Our dad died in S’ Leonean peace mission, bandits killed his son in police, another gunned down in Kebbi – Aleji, brother of policeman killed by bandits in Birnin Yauri - Punch Newspapers

Sergeant Friday Aleji died of gunshot injuries due to his bravery even when others beat a retreat in the gun duel with rampaging bandits, who stormed the Federal Government College, Birnin Yauri, and whisked away 94 students and eight members of staff of the school. In this interview with ADENIYI OLUGBEMI, the deceased’s younger brother, Emmanuel Aleji, recounts how he lost his father and brothers to peacekeeping operationsSergeant Friday Aleji was my elder brother.

Are you also interested to continue your family tradition of national service by joining any of Nigeria’s security outfit? I am not interested in joining any of the security outfits, because those already gone are irreplaceable and those of us left behind are struggling to fill the vacuum left behind. With our father and two out of nine siblings already dead while in active service and another one still in service, I doubt if any other family can match this record. I think we have made appreciable and enough contributions to the security architecture of the country.

The stories about accessing benefits of officers who die in active service in Nigeria’s security outfits are mostly not palatable. What were your experiences in your late father and Godfrey Michael situations? I can recall we got their entitlements. Coincidentally, my late brother, late Sgt Friday Aleji happened to be our late father, Corporal Michael Aleji’s next of kin. When he started processing our late father’s benefits, that same 1999, it was like hell because my brother always travelling to Jos two, three times a week and he did that for about a year before the army authorities later moved the process to Lagos State. As of then, we knew nobody in Lagos State, sometimes my brother, late Sgt.

Tragedy of being a Nigerian

These are the sort of endings Nigeria soldiers and police and their families experience. Weird and tragic. The sins of the father. Yet the won’t stop being evil.

I thought Mazi Nnamdi Kanu abduction by Nigeria govt would have stopped this evil trend in your region
