Nigeria soldiers on deathrow allegedly being starved of food & water

According to a report by Sahara Reporters, soldiers who were sentenced to death for mutiny last year are allegedly being starved to death. The report below...

Sahara Reporters has learnt of a covert plan to ‘kill’ a group of soldiers who were arrested late last year on charges of mutiny and attempted murder. The soldiers who have been held since September last year managed to reach out to the outside world via text messages, using the opportunity to reveal the conditions they are being held in.

In an initial message, they sent this text to our reporter: “Greetings sir, we are the 12 soldiers sentenced to death \others detained at CIC Apapa, Lagos. We are to inform you that following our denial of access to our families, councils & even access to fund [sic] to feed our families\pay our legal fees, that as you know, we had been concealing our cell phone to help us hear from counsels.

The phone was collected on 6\5\15, in view of this, we have not been fed, We are on hand-cuff & leg chain, we are kept naked [sic] & deprived of even drinking water. As it stands now sir, our lives  are at stake. We, therefore, plead with due respect that you intervene”.  Our reporter then followed up trying to call the number but met with no success. 

After a while, one of the accused reached our reporter again, this time in a voice call with a frantic message. “They are trying to kill us. They want to kill us” the voice said. He went on to inform our reporter that the authorities have noticed that they have access to a cell phone and have therefore resorted to using starving techniques as a form of punishment. He said they had not been fed nor given any water for about five days.

Last year the story broke of some 12 soldiers who were reined in by the military authorities for allegedly refusing to confront Boko Haram militants and firing at their commanding officer in the northeastern city of Maiduguri in May. The soldiers were reportedly angry after a convoy was ambushed on a road frequently targeted by Islamist Boko Haram militants and decided to protest to the authorities who they blamed for underequipped and underpaying them.

Eminent men & women were in tears at GEJ's thanksgiving service today - Doyin Okupe

Doyin Okupe says the farewell and thanksgiving service organized for President Jonathan at the Church of the Advent in Abuja today May 10th was an emotionally charged one that saw some eminent Nigerians dabbing their eyes. See what he wrote on Facebook below.

Thanksgiving service was held in honour of President Jonathan and his wife. It was a lovely event though quite an emotional one too. I saw eminent men and women dabbed their eyes. I struggled with mine.

This is part of the disengaging ceremonies. In a few days President Jonathan will bow out of office gracefully and graciously.

President Jonathan has done well and served his country well. He exits office as a great President. Perhaps Nigeria's greatest President for all time. Greater than the best before him. He excelled in achievement, in humility, tranquility and simplicity.

Nigerians misunderstood meekness for weakness, Restraint for lack of strength, reticence for inaction and calmness for indecisiveness.
But History will judge differently. He will be remembered as a great man, a good man, humble and humane, purposeful and focused. A great African Hero who fought against all manners of evil and conspiracies Religious, ethnic, national and international, and lost the war. But ultimately triumphed be cause of the inherent goodness that God Almighty deposited in Him. For he said " My ambition is not worth the life of any Nigerian'

Alas!! He meant what he said and stood by what he said even to his detriment and millions who believed in him.

Nigerians don't weep for Jonathan. Rather weep and pray that our Nation will remain United and stable, that it's people will prosper and that God will guide our in coming leaders
Right and endow them with the competency of His Wisdom to lead us aright.

We bow out with malice to no man and goodwill to all.
Personally I thank God for another opportunity to serve a second Nigerian President. I have no regrets only joy and peace.

I stood for Jonathan. I still stand by him and he will always be my President weather winning whether losing, in victory and in defeat..
Glory be to God.
May God BLESS NIGERIA.
