"Does Decree 20 ring a bell? If not, then, perhaps the names
of three youths – Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe
(29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) do. To put it quite plainly,
one of those three Ogedengbe – was executed for a crime that
did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was committed."
"This was an unconscionable crime, carried out in defiance of
the pleas and protests of nearly every sector of the Nigerian
and international community religious, civil rights, political,
trade unions etc."
"Buhari and his sidekick and his partner-in-crime, Tunde
Idiagbon persisted in this inhuman act for one reason and one
reason only: to place Nigerians on notice that they were now
under an iron, inflexible rule, under governance by fear."
"The execution of that youthful innocent for so he was, since
the punishment did not exist at the time of commission – was
nothing short of premeditated murder, for which the
perpetrators should normally stand trial upon their loss of
immunity."
