Surprisingly, Donald Trump-led government of the United States and instruments it uses against other countries, particularly in holding back the hands of Nigeria not to act even when violent protests are staged on her territory, stood against the violent protesters, who broke in, to occupy the Capitol recently.
Those instruments included the Cable News Network (CNN), Twitter and Facebook, which not only allowed but practicularly promoted fake news against the Nigerian Government and its Army during the #EndSARS protests of October 2020.
The DEFENDER reports that CNN reported what did not happen by Nigerian Army when it said its “investigative report” showed troops of Nigerian Army shot at peaceful protesters and, thereby, massacred scores of them.
Up till today, the claimers, mainly DJ Switch upon whose claims CNN and President Donald Trump government relied to carry campaigns of calumny and condemnations abroad against Nigeria, her government and Army, have not been able to provide evidence of massacre against the Nigeria government and the Army.
Citizens are now coming out to demand that all those that had hands in the acclaimed peaceful #EndSARS protests, which was never truly peaceful, must now be brought to book, since, according to them, the same America’s President, who promoted them to overthrow democratically elected government and further go on to destabilize the country with a view to breaking it, is the same person that incited his supporters to destroy the western nation’s democracy as his refusal to accept his defeat lasted.
America’s system, however, proved that no one is above national interest when it comes to breach of the law and met the protesters with level of force the violent protesters deserved, indicating that what deployment of security agents against such protests that was disallowed for Nigeria is now allowed for the US.
It will be recalled that some foreign and local collaborators claimed to have compiled enough evidences to file charges against Nigeria for the country and its government and Army to be tried for genocide at the International Criminal Court (ICC), despite clear non-existence of any. A particular religious association was part of the misrepresentation of the Nigeria who told the International Community opposite of what happened in the country.
Now that it is clear that not even America’s system slows the ‘madness’ that #EndSARS elements did in Nigeria last year, patriotic citizens are asking President Muhammadu Buhari to begin investigation with a view to prosecuting the culprits, saying they are not above the law.
One of the patriots who have voices out on this Cham Faliya Sharon, who, in a letter to the President, informed him that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States of America is currently rounding up and arresting protesters who invaded Capitol and asked him to do same of #EbdSARS rioters in Nigeria.
Details of his letter below:
Our dear President Buhari,
LET’S COPY AMERICA “THE SANER CLIMES”: #EndSARS CRIMINALS ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW!
Dear PMB, I’m sure you’re fully aware that America’s FBI is currently rounding up and arresting ALL the rioters, insurrectionists and terrorists that invaded the US Congress buildings on Wednesday, January 6, 2021 at the behest of President Donald J. Trump, ostensibly to commit a bloody coup d’etat.
While the arrests are appropriate and expected, but what I want to draw your attention to is the fact that, the damages or destructions done against Nigeria by #EndSARS criminals and idiots are 10,000,000% more than what those ReTrumplicans did in America. While those Nazi ReTrumplicans made minimal damages to the US Capitol Hill buildings, looted a few items and killed one policeman, the #EndSARS criminals on the other hand killed 6 soldiers, killed close to 40 policemen and even cooked the body of one of the policemen and ate him. They then burnt down hundreds of BRT buses in Lagos, burnt down banks, television stations and newspaper houses.
That’s not all. They invaded police stations and prisons, burnt them down and freed all their criminal colleagues before proceeding to loot supermarkets, warehouses, and other public and private properties. Sadly, these criminals are still walking around freely, with quite a number of their top leaders even featuring in media interviews insulting you and denigrating the country, always aided and abetted by conflict entrepreneurs masquerading as human rights activists and lawyers. At the last count, the National Economic Consultative Assembly (NECA) estimated that the destructions wreaked by those criminals and idiots was 4 trillion Naira, and it could take decades before their damages are fixed.
Yet the criminals and idiots are walking around freely. Where on earth are economic saboteurs allowed to walk about freely, much less economic saboteurs that are also criminals and terrorists? That’s the reason why the FBI and other American institutions are leaving no stone unturned in arresting their own criminals. Fortunately, these #EndSARS criminals always refer to America as saner climes, and would always mock your government for not practising what is done in “saner climes”. Now that we have seen how saner climes treat violent rioters, I hereby call on you to immediately direct the DSS to begin rounding up these criminals and compel them to cough out 4 trillion Naira to offset the destructions they wrought, and then prosecute them for the murder of tens of personnel of our security forces.
If we practice the rule of law like America does, I can assure you that Nigeria will quickly become a saner clime just like you turned the country into when you were military Head of State in 1983/85.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Cham Faliya Sharon.
