Aisha Falode Seeks Justice For Late Son, Others Murdered In Dubai Mrs Aisha Falode, whose son was brutally murdered in Dubai eight months ago has said that many more young Nigerians like her late son and that of former Bayelsa governor, Chief Dipreye Alamieyeseigha, will die mysteriously in that country until her late son, Toba Falode, and all the youths murdered in cold blood in Dubai get justice. Earlier reports had it that Toba, a student in Dubai was said by the authorities of that country to have jumped down from a balcony, dismissing his death as “suicide”, the same way the death of Alameiyeseigha’s son was dismissed. The late Toba was reportedly thrown down from the balcony of a 17th floor apartment in Manchester Tower in Dubai, a cold blood murder which a Saudi boy resident in Dubai who was seen on the crime scene with blood stains on his T-shirt and knuckles was said to have confessed to. Witnesses to Toba’s murder were said to have given statements orally and in writing, corroborating what his murderer, identified as Faisal Aldakmary Al-Nasser said, while boasting that it was a matter of serving 25 years in jail. “I have put all these together to make this easy for the Nigerian government to help me get justice for my son in Dubai”, she said. Lamenting that eight months after her son’s murder, she is still waiting for the Nigerian government to act, Mrs Folade insisted that the Nigerian ambassador in the UAE, Ambassador Ibrahim Auwalu should be called back to Nigeria “to answer for every young soul that has been lost to Dubai unaccounted for due to his lack of responsibility in office”. “The Foreign Ministry also must be asked questions on what they have done about Toba Falode’s case eight months after. It took Israel less than 48 hours to act on the loss of their three youths”, she added. Noting that many other young Nigerians will die like her son and Alamiyeseigha’s son, she said, “It is with a heavy heart that I read about the death of the son of Chief Alameiyeseigha on the streets of Dubai, an incident that immediately jolted me back in time, thanks to the bizarre similarities to that of my son as regards “cause of death”. “I am saddened that this has happened despite my nationwide campaign to stop the happening AGAIN by putting all relevant government agencies on notice, in vain. “I warned the Nigerian government that Nigerian youths were being killed in Dubai on a daily basis as confirmed by our embassy in Dubai. I also warned parents about the danger of Dubai. I also stated repeatedly, that if justice was not gotten for my son, another murder will happen.” “Indeed there have been many more after my son although not mentioned because they do not have a voice. But now, there is one so close to government that has been struck. I did not have to be a soothsayer to know this. Many more will happen until we get justice for Toba Falode, and all those who have been murdered in cold blood in Dubai. “We cannot stand by and watch our youths lives being down played over and above “collaboration and partnership” with a country that hates us with so much passion, that they are cutting down the lives of our young ones in cold blood crudely and viciously and yet we seek “partnership and collaboration” in investment with this same country”. She further lamented that, while it took Israel less than 48 hours to act on the loss of their 3 youths, the case with Nigeria was different. She said, “Even after submitting every evidence, our protest, police reports corroborating the fact that my son was murdered, we still have gotten no response at all from the Nigerian government. “Take a queue from Israel.,And the Nigerian Government for once should start acting like a big country with so much might and power that it is in the continent and indeed in the world and go after Dubai for justice for every young soul and every Nigerian life that has been cut short in Dubai”. Condoling Alamieyeseigha over his own son’s death, Mrs Folade said, “We send our sympathy and condolences to DSP Alamieyeseigha. The family and friends of their son, we empathise with them because we have been through and are still going through it and it is nothing we wish for any parent which was our concern from the start. This, is one death too many. May it not happen again”. afikpochictimes/?p=861
