A “sleeping dog” will be awakened this evening at 8:30pm as Joy News screens it’s special assignment documentary on how three superior court judges (and a retired military officer) were heartlessly dispatched into eternity in the early 80s.
My reaction to this documentary is mixed. A part of me is eager to watch and to discover more - if only the documentary will reveal something new, beyond what is already in the public domain.
The other half of me is like, hold on, do we really want to wake this wild “beast” up? Do we really want to scrape the wound/scar that took so long to heal (or perhaps, is still healing)? Will the documentary be that deep to tell us something new - the real stuff we want to hear?
Aside the judges, will the documentary give details about the abduction and murder of Major Rtd. Sam Acquah too? He is often lost in narratives about the killing. The reason?
I am thinking, how do we “appease” the souls of the departed, soothe the sorrow of the families and related parties whose hearts ache at the recall or mention of the injustice visited on them?
Is it time to tell the perpetrators of the heinous crime something in their faces?
In my mind, I am like, what next after the documentary?
