Bartholomew Owoh’s last words were****: Did Owoh curse Buhari ?

Buhari is Cursed!!!  Bartholomew Owoh’s last words were:  “I did not pray to die like this. This is a terrible death. But there is one thing, I am not a fugitive. I die only to abide by the government’s decision. May God forgive Buhari for spilling the blood of young people. It is a pity I am dying for not touching my fellow man’s property. AND THE MEN DIED… BARTHOLOMEW OWOH (26), LAWAL AKANNI OJULOPE (30) AND BERNARD OGEDEGBE (29) At 11.00 a.m. on Wednesday April 10, 1985. Bartholomew Owoh (26), Lawal Akanni Ojulope (30) and Bernard Ogedegbe (29) were executed by a Firing Squad at Kirikiri prison, Lagos.  The three along with one woman, Gladys Caroline Inyama, were convicted by the Justice Adebayo Desalu led military tribunal for contravening the provisions of Decree Number 20. The fact that all 3 men and 1 woman were apprehended before the Decree was promulgated was immaterial, all 4 were found guilty. On the day of their execution in front of a large crowd, the three men were tied to the stake in front of barrels painted in the colors of the Nigerian flag.  Wearing a white shirt, with a black tie and blue trousers, .Bartholomew Owoh’s last words were: “I did not pray to die like this. This is a terrible death. But there is one thing, I am not a fugitive. I die only to abide by the government’s decision. May God forgive Buhari for spilling the blood of young people. It is a pity I am dying for not touching my fellow man’s property. I have never been with the police before, nor have I broken any law since I was born, If i knew this was going to result in my death, God knows i would never have had anything to do with it. That is why i am going to God with all courage and faith, that I don’t have to regret because he knows much better than I do.”  Wearing blue jeans and a denim jacket, Bernard Ogedegbe’s last words were: “I was convicted without reasonable doubt. I was charged for being in possession of cocaine. But now the warrant of death reads ‘dealing in cocaine’, this is very unfair.” On his part, father of four, Lawal Akanni Ojulope had no shoes, and clutched tightly to his Islamic prayer beads, he said nothing. Six soldiers took aim, two assigned to each man. After the first volley, Ogedebe slumped to the right, Owoh slumped forward, Ojulope did too, but not before his fila fell off his head. All men were dead. However, the firing squad kept shooting.  The three men would not have been executed if their sentences were not approved by the 16 man Supreme Military Council led by Muhammadu Buhari. The only reason they were brutally executed is because Buhari wanted their deaths to serve as a warning to others that his administration meant business. 29 years later, Buhari has shown no remorse and has not apologized for his diabolical decision.
