Aisha Falode, the mother of Toba Falode who
mysteriously died in February this year in Dubai,
U.A.E.
, writes an open letter to Nigerians.
It is with a heavy heart that I read about the
death of the son of Chief Alameiyeseigha on the
streets of Dubai; an incident that immediately
jolted me back in time thanks to the bizarre
similarities to that of my son as regards “cause of
death”.
My son was said by the Dubai authorities to have
jumped down from a balcony, dismissing it as
“suicide”, same with Chief Alameiyeseigha’s son.
I am saddened that this has happened despite my
nationwide campaign to stop this happening
AGAIN by putting all relevant government
agencies on notice, in vain.
For record emphasis, my son was thrown from
the balcony of a 17th floor apartment in
Manchester Tower in Dubai. A Saudi resident in
Dubai confessed to the murder; he had my son’s
blood on his t-shirt, he had my son’s blood on
his knuckles and boasted about serving time for
25 years in prison if it comes to the worst.
His murderer has a name—Faisal Aldakmary Al-
Nasser.
There were witnesses to this murder, they have
written statements verbally and orally
corroborating what the murderer said. I have put
all this together to make this easy for the
Nigerian government to help me get justice for my
son in Dubai.
I warned the Nigerian government that Nigerian
youths were being killed in Dubai on a daily basis
as confirmed by our embassy in Dubai. I also
warned parents about the danger of Dubai.
I also stated repeatedly, that if justice was not
gotten for my son that another murder will
happen. Indeed there have been many more after
my son although not mentioned because they do
not have a voice. But now, there is one so close
to government that has been struck.
I did not have to be a soothsayer to know this.
Many more will happen until we get Justice for
Toba Falode, and all those who have been
murdered in cold blood in Dubai.
We cannot stand by and watch our youths lives
being down played over and above “collaboration
and partnership” with a country that hates us
with so much passion, that they are cutting down
the lives of our young ones in cold blood crudely
and viciously and yet we seek “partnership and
collaboration” in investment with this same
country.
Our ambassador in the UAE, Ambassador Ibrahim
Auwalu, must be called back to Nigeria to answer
to every young soul that has been lost to Dubai
unaccounted for due to his lack of responsibility
in office.
The Foreign Ministry also, must be asked
questions on what they have done about Toba
Falode’s case 8 months after. It took Israel less
than 48 hours to act on the loss of their 3 youths.
8 months after Toba Falode’s murder, we are still
waiting on the Nigerian government to give us
any kind of reaction on the loss of a young life-
Toba Falode in Dubai.
Even after submitting every evidence, our protest,
police reports corroborating the fact that my son
was murdered, we still have gotten no response
at all from the Nigerian government.
Take a queue from Israel.
And the Nigerian Government for once should
start acting like a big country with so much might
and power that it is in the continent and indeed in
the world and go after Dubai for justice for every
young soul and every Nigerian life that has been
cut short in Dubai.
We send our sympathy and condolences to DSP
Alamieyeseigha.
The family and friends of their son, we empathise
with them because we have been through and are
still going through it and it is nothing we wish for
any parent which was our concern from the start.
This is one death too many. May it not happen
again.
