Bartholomew Owoh, one of the three young Nigerians executed by General Buhari for an offence that did not carry the death penalty is the elder brother of Nollywood actor, Nkem Owoh popularly known as Osuofia, emerging facts indicate.

A source close to the Nollywood actor revealed this to BREAKING TIMES on Thursday on condition of anonymity. According to the source, Nkem Owoh and the rest of his family have not recovered from the trauma of the cold-blooded murder of the three young men, particularly their brother and son, Bartholomew Owoh.

It will be recalled that Buhari, while he was military Head of State promulgated a decree prescribing death penalty for anyone caught for drug trafficking. But the trio of Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) committed the offence before Buhari came into power. The laws of Nigeria at the time the offence was committed did not prescribe the death penalty. When Buhari took over power, he insisted the young men should be executed and they were killed publicly by firing squad.

bokohalal:
Guess you know how many people Owoh killed.

tbaba1234:
Dude was convicted and killed for drug trafficking. He was by no means innocent. Many countries have stringent drig trafficking laws, perhaps Nigeria needs this.

Say NO to drugs.

Apparently you missed this part of the Op, if you didn't you wouldn't have made this lame defence.

Nobody said that drug trafficking isn't bad.

melvinjames:


Why not Say No to Politicians thieving?

We kill drug pushers but leave politicians to amass billions of Naira. We should as well kill the likes of Tinubu etc, shouldn't we?

fiverrwin:
Was owoh caught with drugs? If yes his death is not murder. The law was put in action to stop other thieves. If the guy had succeeded the would be celebrating him. Owoh family should hide their faces in shame of what their brother and son did. Am not supprised at all. Some even said corruption is not stealing. Another thing Buhari did not shot Owoh. The law was fulfilled on him.

jnrbayano:




This from the Op debunk your claims hands down.

Nobody condones drug trafficking. We hate murderers!!

tbaba1234:


Unfortunately that is incorrect..

jnrbayano:


What is incorrect?

Wuuworld:
Apart of the certificate Saga,Buhari u are under arrest for the unlawful murder of Bernard Ogedengbe, Bartholomew Owoh, Lawal Ojuolape and other precious souls....ur two hands equal to one...oyaahhh move

waternogeteneny:
In a sane society Buhari will be standing trial for crimes against humanity but no not in Nigeria becos we share a country with a very useless tribe from the South West.


How many people have been put in grieving seeing a man that killed their love one every day on television talking about coming back to rule or finish up from where he stopped.


I for one will fight to the death before Buhari will rule the south/south or south east. Let Buhari rule South West and North for all I care.
