Mohammed Yusuf had in his kitty, 3,000 rabid adherent fanatics as well as other followers and supporters including some former government officials. One of them, a former commissioner Alhaji Foi Buji was similarly executed by the Nigeria state over this crisis. Pictured here left is captured Alhaji Foi Buji, handcuffed and barely clothed, sitting behind an open truck transporting him to his execution grounds - the premises of the Nigerian police? The bottom right picture shows the partially dirt-covered lifeless body of executed Alhaji Foi, soon after he arrived the Nigerian police premises?

Icheoku uses this opportunity to once again condemn the high rate of state murders in Nigeria.
