Indigenes of Kula Kingdom for Akuku-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State don carry the bodies of residents wey die inside boat accident go the Rivers State Government House, as dem dey demand justice for the victims.
Dem march through Port Harcourt on Thursday, carry the dead bodies along with dem, and head straight to the Government House. Three different outlets — BBC, Channels Television and The Guardian Nigeria — report the same action, and all of dem describe am as a community protest wey carry the bodies of people wey lose their life inside the boat accident.
The Guardian Nigeria tok say the Kula indigenes marched through Port Harcourt with the bodies before dem reach the Rivers State House. Channels Television report the movement as residents storming the Government House to demand justice, while BBC explain am as the community carrying dead bodies go the Government House to seek justice for residents wey die for the boat accident.
From the reports, na grief and anger carry the people go the government door. Dem no stop for council level or police station. Dem carry the corpses of their own people reach the seat of power for the state.
Still, the reports wey dey available no give the number of people wey die for the accident, and dem no explain how the boat take capsize or wetin cause am. Nothing dey inside the reports to show say the Rivers State Government don respond to the protest or react to the demand for justice.
Wetin stand out be say the community no gree make the matter slide quietly. Dem use the bodies as their message, and dem put the demand for justice for the front of the state authorities.
