How GEJ Framed Me Up With The Abuja Oct 1st Bombing-- Edmund Ebiwari by dmoville(m): 3:49pm On Jul 26, 2015 |
In an attempt to make me testify falsely, I was blindfolded and thrown down from a balcony. I landed with my ribs and the searing and excruciating pains abide sill. Twice, I was tortured with electrical devices. I have even been taken to the cemetery severally, under the watchful eyes of Mr. Ita Ekpenyong, the former Director General of DSS and asked, gun to my head, to send my last wishes to my family. I’ve gone through all sort of things, yet, I didn’t do it. I neither have prior knowledge of the infamous October 1st, 2010 twin bombings nor had anything to do with the bombing claimed by the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta(MEND). I am Edmund Ebiwari Opori, an Abuja-based graduate of Philosophy from my state owned Niger Delta University. Just like every young person, I had youthful dreams. I had dreams of becoming somebody in life. So, when the opportunity to play a part in the sensitization of Niger delta youths when amnesty was offered militants came, I gladly grabbed it with both hands. This role afforded me the opportunity to meet people. It also made me meet and get to know some ex–agitators, as they are called now. Everything was fine. I’m happily married, blessed with lovely kids and was doing just fine as a young man. As far as I was concerned; life was good. Then, my phone rang at about 12 noon on the third day of October, 2010. On checking who the caller was, it was Pastor Reuben Wilson(an ex–agitator). We exchanged pleasantries as friends do, and he told me he needed me to come over to Bolingo Hotel. “Hope all is fine,” I asked. “Yes,” he answered. “I just need you to do me a favor. Please come help me offset my hotel bills. It is fifty thousand naira(N50,000).” I heeded his plea. I agreed to help him. I drove down to his location, eased my car into the hotel compound and relieved him of this burden. Immediately after making payments, everything changed. Things happened very fast. I was rounded up, my car keys collected and seized, my hands cuffed, my eyes blindfolded and I was bundled into their vehicle and whisked off. Unbeknownst to me, his plea was a plot to hand me over to the DSS. Before I could call Jack, I’ve landed in the underground solitary confinement of the DSS. My crime? It was alleged that I had prior knowledge of the Independence Day Bombings, even though I haven’t met Henry Okah, the alleged mastermind of the atrocity, in my life. However, as you will realize shortly, the hunt for my life has mothing to do with the Bombing or the Okahs. I was affiliated to the General Ibrahim Badamusi Babangida campaign structure in the build up to the 2011 Presidential election. I, in fact, helped High Chief Raymond Dokpesi to secure IBB’s campaign office in Yenagoa in September, 2010. My reason for working for them is simple. It was borne out of my strong disdain for reneging on agreements. I always keep to agreements; it is a matter of principle. I believed the zoning arrangement should have been adhered to. If that was done, we, Niger Deltans, would have been saved that embarrassing loss in the last presidential elections. So, for this cause, I’ve been given a life sentence. For failing to implicate the IBB group, Timi Alaibe, Timipre Sylva, High Chief Dokpesi, Charles Soludo, Emmanuel Uduaghan, Nasir el-Rufai, Emami Ayiri, Senator JK Brambaifa my life has been tacitly taken from me. Timi Alaibe was summoned to the DSS headquarters. We met, and I told them, in Alaibe’s presence that I didn’t get any information prior to the occurrence, so I didn’t tell Mr. Alaibe anything. I was drilled and instructed to say I met Alaibe some days before the bombing and advised him to travel to London before October 1st. In the same vein, they took me to the cemetery, drilled me for hours,in order to get me to implicate Chief Dokpesi. They wanted me to confess that he gave me money to facilitate the bombing. But when he came over, I said the truth. To their disappointment, I said the truth again. Mr. Dokpesi was elated. He joyfully danced.Alas, he was exonerated. That was why I was handcuffed, blindfolded and taken to the underground solitary cell at the Department of State Security headquarters in Abuja. I was chained to the wall for three months, brought out every three days to be subjected to grueling torture, leaving my back with purulent sores and the rest of my body with permanent swellings and a mass of sores which no longer has definition as each weal has merged into another. I wasn’t allowed to have visitors. I was denied visits, except once when Festus Kenyamo, my lawyer, came to see me. They later opened up, telling me Henry Okah is their main target. All they need me do is to falsely confess that he told me of his plans to bomb the Eagle Square on Independence Day. They promised me largesse, if I danced to their tune. Those who orchestrated this bombing have been freed two years ago. When I probed the issue, the prosecuting counsel said, they were freed because they cooperated. Because I don’t know how to cooperate, all I had worked hard for have been confiscated, my name dragged to the mud and I’ve been convicted not on concrete evidences but mere assumptions. I met Charles Okah and Late Francis Osuwo Gbokos for the first time in this underground cell. We were later transferred to Kuje Prison around 8p.m, one day, in a manner too scary to explain. We spent four years together in that unaired, dark and stinking Kuje solitary cell, with cavalcade of snakes, frogs, lizards, rats and scorpions. Francis Osuwo Gbokos didn’t survive it. He passed to the great beyond leaving his wife and five kids. He didn’t have the chance to defend himself in court. Till date, his corpse lies at the morgue of the Gwagalada specialist hospital, his family not allowed to claim his remains. Charles Okah is presently ill. His ailment and Francis’s death are sure connected to the inhumane conditions mete on us. I remain jarred. They lied when they told Nigerians that High Chief Dokpesi gave me money to bomb. The text messages I exchanged with Dokpesi were as a result of the office I helped him secure for the IBB campaign group in Yenagoa. I lack the skill to capture those moments; the still suppurating furrows; the tip of the whip digging my skin; the scab and scars it left; the wails and screams, with hot tears streaming down my cheek. Nor do I pretend to understand the stark nihilism that drove whoever roped me into this to do that. My powers of empathy, my ability to reach into another’s heart, cannot penetrate the thoughts of those who would subject an innocent man to excruciating pain, silently and slowly murdering him, abusing the humanity we all share, with abstract, serene satisfaction. I need all well meaning people to support me because I am innocent. I think of my aging mother. I think about my lovely wife. My lovely kids and siblings, my freedom, please, I need you to help me get it all back.
