedly accused the Nigeria Police Force of being responsible for not less than
7, 108 deaths in the last four years as at December 2012.
