Got this mail last week but decided not to post it. Got an update on it yesterday and decided to write about it.
The young man in the picture above is Adebisi Adeoye Adepegba and he was murdered in cold blood under questionable circumstances in Gabon. (Had his eyes and lungs plucked out at an event)
That aside, the Nigerian community or rather yoruba community in Gabon is having issues with The Nigerian Embassy cos they’ve refused to give them clearance to bring Adebisi’s body to Nigeria and bury him and his body has been in a room decaying.
My question is this; since Nigerian Embassy is not helping matters, why not bury him in Gabon (Yoruba or no Yoruba) rather than allowing him decay to that extent?
Read the unedited letter when you continue and also pictures of what Adebisi looks like now is included so VIEWERS DISCRETION IS EXTREMELY ADVISED
It is regrettable to inform the public that Nigerian diplomats accredited to the Embassy of Nigeria in Gabon have transformed the Mission into a symbolic horror for Nigerians. As Nigerians, we expect these diplomats to enhance our foreign policy objectives and the welfare of Nigerians among others, but unfortunately these diplomats have become tyrants, using violence and humiliation as their daily agenda for Nigerians.
With our daily experience in Gabon, Nigeriansare being deprived of the right to consider themselves worthy of responsibility for their own lives and dignity. This feeling of humiliation grows day by day as our reason and human status were being deeply insulted everyday to accept all the vulgarity which makes up the abortive mental world of these diplomats. Moreover, they keep on witch-hunting people suspected to be capable of disseminating information about their Machiavellian and corrupt practices to put the Nigerian community on hypothetical suspense. Today, four Nigerian corpses 1) MONDAY MASSADE, 2)AKPANEYO DAVID UMO, 3)EKONG SUNDAY,and 4) ADEBISI ADEOYE ADEPEGBA who died of brutal circumstances in Gabon lay decaying in themorgues without the Embassy signs of concerns. The most embarrassing and heartlessness demonstration of these diplomats is the case of ADEBISI ADEOYE ADEPEGBA. These diplomats in their abhorrent attitudes even invited the Gabonese gendarmes as usual to arrest the Nigerians in protest against their negligence and lack of diplomatic capability.
The late ADESIBI ADEOYE ADEPEGBA’s story is very pathetic, and indeed it shows wicked and heartlessness of our diplomats. According to our finding, On Sunday, the14th of April 2013 at about 1.30pm ADEPEGBA, a taxi driver was invited as extra driver to a ceremony. At 7pm the family received a call from one Mr Dolo, who informed them of his disappearance from the party venue. The mystery of the disappearance became confusing when the family called his phone number again at 8.00pm and the correspondence was the same Dolo who had earlier announced him missing.After all night searching with no avails, his body was finally discovered on Monday morning floating in water close to the lieu of the ceremony with his eyes and the lung cut off (see picture). The Ambassador was informed of the incident on Tuesday at 12.12pm.He directed the people to contact his deputy Mr WILFRED OBIMAH, and this was done immediately. Mr OBIMAH requested for an official written report that was provided accordingly (see copy). With all these, the embassy turns deaf ears to their predicaments despite the people frequent approaches for diplomatic intervention.
After a week of betrayal and disappointment from the embassy, there came a non-violence protest on Monday, 22nd of April 2013 at the embassy’s gate (see picture).Mr WILFRED OBIMAH, of his evil characterization invited the gendarmes to arrest the people. The gendarmes who got to know the facts of the story also became disappointed and urged him tomeet the people. Finally, when the egomaniac came out amidst the gendarmes (see picture), his statements were so ridiculous of humanitarian instincts, despite the horrific pictures and the circumstances of ADEPEGBA’s death related to these diplomats,Mr OBIMAH admitted that the embassy did not consider any complain because the information came through a Kwara man while the decease is supposed to be a Lagosian, they could only have acknowledged complain from a Lagosian. To this he received a yell from the crowd. Again, according to Mr OBIMAH the embassy has refused to interfere in the matterbecause the letter written to the Missionwas wrongly authored. Again another yell, then requested a new letter in plain sheet.
To cover his up his wickedness and shameful reactions, Mr OBIMAH called on one Mr Sunday Lucky from Delta State at about 2.00pm the same day to inform him that the Yoruba people have come to dump a corpse at the embassy’s gate. He did this for MrLucky’s reinforcement of Delta people against the Yorubas, only for Lucky to discover that Mr OBIMAH is a fanatic liar.
Your Excellency, the others MONDAY MASSADE died of electrocution in police custody, every effort to get the embassy involvement to seek justice proved abortive.AKPANEYO DAVID UMO, and EKONG SUNDAY,died in their sick beds when the families failed to secure financial aid of 180,000fr and 220,000fr respectively from the embassy. These compatriots lost their lives for the sums equivalents of55,000 and 66,000 naira only because of the wickedness of these diplomats.Their corpses lay decaying in Gabon morgues till date. These diplomats feel rapture when they shut themselves away from Nigerians in their depressing vast offices, except when there are possibilities to create financial benefice to themselves.
These diplomats do not have time for Nigerians apart from their daily concentrations on consular cards, issuance of birth certificates which yield them hundreds of thousands of francs. They also keep on witch-hunting people who can expose them for humiliation, making freedom of information a crime in Gabon. Reporting exigent issues never have suits, and writing to the foreign office becomes another laudable crime to their conscience. To these diplomats the Nigerians in Gabon are illiterates and be treated as the uncultured.
We believe the only power of ordinary citizens is through the voice of the media. This will make the federal government and Nigerians know of the predicaments Nigerians pass by daily, and the diplomats’ negligence and unconcerned attitudes. Foreign Minister should know this. Nigerians are dying.
