GBAGYI PEOPLE: ONWARD TO THY SHRINES

On Monday the 8th August 2016 Governor El-Rufa'i and his council resolved to walk through their inhuman plan to reduce structures in Gbagyi Villa to rubbles. Occupants of Gbagyi Villa were given three on months notice disappear from the area or face the bulldozers and other structures demolishing machines. So far, the airwaves are busy announcing this decision for the consumption of the general public and the people of Gbagyi Villa. 

 Their resolution has once more confirmed that  they don't give a damn to the globally known legal principle that once a case is in court, all parties ceased action. That aside, residents of Gbagyi Villa have secured an injunction stopping Mr. El-rifa'i's purported intentions of pulling down their structures, pending when the court will make its ruling. Even with this, Mr. El-rufa'i and his council aren't willing to respect that.

  Now, when a democratically elected leader behaves in this manner, what are the options before his will be victims? The courts were established to adjudicate disputes of this nature. Now that Mr. El-rufa'i  isn't respecting the courts, what next? Amnesty International delved into the matter, yet that didn't deter him. Which other international body is left for the poor victims of Gbagyi villa to petition to?

   From all indications, the only body to cage Mr. El-rufa'i  is Kaduna State House of Assembly. They are vested with powers that can pull the brake on him. To the best of my knowledge, they have been petitioned.  Why are they not acting? Your guess is as good as mine.

   I see anarchy coming. Kaduna State is now another Owellian Animal Farm. Let the Gbagyi people, the original owners of the land- long before the coming of the white man petition their ancestors. Let them cry to the gods and seek for their intervention. To me, this option must be adopted right, away. There is no time...

By Philip Hayab 1.Green Colour: This stands for the arable land of the area which represents agriculture. Green is also associated with productivity which is source of wealth.
