    What a world. May his soul rest in peace.

    I sincerely need help. I was involved in a biz that went wrong, lost everything and still owing. Have been able to offset the debt to the balance of 30k. My debtor has involved police. I don't want to end up in cell. I am quite afraid. Friends have assisted me, I really need to offset this by next week. Police is threatening Monday. I can be reached on

    This is unbelievable! Reason being that, this is far off the truth and the real story. What i saw with my own eyes isn't what people are reading on this page. That was never a sucide attempt, rather an attempt to run for dear life out of fear. And this picture is not thesame young boy i saw last struggling to raise his hands out of the swampy canal in hopes of a savior before sinking down to his death! Please don't tent the truth about the circumstances behind his death, because it is too painful a way to die. Will appreciate it if the story is verified once more. Thanks a lot Linda

    I got a first hand information from a trader under the cele bridge... The guy was being chased by KAI, and in a bid to escape, he jumped into the canal. The KAI guys ran away when they found out he was dead.
