“Gana Was Killed For Becoming Benue’s Amotekun General”

Abuja-based Comedian, Enenche Enenche has given what he considers a reason for the killing of Benue’s most
wanted criminal, Terwase Akwaza, popularly known as “Gana.”

It would be recalled that Gana was killed on Tuesday by soldiers, after he had surrendered himself in Katsina-Ala Local Government Area for the amnesty programme announced by the state government.

He and 172 militia boys had surrendered to traditional rulers, priests and officials of the local government. But, while on their way to the Government House in Makurdi, the state capital, the military had intercepted the government convoy they were travelling in and killed him.

According to the Commander of the Four Special Forces Command, Doma Local Government Area, Maude Ali Gadzama, Gana was killed in a firefight with military personnel.

However, Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom said, Gana was snatched from a government convoy of repentant militants in Gboko.

In a short post he made on his facebook page on Wednesday, titled “WHO KILLED GANA?”, Enenche said that the deceased was fast becoming an “Amotekun General” for his people and as a result, he had to be taken out. He added that “The way Nigeria is going, ethno-militias are fast becoming chief security officers along tribal boundaries.”

Here's what he wrote;

WHO KILLED GANA?

“The news of his death came to me with mixed feelings. He came out to surrender himself and shouldn’t have been killed in that “shootout” according to the Army.

“I think the Governor of Benue state over estimated the amnesty he offered, he should have secured federal amnesty. It has now been proven that state amnesty is inferior to federal amnesty.

“He came out, out of trust. To me trust has been betrayed. The way Nigeria is going, ethno militias are fast becoming chief security officers along tribal boundaries and Gana was fast fitting into that “Amotekun General” of his people… the need to cut him off.

“Like BH amnesty in the north or militants in the south, I strongly believe that Gana and his boys should have been given a chance since we are in a era of “Amnesty Jamboree”. Too bad that Gana could not pass the interview to be admitted into “Nigeria’s Institute of Amnesty”.

“Gana had rich criminal records no need to pretend about it. Rich like that of those ex BH and ex militants who are roaming our streets with amnesty pass tags.

“I don’t blame the Military especially the Nigerian Army for what they did. They only acted on orders. They was a time if you google it, you would see it; “Gana is wanted death or alive, if possible dead”… Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen. Buratai.

“The soldiers only carried out an order… if his killing is extrajudicial or not, don’t quarrel those who carried out the act, but those who gave the order long time ago.

“He who lives by the sword, shall die by the sword. I think his time was up. But how we “up it” would remain a strong moral burden in the hearts of many Nigerians for a long time. May God heal Nigeria.”
