Fatalities everywhere: From London to Italy to the United States
July 8 2016 By Abiodun Giwa
A Nigerian killed in Italy on Tuesday after his wife was called a Monkey by one of his assailants.
The number of police officers killed in Dallas, Texas, in the United States, have increased to five, result of sniper attacks, following protests of the death of two black men, one in Minnesota and another in Louisiana.
The situation in Dallas is still dicey, prayers are being said as intervention.
The police chief said on Friday morning that he was uncertain all the men involved in gun battle against his men had been rounded up.
President Barack Obama has appealed for peace and Loretta Lynch, the attorney general has appealed for peace. She said that this has been a week of grieve and profound loss.
One suspect, said to be in the police custody, reportedly said he was angry over the lives of black men cut short by police officers in Louisiana and Minnesota. The report says the suspect said he was motivated to kill white people, especially white officers. Another report said that about four snipers positioned themselves in ambush against police officers at a parking garage and shot them from behind.
Many Americans were shocked on reading from Thursday's evening news reports about the incidence in Dallas as offshoot of incidences outside the city, a city far away from Minnesota and Louisiana, where two black men had lost their lives in fatalities with the police officers as shooters.
The drama is reported to have started from Louisiana on Wednesday, where a black man, Alton Sterling, was shown pinned down in front of a police car by two white police officers, before he was fatally shot on the chest, according to reports.
The public anger over the Louisiana incident had hardly settled, when another video surfaced from a young woman in Minnesota, who said her husband, was shot four times without any provocation, following encounter with police officers at a traffic checkpoint.
News reports have been rife with stories about what led to the killings in both Louisiana and Minnesota. The problem in Dallas reportedly stems from the black men killed by white police officers leading to protests of Black Lives Matters. How the matters in two different cities about the killing of two black men have culminated into the death of five police officers in a different city, where no one single life was taken by the police before protest there, is the crisis that has taken everyone unaware and one that the authorities are working to resolve.
The fatalities in Louisiana and Minnesota undoubtedly shocked the world, based on the videos that were shown on the internet. Just as the news of the two black men killed in the U.S. holds the world in suspense, news reports reveal the killing of a Nigerian 17 years old Nigerian student, Fola Orebiyi, on Sunday, before the incidences in the U.S.
Another Nigerian Emmanuel Chidi Namdi was killed in Italy last Tuesday, also before the incidence in the U.S, by a guy who was reported to have laid his hand on the Nigerian man's girlfriend and called her a monkey. The young woman's boyfriend, Namdi, questioned the stranger for his rationale for calling his girlfriend a monkey, when a group descended on him and hit him to the ground. He did not survive a hit to the back of his head.
The Nigerian student, Orebiyi, who was killed in London was said to have been stabbed with a knife to the back of his neck by his assailants.
