Is there a source to this picture because that pic could have been taken anywhere. I don't see anything that supports your assertion.

Waoh! What a blessing in disguise! God knows he would have been killed if he wasn't arrested that time telling us he was also corrupt. Awolowo! A courageous man that never tried fleeing leaving his people to suffer, a brave man that gave a simple clue to win and defeat the rebels.

okosodo: he never tried to flee but he was never pursued.

even if he was pursued, he wouldn't run. Okunrin ogun! Okunrin meta! Akoogun! I'm sure he has been dealing with that rebel in heaven. Little wonder he didnt want to die initially before he was forced to die after being a vegetable.
