NIDCOM Rebuts Amnesty International, Confirms $570,000 Blood Money Paid to Secure Release of Nigerian on Death Row in Saudi Arabia The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) has countered claims by Amnesty International over the prolonged detention of Suleimon Olufemi, a Nigerian who has spent more than 20 years on death row in Saudi Arabia, insisting that critical facts were omitted from Amnesty’s narrative. NIDCOM disclosed that Olufemi’s death sentence was converted after the victim’s family agreed to accept blood money under Saudi Arabia’s Sharia-based legal system. According to the commission, following years of diplomatic engagements involving Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Nigerian Embassy in Saudi Arabia, the victim’s family demanded $570,000 in compensation. NIDCOM said the funds were successfully raised through a coordinated effort involving Nigerians in Saudi Arabia, private donors, and supporters, including contributions from Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Seyi Tinubu during the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari. NIDCOM confirmed that the full amount has been paid into a designated account and that Nigerian authorities are awaiting final approval from Saudi officials to secure Olufemi’s release. While acknowledging Amnesty International’s advocacy role, the commission accused the organisation of failing to assist during the critical fundraising stage and urged it to present factual and balanced accounts. NIDCOM expressed optimism that Olufemi, who has consistently maintained his innocence, will soon regain his freedom after more than two decades in prison. : #NIDCOM #SaudiArabia #HumanRights

Buhari, Osinbajo and the Politics of Posthumous Truth: How Death, Biography and Power Are Rewriting Nigeria’s Political History This opinion piece examines how posthumous narratives surrounding the late former President Muhammadu Buhari are reshaping public understanding of his eight-year partnership with former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

I am deeply sorry For my Recent Comment the Christian Genoc!de in Nigeria - Bishop Kukah says Bishop Kukah remains astonished that the US congressional delegation, which visited for fact-finding, ignored him upon arrival, despite being one of the notable or prominent religious individuals who testified to the US State Department regarding the ongoing genoc!de of Christians during Buhari’s administration. The USA congressional delegation declined to meet Bishop Kukah and various religious political figures in Nigeria, a move that signals a clear warning to the Nigerian government that those they positioned to dece!ve and lie against the Christian genoc!de have been sidelined and the handshake has gone beyond the elbow. This single action of neglect on Bishop Kukah, prompted him to issue this public apology hoping things will turn around for him, little did he know that it’s game over for him and for all those men of God who have used l!es and decept!on to destr0I y the Christian faith.
