#EndSARS - Abacha Is Alive

February 17, 2021

Abacha is alive reincarnated in ‘Agbada’ and a well pressed suit, at his order innocent Nigerians were murdered at Lekki and other cities

1.The days of

Brutalizing

Innocent citizens,

The era of

Strangulating

Dissenting throats,

The junta of

Bullets and blood

We thought died

After Abacha swallowed

That apple,

But we were

Wrong

 

2. The atmosphere of fear

Of the forces

That be

Gliding between rooms

In Aso Rock

And their minions

In State Houses,

Fear of being ‘wasted’

For embracing Human

Rights

And then actually being wasted

Like M.K.O.  Abiola

Kudirat Abiola

Dele Giwa

And everyone

Recently murdered

At Lekki

With nobody

Held to account,

These fears

We thought got

Buried

As Abacha’s body

Was swallowed

By earth

But we were

Wrong

 

3. Abacha is

Alive

Reincarnated

In ‘Agbada’

And a well pressed suit,

At his order

Innocent Nigerians were

Murdered

At Lekki

And other cities

By bullets

Purchased

With their taxes,

And though he 

Quickly erected a

Deceitful

Judicial panel

No justice will be served

As he is the 

Accused

 

4. Abacha is

Alive

Resurrected and

Now more intolerant

Of peaceful protests,

He is the constituted

Authority

And with the heels

Of his boots

He will crush anyone

Brave enough

‘To look his Uche

In the eyes,’

Fire for fire

He will kill

Harmless citizens

Holding flags

Singing the

Nigerian

Anthem,

He is at

Alausa,

He is in the Villa

Aso,

He never died

The real Abacha

Is Alive
