Francis Osuvwo dies in Kuje Prison!

One of the suspects standing trial for the October 1, 2010 bomb explosions in Abuja , Francis Osuvwo, have died on Friday night at Kuje Prison,Abuja.
His lawyer, Mr. Festus Keyamo, alleged murder. He said Osuvwo died "on the heels of series

of complaints by counsel representing him and his co-accused about the maltreatment meted out on the accused persons by the Nigerian Government in custody."
General Gbokos, as the deceased was called by his friends, had been standing trial with three others Charles Okah, Obi Nwabueze, and Edmund Ebiware.
Charles is the younger brother of Henry Okah, leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND),who himself is facing trial in South Africa for the Independence Day bombing in Abuja.
There was also panic yesterday over Charles’ health.
Security at the prison was immediately tightened yesterday following fears of reprisals by MEND.

A relation of Osuvwo said he died at about 9pm in the prison on Friday and his corpse has been deposited at the National Hospital in Abuja .

The source said when the suspect’s condition deteriorated over the last two weeks, some Ijaw youths and his relations responded by sending emissaries to the National Security Adviser and prominent Ijaw leaders to draw attention to his plight.
Said the source, "We sent the representation because the Prison’s Medical Director, Dr. Bello, had no idea of what was ailing the man.
"His symptoms included loss of memory, hallucination, weakness, loss of the use of his limbs, scaly and whitish skin from head to toe and his anal was full of sores.
"Francis’ last days were really pathetic and shameful; he was left lying on the floor of his cell for days, immobile, stooling and peeing on himself with no medical attention from the prison doctors and nurses.
"The death of Francis Osuvwo can be attributed to negligence by the Nigerian Prison Service officials who have allowed themselves to be used as agents of persecution and the prison itself as a concentration camp where the four suspects have suffered various forms of inhuman treatment, including the fumigation of the suspects inside their cells.
"Francis reacted badly to the chemical components. Charles Okah too is in a critical state and everyone is praying that he too does not go the way of Francis Osuvwo.
"Osuvwo is survived by his wife, Philomena, a son (Kevin), and four daughters among who are Precious and Princess."
