imprisoned for attempting to overtrow the then
military government.Today , my family and i are being
punished for the collective desitions of the then
military council headed by my late father.there is a
delibrate attempt
by some people at very high quaters to keep for them
self all we have lived and worked for on the grounds
that my late father looted the countries oil
reserve.to a very large extent,they have in one way or
the other recovered various sums of money deposited by
my my family menbers in different Banks and security
firms abroad. Some of these banks and security firms

disclosed to the present civilian
administration of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo,about my
family's cash lodgement and monetary transactions with
them.
