Fish out perpetrators

Pastor David Sadiq, Royalpriestofjesus@yahoo.co.uk: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr once said that, “Through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can’t murder murder. Through violence you may murder a liar,  but you can’t establish truth. Through violence you may murder a hater,  but you can’t murder hate. Darkness cannot put out darkness. Only light can do that…”

The people that brutally and in such a inhumane manner, murdered the four university students in Aluu, Rivers State have done nothing to ward off evil but in their callous and barbaric jungle justice have demonstrated that they are nothing but harbingers of death.

Taking lives of fellow human beings in such a calculated coldness and alacrity can only confirm what the scripture says that in the end “the love of many shall wax cold.” Matthew 24:4-12.

A full inquest must be carried out by the Nigeria Police to bring the perpetrators of this heinous crime to justice.

Let us all rise and pray for our youths that our tomorrow shall not plunge into dark oblivion.
