Nigerian entertainers in the music and movie world have all termed the UNIPORT killing as barbaric. Those who voiced out their grievances
on the Aluu community include actors and actresses such Jim Iyke, Yemi Blaq, Okey Bakassi, Grace Amah, Jennifer Eliogu, Emeka Duru, and musicians like Hon. Tony One-Week, Mr. Kool to mention but a few.

As the country struggles to come to terms with the extreme gruesomely murdered of the students by some illiterate mob from Omuokere Aluu community, Rivers State, Nigerian celebrities have decided not to stay mute on the matter.

Please read their comments:

Grace Amah (Nollywood Actress)

The incident was traumatizing, horrendous, barbaric, despicable, geeky and simply wicked to have taken place at this level of development of the human race. If nothing is done to stop this high level of barbarism in our land, it will add to the image challenges Nigeria is facing and puts a question mark on the leadership of the University authorities in Nigeria. We have laws, why wouldn’t the laws be applied where students infringe on them in matters as ordinary as stealing phones and laptops at a time our national source of economic growth-the oil is being stolen daily and the toil thieves are celebrated. Nigerians are waiting to get an answer from the authorities of the University of Port Harcourt and Jonathan government as to why such future in those young men will be wasted for nothing.

Okey Bakassi (Nollywood Actor/Comedian)

What we are experiencing today in Nigeria as exemplified by the Uniport killings is a demonstration of the collapse of the entity called Nigeria. It’s a failure of leadership at all levels: Executive, Judicial, Legislative, Religious, Cultural, etc., people are slow to love and quick to hate. The world is becoming more sophisticated in the act of wickedness. Where were the police all through the ordeal of those boys? In this GSM era…all those who supervised the barbaric killings of those young boys probably claim to know God. Shame on us all

Kelly Akara (Nollywood Actor)

It’s a very sad thing. Why did the people of that community take laws into their hands? No matter what they did, at least we have police stations where they can take them, rather than taking their lives. I watched the video, omg! I stand to condemn the barbaric act. I totally condemn what the vigilante group or whatever they call themselves did. So the state government should step in. Yea!

Jennifer Eliogu (Nollywood Actress)

Justice must take its course

Sylvanus Madu (Nigeria Actor)

It’s Barbaric and foolishness of the highest order. No human has the right to take another man’s life, not even with the law. That’s why some countries change their laws not to sentence to death but life in prison. I disagree with jungle justice, real madness. And to think that people were there watching and recording it with their phones shows the heartlessness and wickedness of the people in that area. Abi dem think say na home video abi stage play? It’s terrible how callous some Nigerians can be.

Patience Johnson (Nigerian Author)

I feel sad. This is very wrong. Why are heart of men so wicked?

Chigozie Atuanya (Nollywood Actor)

I’m not happy about the fools that killed those boys but God will see them.

Charles Abazie (Nollywood Actor)

The killing of the Uniport students was sadistic and inhumane. The village people in Port Harcourt should have handed them to the proper authorities. The people involved should be brought to book and properly prosecuted. We have laws in Nigeria and nobody is above the law.

Don Saint (Nigeria Musician)

This is the worst act I have ever seen in my whole life.

B’ Sala (Nigeria Musician)

I will advise people not to take laws into their hands. Everyone has the right to prove himself before the court of law. We are civilized people and we should respect the law. Those guys could have been accused falsely or could truly be guilty but they should have been handed over to the police for further investigation. We operate democracy and we should respect that. I am not in support of crime but I strongly object to people taking laws into their hands, and parents should train their children not to try to get what their parents cannot afford to give them through crimes.

L Chronicle (Nigeria Musician)

I think that act by the people that killed these students is an act of wickedness and it reminds us of the insecurity level in our country Nigeria. I mean where were those that were supposed to guard lives and protect properties? They were supposed to get to the scene before the jungle justice was carried out. Anyways, I think the real truth behind the story is not yet disclosed. This is my own opinion

Honorable Tony One-Week (Nollywood Actor and Musician)

It is a shame that in year 2012, we still experience what happened to these Uniport students that were illegally murdered based on allegation. A man is deemed innocent until he is found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction. I solidly stand with other concerned Nigerians to condemn this action in totality. This is barbaric jungle justice. Government must stand up to its job of securing life and property. Too bad.

Emeka Duru

I’ve seen the video. I didn’t know they were students, so bad. I understand they stole laptop and phone. This is barbaric dear I would have said yes to the killings if they had guns and had killed someone but just for laptop and phone? That’s bad. Not that I support stealing but they should have taken them to the police station.
