Our shameless South-East senators have come again. They want to GET Pres Buhari to investigate the six month old Biafra Day massacre of unarmed pro-Biafra demonstrators. That's very ambitious of them. Whatever prompted this turning of an apparently new leaf will probably be the subject of a major dissertation going forward.
Will someone kindly say "Good Morning" to these distinguished(?) individuals who seem to have been asleep all this while. Really? They want to put their imprimatur on an investigation meticulously carried out by Amnesty International? That's too little, too late. If anything they should have been asking for indictments and trials. The time for investigations, exploratory or judicial, has long passed. These senators must have been living under a rock or in a cave while the world moved on.
Please, please Senators, spare us this contrived sense of indignation and outrage. . It is too belated. You will do well to advise the officers of the death squads and their commanders to retain good lawyers. They will be needing them at the International Criminal Court, ICC in The Hague.
The truth is that the prospect of a Pinochet-type trial does not fill me with any joy. It will be a case of an injury self-inflicted. Old man Buhari should endeavour to spare himself and the nation such indignity.
