"Prominent against these charges against Gen Buhari was an act that amounted to nothing less than judicial murder, the execution of a citizen under a retroactive decree.! Does decree 20 ring a bell? If not, then the names of the three youths -Lawal Ojuolape, Bernard Ogedengbe and Batholomew Owo do. To put it quite plainly, one of the three (Batholomew) was executed during Buhari regime for a crime that did not carry capital punishment at the time the offence was committed. This was a consciounable crime, carried out in defiance of pleas and protests of nearly every sector of Nigerian and international community-religious, civil rights, trade unions etc" -Professor Wole Soyinka.
