Lawmaker Calls For Immediate Release Of Nigerian Lady Falsely Charged For Attempted Murder In Lebanon

Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, Chairman, House Committee on Diaspora in the Nigerian House of Representatives, has urged government to swing into action to ensure the release of Temitope Olamide Ariwolo, a Nigerian woman whose human rights is being violated by the Lebanese Government.

Temitope, who worked as a slave in Lebanon, was to be evacuated home on May 25, 2020 but was barred by the airport authority following an order from her Lebanon boss.

Her whereabouts was unknown but sources had disclosed to SaharaReporters that she is currently in a prison facility in Lebanon where she was accused of attempted murder. 

Following the reports of her current situation, Akande-Sadipe asked the Nigerian Hovernment to hold their Lebanese counterpart responsible if anything bad happened to Temitope.

"The latest news that has been brought to my attention is that Temitope has been charged with murder. This is preposterous in my opinion. Who did she Murder?" The lawmaker asked."It is sad that this young woman’s right is further being violated because she sought greener pastures as a domestic worker in a foreign land to better the lives of her two children.

"I must state that I am really concerned about Temitope because in the recent past, two other Nigerian women have died in mysterious circumstances.  See Also Sahara Reporters EXCLUSIVE: Nigerian Lady Barred By Lebanese Owner From Repatriation Suffers In Prison On False Charge Of Attempted Murder 0 Comments 17 Hours Ago

"The Lebanese Government must be held responsible for the violation of Temitope’s rights," she added.

She said that Nigerian girls should not be killed in foreign countries under the guise of foreign relations, adding that the government and concerned officials should not watch Temitope being killed.

She said, "We cannot abandon Temitope at this time, we must join hands to fight this cause. We need to rise up, rescue, protect and defend our fellow citizens in difficulties in other nations.

"All Lebanese embassies across the world must be made aware of this case, we must speak for our own, it is very sad that Lebanon, a country that has benefited immensely from Nigeria allows the maltreatments of Nigerians in their country thereby violating diplomatic ties."

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.
