Toba Falode & Oyams Alamieyeseigha murdered in Dubai. What's next?

Here's a press release from the legal chambers of Festus Keyamo regarding the case of Nigerian youths murdered in Dubai: Toba Falode (left) and Oyams Alamieyeseigha (right). Read below...
It is with a heavy heart and sadness that we received the news of the untimely death of a citizen of Nigeria in Dubai, Mr.Oyamuyefa Alamieyeseigha. It is particularly painful to note that he died in his prime and under questionable circumstances. We send our heartfelt condolence to the Alamieyeseigha family and pray that God grants them the strength and fortitude to bear the loss.
However, we note the swiftness with which the Federal Government responded to this sad and painful news with a call on the U.A.E authorities to fish out the killers of Mr. Oyamuyefa Alamieyeseigha

However, whilst this action of the Federal Government is commendable, it smacks of double standards. Recall that on 15th of February, 2014, Toba (Tyler) Falode was also murdered in hazy circumstances in Dubai. Recall also that the mother, Aisha Falode took it upon herself to carry out some discreet investigation into those circumstances and has since been crying out for justice for her son. Up till this minute, the Federal Government has not issued a single statement calling on the U.A.E authorities to fish out the killers of Toba Falode. The Federal Government has played the ostrich in the case of Toba, leaving the mother and family grieving alone. The question is, with the swift response in the case of Oyamuyefa Alamieyeseigha, does the Federal Government value the lives of some of its citizens more than others?

More importantly, it must be said that it is the lukewarm attitude of the Federal Government towards the earlier cases of Nigerians murdered abroad like the case of Toba that has emboldened foreigners in foreign lands to snuff the lives out of Nigerians without any qualms. If the Federal Government had shown more interest in the case of Toba, perhaps the precious life of Mr. Oyamuyefa Alamieyeseighawould have been saved.

We hope this is a bitter lesson to the Federal Government and we hereby re-iterate our call on the Federal Government to show more interest in the quest to find the killers of Toba Falode and bring them to justice.
Thank you.

UAE no be Naija. If you do anyhow, you will see anyhow. All the e- go- better hustlers wey dey enter and exit UAE, go church on Friday, work or holiday jeje, how many die?
So you see, if it's not your country, refrain from doing Omo baba olowo anyhow. Fall in line and enjoy under the radar.
May God give their respective families the fortitude to bear this huge loss.

I'm not surprised. Double standards didn't start today. ALUU4 nko? But once it touches the skin of a political overlord...all hands are put on deck. Good riddance to bad rubbish. I just hope Tyler Frey's case is looked into...and btw, Keyamo you can do it...don't rely on the FG, push it. No be today citizens start to dey Carter for themselves. Since 1960.

Wished the presidency responded with such swiftness when Aisha Falode's son was murdered.
But she's not a PDP stalwart and a friend to the president.
Many innocent Nigerians are languishing in prisons all over the world,but their cries for help has fallen on deaf ears.
The life of every Nigerian should be considered precious to our govt.

So sad the government didn't take any action on Aisha falode son toba. This goes to show that everything the govt does is based on paddy paddy things..So sad we nigerians are now relegated to the state of nature, where the life of man, is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short.

famonzo said...

Well written.. I wonder what kind of heartless government we have in Nigeria. Once u r not close to them, u can die a million times for all they care. Selective caring is the order of the day.. All we have in this country is government for those in government and not government for the people.

Keyamo, are you a learner?!! The government cares only about itself! People are applauding the effort of the government in quelling the threat of ebola but they forget that the only reason they acted so swiftly was because ebola was a threat to them too. Look at the BH case, if it was Abuja that was being bombarded like Bauchi BH would have being history after the second attack! Yes our government is a two faced bastard who cares only about itself and its interest! Alams kid dies and they sit up cos he is one of them, a corruptor but an ordinary citizen dies, they turn a deaf ear! Motherf*ckers never loved us!

go to other countries and see how the interest of their citizens beyond their borders are catered and cared for, our own na hoosai. F*CK THE GOVERNMENT ABEG

God bless you Mr Keyamo for pointing out the repulsive selective treatment of citizens who share the same entity. The death of Oyams will surely draw the ire of the FG since he is a son of one the many Godfathers of Mr Jonathan.This action further buttress the general feeling of wat transpired in George Orwell's Animal farm being replayed in Nigeria,with the polarisation of NIgerians into "Nigerians" and "the masses". God and death employs no partial treatment!

Well said Mr Keyamo.like I always say,its in the best interest of our government (local,state and federal),to do right because what goes around,usually have a way of coming around.these days,sooner rather than later.

Toba Falode is a Nigerian while Oyams Alams is a kin of GEJ, and we all know that FG will, as always protect their own and not Nigerians... Shame on GEJ

Yes, i totally agree with you, Mr Keyamo. With the way the killing of Toba was handled, one would only agree that the lives of the citizens of this country whether living within or outside the country means nothing to the Federal Government. This attitude is exposing our citizens to extra judicial killings. The FG should pls do something about it. Enough is enough. Let them stop wasting the lives of our brothers and sisters living outside this country. Thank you.

U see,here in UAE the Emiratis own their land,money and the monarch system made sure every indigene is first amongst many [E' PLURUBUS UNUM].
These guys are so rich they hate any slight competition that begets thier way[inferiority complex].
Toba & Oyams i suggest would have ostentatious goods [fast cars,blings & expensive apartment] which ordinarily the emiratis would frown about.
lastly,when u start dating their girls.....opps! you are dead..my 100th sense..am out

My fellow Nigerians, killing can take place any and everywhere. The big question is who do you hang around with, what are you involved in and ultimately what are your parents involved in. This killing certainly has nothing to do with Dubai, which is one of the safest place I know.

As for the Nigerian Government not listening to its people's cry that a whole spiral issue that needs addressing from its roots.

RIP to this two vibrant men, may God console their families.
