IZU'S BURIALS: PARENTS, 3SC, IJAW CONGRESS, NANPF CALL FOR JUSTICE

The remains of footballer, Joseph Izu, was laid to rest at his hometown in Okarki village in Rivers State today December 3rd. 

The grieving parents of the slain Shooting Stars defender, Izu Joseph, Mr & Mrs George Joseph, have ed others to call on the Federal Government to bring the killers of their son to books.The calls came shortly after the burial rites of the player whose life was cut short by the bullets of armed security personnel in Okarki area of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on 16th, October, 2016.

It was indeed a free flow of tears, wailings and teeth gnashing when the body arrived at the burial site and a complete shut down of activities on all the streets ed by the long convoy.In his sermon by the grave side, Rev.Father John said everyone comes from dust and to dust we shall return! He onished people to live Lord dominated life with total dedication, reminding everyone to brace up as death would come unannounced.He later prayed to God to hold the family together at this time of grief.


Reacting shortly after the interment, Shooting Stars' Akinwumi Akinyele described Izu Joseph as a committed player who is already being missed by the club.He called on the appropriate authority to act fast at bringing the killers to justice.Also, toeing the same line was the General Secretary of the Ijaw National Congress, Victor Butubo who believes the Federal Government should not turn deaf ears as Izu's killing is already a dent on its image.


Responding few minutes later in his residence, Pa George Joseph said he is only interested in getting justice for his son but frown at perceived lopsidedness in the posting of security personnel to Niger Delta areas!

"I only need justice for my son.And I should say this too, the policy of posting particular ethnic group in the Army to Niger Delta is not good for the unity of the country", he concludes.

The burial events attracted people from all walks of life.Izu Reuben Joseph, 24 is survived by wife, a daughter, parents and siblings!

Amin oooo Jesu.

Nigeria is a lawless country. How cam a soldier shoot dead a human being without government taking action? No one can come out to address this family and give them justice. I am so scared of staying just a week in Nigeria.

Too many wicked people in this country - now that you have killed him are you satisfied? Bastards!

"Stop sending Hausa and Fulani soldiers to the Nigeri Delta"! The number of extra judicial killings under Buhari is more than those under all other civilian presidents put together. That guys must have his day at the ICC. Buhari is the author of several atrocities in Nigeria. Period!

Izu, Rest In Peace. May the flies on a thousand cows keep following the basterd killed you. He will know no peace and he will live a long and miserable life. Amen

Too much bloodshed everywhere death death, Lord have mercy on us. R.I.P man
