With the growing attention being paid to the military regime of
the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, General
Muhammadu Buhari, facts have emerged on Thursday, January 29, 2015 that
unknown to many, Bartholomew, the elder brother of popular Nollywood
actor, Nkem Owoh (popularly known as Osuofia) was killed by the military
regime of the 72-year old retired general.
According to Breaking Times, an unnamed source who did not want his name
in print revealed that the then 26-year old Bartholomew was among three
people – including 30-year old Lawal Ojuolape and 29-year old Bernard
Ogedengbe – who were notoriously killed by...
firing squad on allegations
of drug trafficking.
According to the source, Osuofia and the rest of his family are yet to
come to terms with the public execution of their son and sibling,
especially.
The widely condemned killing of the trio in 1985 was criticized because
General Buhari back-dated a decree stipulating death sentence for drug
trafficking offenders, whereas the alleged crime was committed before he
came into power. Buhari changed the law just to kill the three young
men.
The source said: “Nkem Owoh and his family are so distraught with Buhari
for killing their brother at the young age of 26. Every time he sees
Buhari on TV, he weeps bitterly over his brother. He can’t even believe
that Buhari has the nerve to seek re-election as President.”
