Listening to the announcement of your demise came with a rude shock, the magnitude of which I struggled to contain with a powerful price.

Ispent over 20 years of my working life abroad as a university teacher, banker and international civil servant with an unblemished record. I have no criminal record — not even a parking ticket. Sadly, it is in my own fatherland that I'm being subjected to criminal investigation and such extreme political persecution. Please, pray for me. I have reasons to believe that my life is in danger and that some powerful political forces want to silence me forever for speaking the truth.

For the honourable man, the deceased, to have declared that “I have reasons to believe that my life is in danger and that some powerful political forces want to silence me forever for speaking the truth" suggests that institutions cannot function effectively in a political geography where the government is averse to opposition and perspectives that put them on their toes.

During his time in Rome, Aristotle saw differently from what the ancient Romans had seen and dared the system to improve their vision by considering, as fundamental principles of life, those things they had frozen. Ironically, he was tried before by the law for which he was trying to challenge. It was evident that Aristotle was against a war he would not materially win. He lost his life in the process, but his vision would eventually fire Rome to an enviable position in many aspects of life.

I ask all these rhetorical questions because of the prescience of your predictions about the country in recent years, andbecause I was struck by the unusualness of your exit from the face of the earth. In my last conversation with you, you expressed your concerns and mentioned how the welfare of the people in the country has been technically silenced by the emergence of curable security problems.

Dies or killed for what he knew and spewing out ? What a comedy country May his soul rest in peace. Hope his dead has no connection with his claim of being aware of the sponsors of Boko Haram in the country? This is because if it has, KARMA would never allow the perpetrators. Shocking news.
