Abacha Regime Experimented With HIV Viruses Using Prisoners by Nobody: 6:44am On Oct 20, 2012
Abacha Men Injected late Major
Akinloye Akinyemi with HIV virus

Federal Governmenturged to probe
Major Akinyemi's tortuous murder,
says victim was injected by Abacha's
regime
Press Statement, Ibadan, South West
The Federal Government has been
urged to probe the death of Major
Akinyemi who passed away barely a
month ago. In a statement issued by
the Apapo Oodua Koya, (AOKOYA)the
Yoruba self-determination group
insists that Major Akinloye Akinyemi
was a victim of HIV virus infection
orchestrated by the government of
late General Sanni Abacha while the
late he was jailed for phantom coup.
Major Akinyemi is a sibling of the
former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prof
Bolaji Akinyemi. In his battle against
artificial HIV infection, he sought the
assistance of Bishop Oyedepo who
worked hard spiritually to assist him
and also gave material and spiritual
assistance to the late Major while he
battled to save his life. Major Akinyemi
even contemplated going to court but
was restrained by his fear for
unpredictable consequences and the
futility of such an action in a country
where justice is usually a mirage.
In a statement signed by
AOKOYA'sspokesperson on local
affairs, Mr Segun Adebisi and sent to
the Chairman of the Nigerian Human
Rights Commission, Prof Chidi
Odinkalu, AOKOYA soon after he was
released from prison, Major Akinyemi
had confided in some Yoruba leaders
and close friends that he was
forcefully injected with HIV virus by
the late Sanni Abacha's regime. We
are ready to help the NHRC in the
expected probe with the Major's own
testimony.
When we heard of the death of Major
Akinyemi, an indigene of Ilesa in Osun
State, we were certain that he died of
complications arising from the
injection of his body with the dreaded
HIV virus by the government of Gen
Sanni Abacha. We met him before his
death and he confirmed this to us.
Though Abacha is dead, the people
that carried out the injection are alive.
It is a sad irony that the former
Governor of Osun State, Olagunsoye
Oyinlola played a n awfully significant
role in the injection of Major Akinyemi
with the HIV virus by the government
of Gen Sanni Abacha which Oyinlola
served with great enthusiasm. The
doctor that carried out the injection is
a member of the Nigerian Medical
Association, (NMA) and his licence is
yet to be revoked. The security
operatives that ensured he was
injected are alive. Major Akinyemi was
the second Nigerian, after the late Col
Victor Banjo to attend the famous
Academy of Military History in the
United Kingdom and the best student
in Sandhurst during his training as an
officer. He was one of the most
brilliant soldiers ever produced in this
generation and thus became difficult
to tolerate by the reactionary
establishment. He was first sentenced
to five years jail term by the General
Ibrahim Babangida's administration
and later to death by the late Gen
Sanni Abacha. Major Akinyemi was
subsequently injected with HIV virus
and to his own knowledge by the
largely Northern army than ran
Nigeria at the time.
We call on the National Human Rights
Commission, (NHRC) to probe what
represents one of the most vicious
crimes against humanity by any
regime ever known to human history.
We anxiously await the action of the
NHRC which is currently led by a
honest right advocate.

It will be stupid to associate what Abacha did to the north. Is Oyinlola a northern?

Instead of solving problem, yoruba people like fixing blames and dividing us.

Promiscuity is high among the Yorubas. They should reflect on the personality of those claimants to unearth how they caught HIV. Abacha will be dumb to experiment HIV virus with high profile prisoners. This claim is simply incredible

Will you shut your filthy trap, you ethic bigot! angry

Abacha's henchmen at DMI were known to forcefully inject political prisoners with HIV, e.g the Late Maj. Gen. Shehu Yar Adua.

The more defence you put the more you expose your ignorance. The incubation period of HIV is 2 to 10yrs. HIV virus is not an enhanced anthrax which kills within a short period of time. By the way, no one uses a biological agent that has long incubation period to eliminate a political enemy. HIV carriers can live a healthy life if they sticks to their anti-retroviral therapy. Moreover, there is no hardcore evidence which showed that Abacha experimented with HIV virus on his political prisoners except the hearsay beer parlour gist. You should examine the se.xual behaviours of those men in question to unearth how they caught HIV.

Even as a non-Yoruba, I find it in bad taste that you would stereotype the Yoruba as promiscuous.

You are ignorant of the relationship between the incubation period of HIV and poor nutrition, lack of exercise and non-access to medi-care. Yar-Adua was incarcerated for 2 years, a time frame even your post acknowledges is enough time for the virus to completely weaken the immune system. Throw in the factors I just mentioned and it's not hard to fathom that he could have died from the resulting complications even after only 2 years!

You must have been born in the 90s not to know that as recently as the mid-90s Nigeria hadn't even fashioned out a national response plan to the AIDS pandemic, not to talk of access to Anti-retrovirals!

Abacha was a brute, but not a dumb man. Yes he chose to exterminate some of his opponents through the most violent means his resources could muster, but some he choose to eliminate subtly. This my friend was not below the late dictator.

Yeah, recall Hitlers 'Angel of Death' - Dr. Josef Mengele, who used POWs as guinea pigs. The most ridiculous of which was experimenting with identical twins, on how they could be concieved @ will!
