- The last words of the slain journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, has been eventually revealed

- A CNN report claimed that the veteran journalist was killed pleading and saying "I can't breathe"

- The report also claimed that a number of the Saudi top officials have been linked with the death of the slain journalist

In what seems to be another revelation trailing the death of Jamal Khashoggi, a CNN report has claimed that the last words of the late journalist and Saudi critic were "I can't breath."

Daily Beast report that a continual audio investigation into the death of the late Washington Post columnist also showed that there were unintelligible screams and gasps.

Legit.ng gathers from the reports that the killing of Khashoggi was premeditated, contrary to the claims by Saudi that the journalist lost his life during brawl.

The report also claimed that some top Saudi officials have been identified with the murder, but the number of people involved in the murder case still remained a puzzle.

According to an investigation, two of the voices reportedly heard in the recording were identified by CNN's source as Maher Abdulaziz Mutreb, an intelligence official who works for Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and Salah Muhammad al-Tubaiqi, a forensic doctor from Saudi Arabia's interior ministry.

CNN, however, reported that there was no evidence in the transcript implicating the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman.

The chief prosecutor's office in Istanbul filed an application on Tuesday to obtain the warrants for Ahmad al-Assiri and Saud al-Qahtani, who were described in court documents as being “among the planners” of the murder of Khashoggi.

The late journalist was last seen entering his country's consulate in Istanbul on Tuesday, October 2.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
