He prays that God Almighty will receive Oyamuyefa’s soul and comfort his grieving parents and siblings.’ As a parent i really pity the Alamieyeseigha’s and extends my heartfelt condolences to them. Having said that, the question that is begging for an answer inside me is why is it that when something tragic happened to the Politicians or moneybags in Nigeria that is when our government issued press released?
Lots of Nigerian youths have been murdered outside this country, to my amusement, Nigerian embassy in these countries refused to come up with any condemnation not to talk of government of Nigeria!
The most recent is that of Oloruntoba Oluwadamilola Falode, a 19 year old Nigerian student the only son of AIT Sports broadcaster and Confederation of African Football (CAF) executive, Aisha Falode, who was murdered in Dubai on the 15th of February 2014 ;nobody feel concerned then because they have no personal political gains to get or score with his death!!!
In Ghana for instance, a 300 level student of Social Sciences at the University of Cape Coast , Godwin Ayogu, was murdered in cold blood on February 20, 2014, with his killers yet to be brought to book
Another Nigerian student in the northern city of Arkhangelsk , Russia, Akinola Olufemi, was reportedly stabbed to death in southern Moscow, with his ears cut off.
Again, one Kelvin Chibueze ,17, a student in London, was stabbed to death at a birthday party in East London in August 2011 by one Lerone Boye , 27.
Baba femi Junaid , a 22-year-old Nigerian student was reportedly stabbed in the chest and in his bid to apparently rush to the nearest hospital, his car collided with a bus in Clapham Road, near Stockwell Tube station, south London, resulting in his death..
Forester Samson, 17,was murdered in Moscow, capital of Russia, on March 4, 2014, by yet-to-be-identified Russian gangsters
Solomon Okolo (March 2013): Student from Delta state. Killed by Malaysian citizens in the presence of Malaysian police officers after crashing his vehicle.
Onoche Martins (March 2012): Master degree student. Killed by Malaysian Police personnel’s after he allegedly outraged the modesty of a 43year old lady by hugging, kissing and exposing himself by 11am
I hope the government will do something quick to solve the mysteries surrounding the killings of these youths in foreign land.
