Lagos lawyer, Festus keyamo, has written
a petition to the Comptroller General of
Nigeria Prisons, over allegations of acts
of sodomy taking place in Kuje Prison, in
the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
In the petition dated Tuesday, Keyamo
complained that his client, Mr Charles
Okah, elder brother of jailed Henry
Okah, was almost Molested by some
prison officials on the pretext that they
wanted to confirm if he had stuffed some
substance in his anus.
According to the petition, “On
Wednesday, 3rd July, 2013, at about 6.30
am, some prison warders, specifically
Mr. Isah Musa (the chief clerk), Mr.
Tanko Gokuje, (the assistant yard master)
and three (3) other prison warders
(hereinafter referred to as the culprits)
entered our client’s cell (No.1) and
demanded to search his anus because
they claimed they had information that
he was hiding ‘incriminating’ materials
therein. Before entering his cell, they
made sure all other inmates were locked
up in their cells.”
The lawyer maintained that although
his client protested the so-called
examination, the warders
overwhelmed him in the cell, and
when he eventually allowed the
examination to be carried out, he saw
Musa, the chief clerk, undressing,
armed with a full and “sustained”
Attention of his organ, forcing him
(Okah) to raise the alarm, calling for
help.
According to the petition, Okah had
heard of such acts of sodomy within the
prison among other inmates. But until
that fateful morning, he had not
experienced it.
In his words: “Having heard from other
inmates in the past that this is a known
pattern used by warders to sodomise
inmates, our client initially resisted the
attempt, but was forced to succumb after
much pressure and insistence by the
culprits.
“However, having succumbed, to the
utter shock and dismay of our client, he
saw that Mr. Isah Musa pulled off his
clothes and with the sustained Attention
attempted to carry out the acts of
sodomy on him. To achieve this, our
client was then held to the ground by Mr.
Tanko Gokuje and three (3) other
warders. Our client had to intensify his
struggle and resistance to prevent the
completion of the criminal act. Our
client screamed for help and this was
heard by other inmates.”
Keyamo said although the report of the
incident was made, the prison authorities
led by DCP Felix Lawrence, pleaded with
Okah not to formalise the complaint and
urged him to “kill the report”.
The lawyer noted that “this criminal act
has been reported as a common and
recurring phenomenon in the Nigerian
prisons. It simply shows the despicable
level of moral decadence of the officers
who are paid to take charge of prison
inmates.”
While urging the Comptroller General of
Prisons to investigate the allegation,
Keyamo called for the application of
“appropriate sanctions” on those found
wanton in the case.

LATEST PREVENTION OF STROKE.
A fatty diet affects more than your ability to fit
into your favourite jeans. Research in the
journal Circulation found belly fat increases
your risk of a stroke. To reduce the risk, take a vitamin B
complex every day. Researchers at the Swiss
Cardiovascular Centre in Bern found men
taking a combination of three B vitamins had 40 per
cent lower levels of homocysteine, a substance
linked to stroke risk.
Taking the pills gets easier when you link it with
other daily events, says Cynthia Rand, director
of the Johns Hopkins Centre for Adherence
Research in the US. “Don’t brush your teeth
until you’ve taken your pills,” she suggests. If
you can work it into your routine it will
quickly become
nature.
Comment and share. You may be saving a life.
Brush you teeth to stay alive
Besides complicating your social life, neglecting
to brush your teeth can land you with more than
just a couple cavities. It could actually stop your
heart!!!!!!. Am serious and not joking.
Gum disease has been linked to an increased
prevalence of numerous other conditions such
heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and bronchitis.
You may ask ,But how? Because your mouth is
full of bacteria, if you have poor dental hygiene
those bacteria can potentially make their way
into your bloodstream and thus infect distant
parts of your body.
Prevent acne and pimples
Battling with pimples or acne is common among
many people it is common to see some well
meaning people battling with this in public and
trying to pop it off from their face....what to
do.
1. Wash your face about twice each day. Use a
mild soap made especially for people with acne,
and warm water. Do not scrub the skin.
2.Don't try to burst the pimples.(if it is infected
by bacteria) You may push the infection further
down, causing more blocking and worse swelling
and redness. Popping pimples makes scarring
more likely.
3.Always wash your hands before touching your
face. This includes before applying lotions,
creams etc
4.Keep your hair clean and away from your
face.
5.Avoid being under stress for long.
6.Avoid exposing yourself to the HARMFUL RAYS
of the sun...Too much sun can cause your skin
to produce more sebum(oily substance).....
