LLOYD MICHAEL |
Today, one of the ALUU4 Lloyd Micheal was buried at the Port Harcourt Cemetry.
Lloyd a 19yrs old 200 level Civil Engineering one of the four undergraduates of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) that were lynched at Aluu community for allegedly stealing laptops and mobile phones.
Yesterday, a service of song was held for Lloyd, there was a huge crowd of young People all dressed in black walking the with heads down in pity for the loss or a shining star.
Today, he was laid to rest::: In attendance were, UNIPORT V.C represented by the dean, Students’affairs, prof Henry Leopold Bell’gam. Chairman Police Community Relations Committee, Hon. Henry Young – no police presence any state government representatives.
Following the murder, Lloyd’s mother, Mrs Toku, expressed shock that the crowd could watch as her son and his friends were gruesomely murdered.
Read what she had to say below; Really Sad
When we got there, one of them was still breathing. He was gasping for breath, but the crowd…they were all there watching while my baby (Lloyd) was butchered. Come to my area and ask questions about my child; the child I trained. Penultimate Sunday, we went to church, Salvation Ministry; that is where he worshipped.
We all went together for the second service. He stayed back for the remaining service. When he came back, he started preparing to go to school. I can still see him as I talk to you.
He brought out a book; ‘How Faith Works’ by David Ibiyomie and he said ‘Mummy, read this book and you will know what faith is all about. By the time I come back on Friday, you will tell me what faith is all about.
Ever since, I have been moving around with that book, so that I could read and not get him angry when he comes back from school and ask me about what I learnt from the book.
Thursday was his daddy’s birthday. Lloyd called him and wished him happy birthday. When his daddy asked him if he would be coming home to celebrate the birthday with the family, he promised he’d come back on Friday after lectures. But on Friday morning, we got the call that my son was being beaten. How can I erase the fact that my son was lynched from my mind? He studied very hard and got admission into the university.
May His Soul Rest in Peace.
