Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has accused Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, of being behind the deaths recorded yesterday at the popular Eke-Ukwu market in Owerri, the state capital.
In a series of tweets, Fani-Kayode rained abuses on Okorocha and insisted that it was not hate speech, when some of his followers labelled his posts as such.
He tweeted: “When will this pot-bellied illiterate, this filthy sodomite, this one-legged ritualist and this ravenous beast stop killing people in Imo?
“Calling a mass murderer a mass murderer,a racist a racist,a bigot a bigot,a monster a monster and a tyrant a tyrant is NOT hate speech.
“It is called speaking truth to power and it is the life-blood of democracy. Anyone that thinks otherwise needs to go back to school.”
The incidence which recorded the death of a 10-year-old boy and two others, has been roundly condemned (http://dailypost.ng/2017/08/27/nigerians-blast-okorocha-demolition-owerri-market/) after a video of the shooting emerged online.
