Col Frank Omenka was the DMI during Abacha regime and his atrocities will be written here

Omenka raped 18-yr-old detainee—Says witness at Oputa Panel sitting lTsav
indicts Coomassie for atrocities against Nigeria

LAGOS — IT was another day of stunning revelations at the Oputa panel’s
sitting yesterday with a witness alleging that the dreaded former head of
security group of the Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI), Col. Frank
Omenka raped and impregnated an 18-year-old detainee.

Alleged attempt by Omenka to abort the pregnancy, however, resulted in the
death of the lady — Bunmi Samuel.

The panel was also told yesterday by former Police Commissioner in Lagos
State, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav that Inspector-General of Police in the Abacha
regime, Alhaji Ibrahim Coomassie should apologise to Nigerians for using ACP
Zakari Biu to perpetuate atrocities against innocent citizens.

Educationist and cousin of President Olusegun Obasanjo, Prof. Adebayo Mokuolu
told the commission that the late Bunmi Samuel was arrested in 1994 during
which she was allegedly abused by Omenka.

She was said to have died two weeks after she was hurriedly released from
detention.

Prof. Mokuolu who currently resides at the United States of America (USA) had
appeared briefly before the commission to give oral evidence to substantiate
his petition earlier forwarded to the secretary of the commission, entitled:
"My ordeals under late Gen. Sani Abacha and my family members’ between June
1994 and June 1998," dated July 21, 1999.

Prof. Mokuolu who is currently a member of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife
(OAU) Governing Council spoke of how his 13-year-old son (now in U.S.) John
Paul was arrested and detained for 31 days before the intervention of the
British government and how a non-member of his family, late Bunmi was arrested
in his residence, impregnated and wasted by Lt.-Col. Omenka among other human
rights abuses he and his family suffered.

He was led in evidence by his lawyer, Mrs. O. Babayeju.

His words: "My ordeals under late Gen. Abacha started in June 1994. I had gone
to President Olusegun Obasanjo Farm at Ota for a family meeting. But at his
gate, armed security men prevented me from entering. It took the intervention
of President Obasanjo (then General) before I could enter.

"But after the meeting, I was trailed to Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, somewhere
at Iyana Ipaja under the bridge where I was apprehended by two armed security
men at gun point. I pleaded with them to allow me phone my family which they
consented to. So, I told Gen. Obasanjo about the development who was about
travelling then and he advised that I should follow them to anywhere they took
me to.

"So I was whisked away to Eleweran Police Station and later taken to Onikan,
Lagos till about 2.00 a.m. I, alongside others arrested were being
interrogated and not allowed to sleep. I was with them for nine days.

"At another time, specifically December 15, armed policemen besieged my house
in Anthony Village, Lagos as early as 6.00 a.m. saying I was hoarding guns. I
was not around because I had travelled. Nevertheless, they entered forcefully,
searched my residence and arrested nine of my family members.

"Also in 1996, dangerous looking soldiers swooped on my compound seeking to
arrest me, one of them, a lady had posed as a journalist clutching a copy of
Weekend Concord with its lead story, "Obasanjo clocks 59 in custody." She was
asking me for an interview. It was later I knew she was to engage me in
talking till I would be arrested.

"But before this could be done, my son had come to tell me that our house had
been surrounded by soldiers and that one of them had remarked, we need him
dead or alive." I managed to escape.

"But because they could not get me, they arrested my family members, including
my cook and an 18-year-old girl, late Bunmi Samuel who was not even a member
of my family. Bunmi was detained and chained for a period of two months — she
died just two weeks after her so-called release.

"May her innocent soul rest in peace.

"My 13-year-old John Paul was also arrested and kept in military detention for
31 days and was later granted freedom through the intervention of the British
government. He is currently in U.S. and has vowed never to come to Nigeria
again.

"Out of annoyance, the army boys raided my compound, vandalised my property
including vehicles, stole my dresses, electronics, my wife’s jewelries, shoes,
video and a host of others.

All electrical fittings in my two buildings were removed and all the
inhabitants of the house forced out.

"Besides, they removed computers, IBM typewriters, musical instrument in the
buildings which were being used as school — Mokudu Secondary School, Lagos.
They also destroyed a number of science equipment, kept in the building.

"When the vandalisation, according to reports got to the head, I sent to the
principal of my college to remove important items yet to be removed by the
soldiers on the loot, but Lt.-Col. Omenka and Lt. Ashade ordered them to keep
off and in fact, the soldiers wrote "military zone, keep off, on the
buildings.

"For almost two years, my two property were left unprotected. For three years
I was in exile. Right now, I have no home, no vehicle to move around.

"I am asking for just N100 million to cover my losses during my period of
exile and bring all the culprits who were responsible for the violation of my
family’s human rights to book to serve as deterrent. The N100 million I asked
for is nothing in view of the skyrocketing prices of science equipment these
days.

"Prof. Mokuolu, however, separately told the commission how late Bunmi was
wasted away by Lt.-Col. Omenka.

His words: "There is an information the family of late Bunmi have been
concealing for some time. The late Bunmi before she died had told her parents
how she was raped by the military officer, Lt.-Col. Omenka and got
impregnated. The pregnancy was, however, terminated before she was hurriedly
let off their hook. Two weeks after, Bunmi died. May her soul rest in peace."

How do you know this...

Hmmm. Those years of horror and terror....

Bastard bloodshedder and killer. To think that this devil is an Igbo man makes me wanna puke. No living who witnessed the savagery and brutality of the inglorious Abacha government will ever forget the notorious Col Frank Omenka especially @ the DMI locations in Tego Barracks and Apapa.

Abacha was not corrupt, how can Omenka be?

Anybody who supports Buhari should NEVER make further noise about Abacha! Enough is enough!!!
You guys have milked this Abacha titties for far too long , it's now about time you give it up!
Abacha did not kill more people than Obasanjo! In just Odi and Zaki Biaam, Obasanjo killed more people a thousand fold than Abacha!

Abacha did not kill as much people in the South West as Buhari is doing in the East today! In just one day, buharis army kills more people than Abacha did in his 5 years in power!

Your lives in the South West are not more important than that of the people of Odi, Zaki Biaam, etche, Awo mama, Izombe etc. Everybody killed in these areas were born of a woman!

The South West should NEVER mention Abacha again. Abacha was a better leader when compared to the Daurra Disaster that you guys inflicted on this nation!

Lol. One of the most shamelessly hypocritical Nairalander in his two-faced element as usual. Igbos are saints ba and you don't know where Frank Omenka got his own evil from abi?

Guy, stop pretending Frank Omenka is a one-off aberration when he is the norm across your ala Igbo today

Abi how is Frank Omenka different to James Nwafor, the Awkuzu SARS genocidal butcher and organ harvester, plus his many evil underling Igbo SARS officers, you Igbos collectively feign ignorance of today?

What of the many Nkonso-type Igbo, who are today literally many thousands in number across ala Igbo, killing, raping, butchering and eating fellow Igbos with glee currently after Kanu and Ekpa opened the floodgate?

Would all the above not support the conclusion that Igbo 'innocence' is only in the eyes of hypocritical Igbos like you?

Is it not same as how you shamelessly all call Tinubu "drug lord" daily when Igbos are by far some of the biggest drug dealers in Africa and the world like Mexicans and Colombians?

Before this day is over likely 100 Igbos or much more would have been arrested for drug offences worldwide. Oga carry your "Ostriche' hypocrisy comot for hia.
