Nigerian Prisons Service has denied reports of the death of one of the suspected masterminds of the October 1, 2010 bomb blast in Abuja, Tiemkenfa Osvwo (aka General Gbokos).

The Prisons Public Relations Officer, Kayode Odeyemi, said he read about Osvwo's death in the newspapers like everyone.

"I am not aware of his death, I don't know what happened to him; I just read about it in the newspapers," he said on Sunday.

Osvwo was arrested by the State Security Service along with three others for their alleged involvement in the October 1, 2010 blasts that claimed many lives in Abuja.

A statement by Osvwo's lawyer, Festus Keyamo, had claimed the suspect died at Kuje Prisons on Saturday following the fumigation of his cell by the prison authorities, alleging that he was murdered.

He also alleged that other accused persons in the bombing still in Kuje Prisons were re facing similar conditions that claimed Osvwo's life.

Keyamo claimed that Osvwo's death was the result of the maltreatment meted out to the accused persons in prison.

He said, "The sickness leading to the death of Tiemkenfa Francis Osvwo started when their cell was fumigated with a strange substance on the January 8, 2012, which affected the health of all the four suspects. Suffice it to reiterate that we, their solicitors raised the alarm about that development at the time.

"Prior to his death in custody, Gbokos had been urinating and defecating on himself in the prison and despite pleas by his solicitors requesting that he be treated properly, no one attended to him.

What d mess. are you saying, that nothing happened to him, or that you are not aware something happened to him! Okay, bring him out and make a press statement!

He that killed with sword, he/she will also kill by the same sword.

What exactly this man is talking about Is he died and you are unaware or he is still alive ?

He neither confirm his death nor disprove it, he only said he is not aware. Wrong title!

I hope they are not planning for his escape?

Where the heck is Asari Dokubo!

Bails could not be granted, these guyz were maltreated in prison.
You need to see the way they were shaking due to electric torture,

Boko Haram suspects were granted bail!

GEJ why are U treating your fellow Niger Deltan this way?

Extra judicial issue

If the guy in custody is really guilty who cares if he dies
Did he remember repercussion when he was carrying out the dastardly act
If we are not careful , one day, they will grant amnesty to Boko Haramites
