Shehu Sani Chastises Nigerians Celebrating COAS’ Death

Former Senator representing Kaduna North, Shehu Sani has chastised Nigerians celebrating the death of the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Ibrahim Attahiru.

Lieutenant Ibrahim Attahiru died yesterday the 21st of May, 2021 alongside other top military officers in a military Beachcraft aircraft in Kaduna while on their way to an official assignment.

While most Nigerians mourn their deaths, Sani on his official Facebook page has alleged that some Nigerians were rejoicing over the unfortunate incident.

He said;

“When Abacha died, some people gloated. When the members of the IMN were callously massacred in Zaria, some people celebrated. When Nnamdi Kanu lost his parents, some people were happy.

And now some people are delighted over the tragedy that led to the loss of our gallant officers; Of what use is a mortal rejoicing over the death of another mortal?

Where is our empathy and humanity? Why have we become so evil in life and death?”

Reacting to the incident, President Muhammadu Buhari tweeted last night expressing his sadness over the airplane crash.

Several other notable Nigerians have also expressed their condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims.
