LMAO! Oct. 1 Bomb Suspects Begin Hunger Strike Today

    THE three surviving suspects of the October 1,2010 bomb blast in Abuja, Charles Okah, Obi Nwabueze and Edmund Ebiware, are embarking on hunger strike from today to protest the death of their colleague, Francis Osuvwo (alias Gbokos).

The surviving accused persons said their lives were in danger and that they were no longer safe in the custody of the Nigerian Prison Service.

They insisted that everyday they spend in the Kuje Prisons puts them at the risk of their untimely death. They have consequently, 'decided to embark on hunger strike from March 5, 2012.'

Sources close to the prisons told The Moment that Osuvwo, who hailed from Ayakoromor/Kalafiugbene in Delta State, died on Friday night in prison where he had been detained with others since their arrest.

But another source confirmed that while it was true that Osuvwo actually died on Friday, March 3, 2012 in controversial circumstances.

The source explained that the suspect was confirmed dead at about 9.00p.m. last Friday at the Kuje Prisons Clinic and his corpse was taken to the National Hospital, Abuja. Shortly after, he added that some prison officials visited the National Hospital to confirm the death.

He lamented that Osuvwo was innocent of the offence he was accused of and for which he had paid the supreme price.

'Let the world know that the late Francis Osuvwo, is survived by an aged mother, wife, Philomena, a son, Kelvin, and four daughters. That he was an innocent man and he got the maximum punishment -death for a crime he knew nothing about,' he explained.

He said prior to their arraignment, 'the four men did not know themselves and had never met themselves, save for Charles Okah and Obi Nwabueze who had been family friends for a long time.'

He alleged that 'the first time the accused (persons) of the October 1st bombing saw themselves was at the interrogation room of the SSS Headquarters, Abuja, on the first day of their arraignment at the Federal High Court, Abuja, on December 7, 2010.'

Their lawyer, Festus Keyamo, who is also counsel to Charles Okah held for the same offence, had insisted that Osuvwo died 'on the heels of a series of complaints of maltreatment meted out to the accused persons.'

Sources, who corroborated largely Keyamo's claims, alleged that the final hours to the death of Osuvwo 'were really pathetic; he was left lying on the floor of his cell for days, immobile, stooling and peeing on himself with no medical attention from the prison doctors and nurses.

'The death of Francis Osuvwo can be attributed to the negligence of the Nigerian Prison Service, who have allowed themselves to be used as agents of persecution and the prison itself as a concentration camp where the four suspects have suffered various forms of inhuman treatment, including the fumigation of the suspects inside their cells.

'Francis Osuvwo reacted badly to the chemical components of the fumigant. Charles Okah too is in a critical state and everyone is praying that he too does not go the way of Francis Osuvwo.'

The prison authorities are yet to respond to Keyamo's or any other allegations on the death of Osuvwo.
