Concerned Nigerian Groups Cite Impunity In Arrest Of Kogi Gov's Critic Austin Okai

By



We have received reports of the arrest & detention of Mr. Austin Okai, a well-known critic of the administration of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, by officers of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigerian Police Force.

2. Mr. Okai’s arrest,  detention & subsequent transfer to Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, has been confirmed by the Officer in Charge of SARS in Abuja. Mr. Okai was arrested by a SARS team led by ACP Kolo.

3. We condemn Mr. Okai’s arrest & detention in its entirety. Mr. Okai’s arrest is the latest chapter in a series of attempts to clamp down on free speech in Nigeria.

4. There are concerns over Mr. Okai’s safety & wellbeing. A few weeks ago, he was attacked & physically assaulted by political thugs. This arrest shows a probable link between that assault & the current government of Kogi State.

5. We call for Mr. Okai’s  unconditional release & an end to the absurd persecution of real & perceived political enemies.

6. We also call for governments all over Nigeria to show greater respect & regard for the rights of the Nigerian people as enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

7. God bless Nigeria.

Signed:
Deji Adeyanju  PDP Picks Deji Adeyanju As Director of New Media

The death of Ted Binion in September 1998 left many surprised till date. He was the son of the late Benny Binion, an iconic casino owner whose Horseshoe Club downtown gave rise to the World Series of Poker. The younger Binion abused illicit drugs and alcohol. He had a beautiful girlfriend half his age who worked briefly as a stripper and cheated on him. He had a hoard of silver bullion and coins that were stolen from their underground vault in the desert. And he was found dead at age 55 in his posh ranch-style home. The girlfriend and her lover — who had built the vault — were charged with murdering Binion and stealing the silver.

INSANE-WOMAN FORCED TO HAVE SEX WITH DEAD HUSBAND IN COFFIN,AFRICA MY AFRICA,WHY?

By
This is as bizarre as it gets. A woman was forced to have sex with her dead husband. And that too in his coffin. The woman, identified as Sarah Simirayi of Svisvi, Zimbabwe, carried out her estranged, deceased husband's demands by having sex with his body before burial. Sarah, who had left her husband for her new lover had recently moved back to her hometown after she was dumped by her lover. However, her estranged husband, Nunurayi Musamo, 68, died soon after she returned. In a note which Nunurayi left behind, he asked it to be read at his funeral. In the note, he had left a message for Sarah saying that he had died of a broken heart by missing her and asked that she make love to him before he is buried. Initially, she resisted, but after she was pressurised by the man's family, she accepted the task. A relative said that they opened the coffin and that Sarah reportedly got on top of Nunurayi's body and had sex. Relatives say the dead man was able to perform "quite sa...
