-




Yoruba socio cultural group,the Coalition of Oodua Self determination Group(COSEG) has condemned in strong terms the killing of innocent protesters and security details in Lagos State,calling on the state government to ensure justice is done in this circumstance.


The group In a  press  release in Ikeja on Wednesday  signed by comrades  Dayo Ogunlana and Dele Daramola ,the chairman and Publicity Secretary of its coordinating counuil respectively condemned in strong terms the massacre in Lekki by the Soldiers and Mushin by the policemen.


According to COSEG" we are not unaware of the massacre made by Nigerian Military and police men in both Lekki and Mushin of Lagos State on a black Tuesday. We wish to state without any contradiction that these shootings and massacre on peaceful youth are babarick,callous, unwarranted, wicked,inhuman,unjust and undefendable.This is just unimaginable."

 

"As  an organization that was formed to defend our race,we cannot sit down and keep quiet  and allow this heinous crime perpetrated against our people to go unchallenged. This is a sad story in the history of Nigeria".


COSEG therefore calls on the Nigerian Government to retrace its steps in the attempts to use force and Military men to check the protests. 


The group said" moreso that we condemn violence in the street protest March,we call on the Goverment to retrace its steps in the March to forcefully  stop the ongoing protests as brute Force will escalate the ongoing protests. It is absurd and uncivilized to use military and brute Force at this digital age. "


The group also call the youth to stop the ongoing destruction of property  in retaliation for the massacre inLekki and Mushin,stressing that the " the massacre in Lekki and Mushin  uncalled for, unpatriotic and highly callous but we appeal to our teeming youths who are highly infuriated to stop the destruction of properties as revenge on the avoidable and  callous killings. We are with you,we share your pains and will do everything to ensure those who perpetrated the destardly act do not go unpunished. We shall continue to support and guide you so that all your demands are implemented. It's a struggle for all"


COSEG  however re-iterates it's age long appeal to president Buhari in consonance with the National Assembly to sincerely convoke a National conference urgently which it's outcome will be implemented. "This is the only route to ensure peace, tranquility and orderliness. They cannot continue to run away from this noble  path except they are comfortable with  this current situation where prosperity is not guaranteed for the people except themselves because it will continue to increase their  take home  as they will continue to defend their payment on security to swindle our resources.

"The time for the National conference is now"., COSEG concluded.
