Aluu4: Never before seen pics of Chiadika, Iloyd, Tekena & Ugonna

Aluu4 victims: From left to right: Lloyd, Tekena, Ugonna and Chiadika as young boys. Writer and artist Okechukwu Ofili tells you what you didn't know about these 4 friends who lost their lives in the most gruesome manner on October 5th 2012. Read his article after the cut...



Written by Okechukwu Ofili

On October 2012, I had the privilege to meet with Jane Toku-Mike the mother of Lloyd…just several days after her son had been fatally beaten and torched for a crime that he did not commit. I was nervous about the meeting, I mean what do you tell a mother after losing her son in such a brutal manner? But we spoke and there was one thing she kept saying. And that was that she and all the other parents wanted people to know who their children were, that they were innocent, that they had dreams, that they had aspirations, that they were just like us…you and me.

So last month roughly a year after our first meeting, I asked Jane Toku-Mike if she had pictures of her son that I could use for a project I was working on … you can imagine my surprise when I received not just one but several dozen pictures of Lloyd and the other 3 children. Pictures scanned from a brochure titled Four Friends that was made in honor and remembrance of the aluu4. A brochure filled with never before seen pictures of the children, as babies, in church, in school on visiting day. Just normal everyday pictures with words from family describing their sons.

And I just had to share it, not to stoke another endless debate about the hopelessness of Nigeria or whose fault it was that aluu4 happened. But rather to do something to ensure that the aluu4 victims get justice and to remind the parents that we the people of Nigeria have not forgotten. But more importantly that we will not forget. We will keep fighting for their sons, until they get justice.

And we can fight this fight. All they need from us is to keep their children in the news cycle so that the courts know that we are watching and that we will not be silent if justice is stolen from them.
So feel free to share these pictures, this article, these words, even steal from the article, but get the word out. You can start with publicizing their November 14th court case at High Court 21 in Port Harcourt. If you stay in Port Harcourt, go out there and support, take pictures. Report the news, post it on your blog, ping it, whatsapp it, instagram it, let it spread. Its the little we can do.
Enjoy the below pictures and words from their family. I was moved and I am sure you will too…



Lloyd Toku Mike

The name Lloyd means excellent, little wonder he was a wonderful child even from birth

At the age of five was able to draw creatively anything he sets his eyes on, including the Nigerian coat of arms.
Born on the 21″ of November 1993 to the family of Mr. & Mrs. Toku Mike of Okikike War Canoe House, Ogbogbo town in Okirika Local Government Area of Rivers State.

He then attended New Covenant Secondary School, Borokiri. Port Harcourt. Where he met one of his childhood friends the Late Tekena F. Elkanah.

He later enrolled into another Secondary School the Niger Delta Science School where he met his roommate, soul mate and closest friend, Late Ugonna Obuzor. He was the winner of the Third edition of the Silverbird Musical show called turp rap battle for upcoming artists in Rivers State.

As a determined student who saw life as though difficult, but worth struggling for, with the support of his parents and siblings went again in 2012 for a certificate Programme in computer Science Curriculum.

It was while running this programme that this young star met his brutal death together with his friend Lloyd Toku Mike and others, on October 5th 2012.

Ugonna was fondly called “Ugo boy” by his Dad and Tipsy by his close friends Ugonna was indeed the best any sibling could think of and have.
He was a young man that always dreamed big. He had a thinking mind and believed that dreams could come true if you put your mind on it. He had always said, he will be a graduate at the age of twenty (20).
Ugonna, as a geology undergraduate was already looking forward to his industrial attachment and youth service programme.

  15. May their souls be at peace ......

    Young promising lives that only their killers and their generation will ever dream of...

    The killers took their body...but rest assured their soul and spirit are with The Lord.

    May those killers and all those that watched this murders without trying to help never find peace.

    I certainly won't worry if we don't find justice on earth..I know that these killers will stand before God with saints and with Lloyd, TK,Chiadka and Ugonna and be judged...
    That is the ultimate judge...

    May the family find some comfort in The Lord till they return to heaven...

  50. Thanks Linda & Ofili. When I heard about them last year, my mind went to my kid brother who was also born in 1992 and was an undergrad in one of the universities. It made me realise that it could so easily have been him.

    No one deserves such a brutal death, not especially young men like these. That's why I refuse to watch the video of their death, it would be like watching my own brother's death.

    I hope we as the youths of this country will realise that what affects someone in another community or state also has the potential of affecting us eventually. If we keep silent when another is being hurt, it is only a matter of time before we too face the music.

    Let's make the effort and sacrifice necessary to fight against injustice and evil. For those who live in Port Harcourt, please take time to show solidarity with the family of these young men. Go to court and show interest in justice. We have to let the Nigerian Judiciary know that this case is too important to be swept under carpet.

    Continue to rest in peace dear brothers, we will never forget. May God continue to give strength and comfort to your families and loved ones, amen.
    Thanks again Ofili and Linda Ikeji for your efforts to remind us of these young men.

  55. Hi Linda, every time I come across any article on these boys I weep for them, I weep for their parents, family, friends and loved ones!!!
    I weep for my country and generation yet unborn for the moral decadence and this great injustice done to these lads!!! In fact I feel so guilty despite not even living in the country at the time of this incident, I'm yet to get over the video of this heinous crime and I know I never will!!!
    May their beautiful soul rest in eternal peace and I pray as a mother that may their parents especially be consoled by God and may they be blessed wherever they are...
    Thanks for the constant reminder this piece is so emotional and I'm so much in tears right now.

I believe the video is on youtube, but I hope you have the "stomach" for it, or else let it be. It's extremely horrific. It also tells you how barbaric we are in this Country, because what was done to these boys, is insane and I will never wish it for even my worst enemy. And they died for what fuc***** mobile phones or whatever the fu**it was!!!

Its not easy to watch your child being accused faslely not to talk of being killed I'm sure she even saw the video. The painful truth about this is just that after this long and heart touching article, justice might not still be done. We can only pray for spiritual justice. Human justice has failed us in this country. God will certainly never fail us.

  130. I'm commenting out of respect for the families of these boys,for days after the gruesome incident that cut short their lives,I couldn't comprehend much,I couldn't understand much,I couldn't wrap my head around the incident,I was scared to go out,scared to interact wiv pple,I just couldn't understand,and the truth is I still don't understand.I can't fathom the unimaginable pain their families are going thru,I've lost a sibling,so I know u never forget,there's always smn to remind u,a memory shared,a smile,a word,even the color of a t-shirt,the places uve been together,I pray the God I seek everyday of my life grants u the fortitude to bear the loss.Jehovah does not sleep,He is the God of Vengeance,and His pay back is worse oh so much worse than any court in the world can mete out.Rest in peace Tekenah,Lloyd,Ugonna,and Chiadika.there's no love anywhere,not in the city not anywhere except in God.

    Your indeed amazing for not letting this story die. This particular post brought me to tears, such wonderful young men, it's indeed a great loss and only God can console these families. I wish I live in PH I would have been in court that day. May thier soul find peace in God.

  150. I am sure if they were government children(president,senator,minister etc) justice would have been long given them but cos they are just citizens like us our goernment have chosen to pay deaf ears,this simply shows the irony and decadence in our 'lion of Africa' I strongly believe that God will grant them justice which will surpass what our 'supposed' judiciary can offer.RIP brothers may God console their families and friends Amen.

  162. I saw Ugonna's dad @ NDDC today(he works there) and it just brought it all crashing on me again. My heart felt so heavy when I remembered how that poor man and the other parents and family members must have sufferred! I am nt a family member or friend,but my heart broke then and it still breaks to this day when I remember that cursed morning of october,5th...but God, why did u allow that day break? Why did u decide to abandon ur children dat day? How they must have prayed and called on God to save them seeing that man couldn't. How they suffered! I m wiping away tears frm my eyes as I type this. Man has become beast...Man has become prey;where is my refuge...where am I safe?(Nightfall in soweto by oswald mtshali). Justice must be done for this innocent boys,for their families and friends and all of us who need closure. RIP Ugonna,Lloyd,Tekana and Chiadika. I know u re all together in a better place where no one can hurt u no more. Sleep on,sweethearts. Sleep well,little brothers.

  168. For every one iv lost along life's journey, there is a scar in my heart that will never heal. i never knew these boys personally but i cried my heart out when the news broke on october 5th. I am an ex student of UNIPORT, I lived in Aluu. There is a kindred spirit that makes this hurt like they were my brothers. Ten years from this event, it will still hurt to think of this, to remember how these boys were killed like dogs in the street. Oh Jesus!! where is your mercy? where is your rod of wrath for those who have taken laws into their own hands? King of the universe, dost thou sleep? life goes on but it will never be the same like it was before that october 5th. sleep on brothers, you are always thought of.
