And according to Sule Abba, the inspector general, he followed due process and constitutionality by withdrawing Tambuwals security aids.
The question is, in whose interest is the withdrawal?
Definitely not Nigerians. Anyway, we keep our fingers crossed as more feelers come from Aso Rock.
Festus Keyamo a popular lawyer has written a
petition to the Inspector-General of Police, and
the Director-General of the State Security
Services, over an alleged threat to his life by
Mr. Government Ekpemupolo (Alias Tompolo).
Below is the letter dated Wednesday, October
29, 2014:
Dear Sirs,
THREAT TO KILL MR. FESTUS KEYAMO BY MR.
GOVERNMENT EKPEMUPOLO (ALIAS
TOMPOLO)
My name is Festus Keyamo. I am a Nigerian
citizen and a senior member of the legal
profession in Nigeria.
At exactly 10:13pm on Tuesday, October 28,
2014, I received a telephone call from one Mr.
Government Ekpemupolo (alias Tompolo) with
phone number 08027721208. We have been
acquaintances in the past, so I know his
numbers. After reaffirming that he is Tompolo
when I picked his call, he went straight to the
point by informing me that he wishes to inform
me that he and his “boys” will kill me by
beating me to death or shooting me anywhere
they can find me. And that the hunt for me is
on. His exact words in pidgin English was “we
dey look for you. Anywhere we see you,
whether for Lagos or Abuja or Warri, we go beat
you die or we go shoot you.”
He said he would kill me because I have
decided to take up the matter involving his
blood brother, Mr. George Ekpemupolo, who
was used to illegally substitute another
candidate, Mr. Weyinmi Omadeli (48 hours to
the election) in the Warri South-West L.G.A
elections that were concluded last Saturday in
Delta State. He said no one has ever
challenged his authority in Delta State. Kindly
find attached the open letter I wrote to
Governor Uduaghan of Delta State yesterday
which has sparked Tompolo’s determination to
kill me.
I asked Tompolo FIVE TIMES whether, he was,
in fact, threatening my life over an open line
and he said nobody in the country can do
anything about it by the time I am dead.
Co-incidentally, exactly three minutes after
Tompolo dropped his line, His Excellency,
Governor Udaughan called me at exactly
10.16pm, and I reported to him what just
transpired between Tompolo and myself. The
Governor promised to speak with him, but that
cannot be reassuring enough, and I know the
remedy in law against an intended murderer is
not to beg him but to ignite the criminal justice
system against him, no matter how comatose
that system is.
I know the subject of this petition, Tompolo, is
a favoured citizen of this government, and I am
not. I know Tompolo is close to those in power
at the moment, whereas I am an ordinary
citizen. I know Tompolo has money and
influence (which are factors that are widely
acknowledged to aid a suspect walk away with
murder in Nigeria), but I have none of these. I
know Tompolo has instrument to kill human
beings, and I have none.
In the circumstance, I am making this petition
public so that when you refuse to attend to my
complaint and outcry, the ordinary people of
this country will, at least, know from where my
death came and I will not join the long list of
unresolved murders. My killer, should, at least
be known.
Thank you for, at least, reading my petition.
Yours sincerely,
FESTUS KEYAMO, ESQ.

1. President and Commander-in-Chief,
Federal Republic of Nigeria,
Aso-Rock,
Abuja.
2. The Executive Governor of Delta State,
Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan

It’s normal for a vampire to crave the
blood of a virgin, but not a respected
research hospital.
So when the Peking University Cancer
Hospital in China put out a request for
ages 18 to 24, some people thought it
was bloody awful, according to AFP.
“Male virgins are not needed, just
females, how is this science?” posted
one highly-cited user of a Chinese
social media service similar to Twitter.
Hospital official spokeswoman Guan
Jiuping insisted the blood wasn’t for
some bizarre human sacrifice ritual. It
seems that researchers were doing
studies on the human papilloma virus
(HPV), which is usually transmitted
through s*xual contact.
“It’s in line with international practice
to collect female virgins’ blood samples,
which serve as negative control
substances in HPV research, given that
the risk of contracting HPV is low
among women who have never had
s*x,” Guan said, according to China
Daily. “Too much attention to sensitive
words like ‘virgin’ and ‘s*x’ is not
necessary in this context.”
Researchers said virgin blood is helpful
because risk for the virus is low among
women who have not had s*x, the
Metro reported.
So far, 50 self-proclaimed virgins have
donated their blood to
science, IBTimes.co.uk reported.
However, the number of actual virgins
may be smaller, because the hospital is
taking all the donors at their word.
