STOP THE MASSACRE OF NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS

Introvigne: fermare subito il massacro dei cristiani nigeriani. L’Italia sta facendo bene, ma da sola non basta

By Studio Bilbo on 9 luglio 2012 

 

«Una strage annunciata»: così il sociologo Massimo Introvigne, coordinatore dell’Osservatorio della Libertà Religiosa istituito il mese scorso dal ministero italiano degli Esteri, definisce il massacro avvenuto nel week-end nello Stato nigeriano del Plateau, allorché i guerriglieri islamisti di Boko Haram hanno attaccato nove villaggi cristiani mietendo almeno novanta morti.

«Dall’inizio dell’anno ogni domenica in Nigeria si ripete un rito osceno e macabro in cui i cristiani che vanno in chiesa sono massacrati dal movimento ultra-fondamentalista islamico Boko Haram e dai suoi complici. I morti nel 2012 sono più di seicento, quelli uccisi negli ultimi dodici anni oltre diecimila», spiega lo studioso. Ma «il tempo delle belle parole è scaduto. Anzi, continuando a non reagire rischiamo tutti di abituarci all’orrore e di vedere queste notizie scivolare nelle pagine interne dei giornali».

Ecco allora l’idea, decisiva. Occorre «anzitutto – dice il coordinatore dell’Osservatorio – aiutare le forze di sicurezza nigeriane, che non ce la fanno da sole. La missione italiana della settimana scorsa in Nigeria, guidata dall’inviata speciale per le emergenze umanitarie del Ministero degli Esteri Margherita Boniver, ha indicato la via da percorrere con la proposta di collaborazione bilaterale in materia di sicurezza, che il nostro Osservatorio s’incaricherà di far conoscere e approfondire. Ma l’Italia da sola non basta, deve muoversi l’Europa».

Quindi bisogna «rendersi conto che l’emergenza non è nigeriana ma continentale. L’Unione Africana e le altre organizzazioni internazionali devono prendere atto che la strage di cristiani in Africa è una delle grandi emergenze umanitarie del secolo, e lavorare a una strategia regionale che isoli e colpisca le centrali ideologiche e militari del terrorismo anti-cristiano. A partire dalle regioni del Nord del Mali, di fatto controllate da al-Qa’ida, e da una buona metà della Somalia, dove lo Stato non esiste. Il Mali e la Somalia non sono problemi locali, perché da queste “zone franche” del terrore partono armi e odio che colpiscono i cristiani in tutto il continente».

C’è qualcuno in ascolto?

Sex Exports from Benin to Mali

In what appears like a recurrent cycle of shame, the men of Nigeria Immigration Services have foiled an attempt to export five Edo girls into slavery. The five teenagers and one boy were intercepted with a suspected human trafficker, simply identified as Stella Daniel, from Cross River State at Seme border as they were trying to enter neighbouring Republic of Benin enroute war-torn Republic of Mali.

The girls, Blessing, Abigael , Ella Ojo, Faith and Isabella and Lucky, the only boy, (other names withheld) had quietly absconded with Daniel to chase the proverbial Golden Fleece in Mali. They all claimed ignorance of the civil war in the country of their destination. For them, the attraction to work in a bar abroad was too tempting to ignore.

The promise of N30,000CFA, equivalent of N10,000 monthly, was more than enough consideration to ‘escape’ from the allure of love and care of their parents. They confessed to have sworn to on oath with their madam not to run away until they have fully refunded her through services to customers. However, the alertness of the eagle eyes men of Nigeria Immigration Service at the border post saved them from what appears like exportation into sex slavery in foreign land.

According to the Comproller of Immigration Services (CIS) at the border, Julius Ogbu, who explained the circumstances of the arrest of the girls and their madam to Crimewatch, the appearance of a woman and young girls of college age almost in the same age bracket aroused the suspicion of the officers. The suspicion of the officers was confirmed, when, upon interrogation, none of them had any traveling document while their destination also raised more curiosity.

“They said that were going to work in a restaurant for the trafficker. She said she recruited them from Nigeria. Incidentally, neither the trafficker nor any of the girls had traveling documents.“More curious was the fact that none of their parents was aware they were traveling outside the country. That was why we had to detain them and conducted further interrogation. By the time we put our facts together, we came to a conclusion that it was actually a case of human trafficking. Number one, no traveling document; number two, their parents and relatives were not aware that they were leaving the shore of this country.

“And their age is between 18 and 20. Only one of them is 22. That is the age they gave us in our records. They all claimed they were from Edo State. “By virtue of our training: you are trained to be a border patrol officer and patrol prepares you for jobs in mega routes while control officers are those you see in the main borders. You’re also trained to be very vigilant so that any movement that is suspicious, you apprehend, and interrogate and then you refer.

“At the end of the day, you come into a conclusion. So, on this night when they came out of the bus, it aroused the suspicion of our men. The driver and the bus are still being detained because we have not been able to ascertain if they are culpable or not. We want to know if they boarded the vehicle as just routing passengers or not. The National Agency for the Prohibition of Traffic in Persons (NAPTIP), the agency responsible for cases of human trafficking will be able to give their verdict along that line after we have handed them over to them.

“We always warn the transporters to be careful of strange movements. If you have five young girls, traveling with a woman and you could easily infer they are not her children, then you should be suspicious. Ours is to apprehend and hand the suspects to NAPTIP. By the time they conclude their investigation they will assist those girls to re-unite with their families while the trafficker will face prosecution,” he said.

While our reporter was still at the border with the officers, mother of one of the girls, Mrs Oforue Imagbosoria, came in tears all the way Edo from Benin State, in search of her daughter, who she claimed had disappeared since penultimate Sunday. She said her daughter called her on GSM and apologised for her conduct.
Her words: “My daughter just called me yesterday and informed me that she had been arrested. She just called me and said, ‘Mummy, I beg you to forgive me; they don catch me for road.’ I asked her, where you dey go my pikin? She said she dey Lagos. She said it was a woman from Cross River State that carried her to swear juju because she wanted to carry her travel abroad.

She explained that her daughter disclosed that she and her friends were at Seme border. “So, that was how I came from Benin,” she stressed. According to her, Abigael’s action was very strange because she had been well catered for by her parents.

“We made sure she does not lack anything. She said it was her friends that introduced her to the woman,” she said.
The alleged trafficker in a chat with our reporter, however, insisted that the decision to take the girls to the foreign country was motivated by compassion and pity. “Although I needed one girl and one boy to work in my restaurant and bar in Mali, I decided to take others along out of pity and from what they told me,” she said.
Madam Daniel, who claimed to have spent three and half years in Mali where she has a boyfriend, who she has a daughter for, said she planned to accommodate the girls in her apartment and that she promised to pay them N10,000 each every months as remuneration.

She confessed that she did not obtain any document to facilitate their traveling since the route is familiar to her. “I myself, I don’t have any paper because I do not know that I need to collect papers to travel,” she said.
She spoke on how she recruited the girls: “When I came for Easter, I told them where I was staying in Benin that I needed one boy and one girl to take along with me when I’m returning to Mali. My plan was that the boy would be operating the bar while the girl would take care of the restaurant.

So, they brought a girl and a boy to me.
“However, others started coming and said they must follow me. One of them said she was an orphan, two others joined us and started crying that they had nobody to support them. I told them, I didn’t have enough money but they were crying. So, I decided to help them. This one (pointing to one of the girls) came on Sunday morning, the day we wanted to leave Benin. She was crying.

She said she must follow us. I told her that I didn’t have enough money to take us to Mali but if we get to Cotonou, I could make phone call so that they would send money to us. I asked her to go and bring her parents because I could not take anybody away without the consent of her parents, who must also stand as surety. The one that said she didn’t have parents, I asked her to bring her sisters or any close relation.

“Now, in the morning we found this one (Abigael) waiting outside, crying that she must follow us. When I asked her to go and bring her parents, she said no. That was how they started crying. They said that life is tough for them because they don’t have any care from their parents.

It was the way they explained their plight to me that made me to accept them.”

Accusato di stupro su minore, due anni in cella da innocente

Il caso

Il 33enne assolto: "Mi hanno rubato un pezzo di vita"

Tribunale( foto Ansa)

Modena, 12 aprile 2012 - Due anni in carcere da innocente. E’ la storia di un 33enne nigeriano, arrivato in Italia con la speranza di sfuggire alla povertà ma che qui, invece, si è scontrato con le falle del sistema giudiziario, scontando una carcerazione preventiva infinita, per poi essere assolto in primo grado dalla gravissima accusa di violenza sessuale su una minorenne.

L’uomo è stato assolto «perché il fatto non sussiste» dopo quasi 24 mesi trascorsi dietro le sbarre: era detenuto in carcere a Modena dal 7 maggio 2010 in attesa di un processo che si è concluso solo nei giorni scorsi e che gli ha ridato la libertà.
 

Il 33enne era accusato di aver violentato una ragazzina di 15 anni con problemi psichici: era stata lei a denunciarlo raccontando alle forze dell’ordine di essere stata palpeggiata pesantemente dal nigeriano, che l’aveva portata in un appartamento di Castelfranco. L’uomo fu subito arrestato e partì un’inchiesta chiusasi con la richiesta di rinvio a giudizio dell’immigrato, che si è sempre detto innocente.

La giustizia, si sa, ha i suoi tempi, tempi lunghissimi, e finalmente dopo due anni il nigeriano è stato assolto: nel frattempo, però, è rimasto in carcere. «Mi hanno rubato due anni di vita», ha detto al suo avvocato, Ottavia Lardizzone, l’unica persona che gli ha creduto, dopo che il giudice ha pronunciato la sentenza. Ogni volta che il legale lo andava a trovare in carcere, lui ripeteva: «Non capisco perché sono qui, non ho fatto nulla di male».
 

«Con questa sentenza — commenta l’avvocato Lardizzone — è emerso che il nostro sistema giudiziario ha delle falle». La ragazzina aveva incontrato l’immigrato nel parcheggio dell’ospedale di Bologna nella primavera di due anni fa: era fuggita dal reparto di psichiatria. Lui l’aveva aiutata e poi insieme avevano raggiunto Castelfranco Emilia in autobus.

«Abbiamo mangiato una pizza insieme — ha raccontato al giudice l’immigrato, che non ha mai perso un’udienza — Poi siamo andati a casa di un mio conoscente, sempre a Castelfranco, e abbiamo trascorso la giornata insieme. Ma non l’ho mai violentata». 

La ragazzina, in questi due anni, ha fornito sei versioni dei fatti, tutte diverse: all’inizio aveva raccontato di aver subito molestie e di essere riuscita a scappare, poi si essere stata violentata, per poi fornire racconti sempre differenti, l’ultimo durante l’esame protetto di un mese fa . Malgrado ciò, il nigeriano non è mai stato creduto, nemmeno dopo la testimonianza ‘fumosa’ del proprietario dell’appartamento in cui la 15enne diceva di essere stata violentata.

Il pm, per lui, aveva chiesto una pena di due anni. Ma prove concrete contro non ce n’erano, nemmeno un referto medico che attestasse il presunto stupro. E alla fine, infatti, il 33nne ha avuto ragione. Innocente perché il fatto non sussiste e libero. Peccato, però, che abbia trascorso due anni della sua vita in carcere.
