THE
MURDER OF MY SON, OLUWADAMILOLA OLORUNTOBA FALODE IN COLD BLOOD BY MR. FAISAL
ALDAKMARY AL-NASSER AND MISS OLIVIA MELANIE RICHARDS EVANS AND THE COVER-UP BY
THE DUBAI POLICE.
I am
Aisha Falode, Mother of 19 year old Toba Falode. I’m giving the following
statement as fact in the unfortunate death of my son. Oluwadamilola Oloruntoba
Falode, who was a student of SAE Institute, Dubai in the UAE admitted to study
Audio Production in October, 2013 and resided on the 17th floor of Manchester
Towers, Dubai Marina.
In the
early hours of the 15th of February, 2014, I received a call from the security
guard at my son’s apartment block informing me that something serious had just
happened to my son, Toba. I then immediately called his close friend, Nick
Allison, a South African, who then informed me that my Toba had passed on from
falling from the balcony of his 17th floor apartment.
Upon
hearing this, I made various frantic calls to Toba’s pastor (his guardian in
Dubai), to go to the scene. After which I was informed that the police had
arrested all those at the scene and also taken the body of my son away.
Four family members then proceeded to retrieve
my son’s body and also met with the Deputy Director of the Jebel Ali police
station, who read out the preliminary report to the family and mentioned
Faisal’s name which was mysteriously missing in the report that was later given
to the family.
Eyi ni
akojopo iwadii awon olopa :
· a.
That they confirmed that Toba died in the morning of the 15th of February
2014 at approximately 4am.
· b. That they indicated that this
occurred around the premises of Toba’s apartment, the Manchester Tower, Dubai
Marina.
· c.
That they confirmed that there were 5 other people with him at the time
of his death – (4) four boys and 1 girl - a Nigerian, a French Canadian
national, a South African and a Saudi
national. The girl is British.
· d.
That close to the time of the accident, Toba was on the balcony of his
flat with his alleged girlfriend.
· e.
That Toba was sitting on the railing of his balcony with his feet off
the floor and that he was swinging in this position backward and forward.
· f.
That his girlfriend was still there with him, and was warning him to be
careful.
· g. That she later went inside the
flat and shortly after, they all noticed that Toba was no longer sitting on the
railings or on the balcony, and must have fallen down from the balcony
railings.
· h. That his friends all rushed down
and found him lying dead in front of the apartment block.
· i.
That they then called the Police who took charge of things.
· j.
That all statements of the witnesses as described above were similar and
that they were all interviewed separately.
· k.
That forensic evidence including the examination of Toba’s body at
autopsy did not reveal anything to contradict this version of events.
· l.
That there were no injuries on Toba’s body inconsistent with a fall from
a great height as the cause of his death.
· m.
That there was no evidence of bruising or other injury to indicate
anything else could be blamed as the cause of his death.
· n. That based on their findings, they
decided therefore not to conduct a full internal autopsy.
· o. That if from their investigations
they had even the slightest indication of anything other than this version of
events they would definitely have conducted an autopsy.
However, because of the various
inconsistencies in the Police Report given to my family, and because I know the
apartment layout very well and my motherly intuition I knew something was not
right. So I decided to investigate further by myself accompanied by a family
member and my family lawyer Mr. Festus Keyamo.
We
travelled to Dubai in April and met with some of my son’s friends who were
present in the apartment on that fateful day.
The summary of the accounts of these friends
were totally different from what the police report indicated and revealed a
weak attempt by the authorities in Dubai to hide facts that pointed to the fact
that my poor son was murdered. This account, the friends (witnesses) in
question volunteered to give as written statements to me.
Iwadii
ni soki:
· a.
That sometime in December, 2013, the said Faisal Aldakmary Al-Nasser
stormed the apartment of my deceased son Oloruntoba Falode and ordered Miss
Olivia Melanie Richards Evans (his supposed girlfriend) out of Toba’s
apartment, accusing her of having an affair with Toba.
· b. That a fight was to have ensued
from this confrontation, but for the intervention of other mutual friends.
Since then, there was no love lost between Toba and Faisal Aldakmary Al-Nasser.
· c.
That in the evening of the 14th of February, 2014, Toba, together with
his friends, namely, Ebele Oladeji Onwugbufor, Nick Allison and Joachim Senteni
went to a club in Dubai known as M Deck, Media 1 Hotel, Media City.
· d. That at the club, they met the
said Faisal Aldakmary Al-Nasser and Miss Olivia Melanie Richards Evans who were
also at the club.
· e.
That again an argument started at the Club concerning Olivia, and
shortly after this, Faisal and Olivia left the Club.
· f.
That shortly after the two left the club, Toba and his friends also left
the club.
· g. On their return to Toba’s
apartment, Toba, Nick and Deji were shocked and surprised to find Faisal and
Olivia outside Toba’s Apartment door, waiting and Olivia was crying hysterically
and appeared frightened while Faisal, however appeared calm, with a determined
look on his face.
· h. That after they all went into the
apartment, after which Toba, Faisal and
Miss Olivia Melanie Richards Evans entered his room “to sort things out”.
· i.
That shortly after, the three of them exited the room and moved on to
the balcony of the apartment on the 17th floor.
· j.
That there were signs of serious argument coming from the balcony with
raised voices and flaying hands by faisal visible through the glass door of the
balcony.
· k.
That after about twenty seconds Faisal and Olivia came back into the
room and announced that Toba had fallen off the railings. However, Faisal had
blood splattered all over his shirt and he had bloody knuckles. There was also
a noticeable cut on his finger.
· l.
That at this point they all rushed downstairs to see Toba’s dead body
lying meters away from the building (approximately 12 to 15 meters).
· m. That
the position of my Toba’s body (which can still be verified
today) was not
consistent with someone falling from the balcony (in which case the body would
be much closer to the building) but was consistent with someone that was
violently pushed from the balcony.
· n. That the police arrived thereafter
and arrested all of them to the station.
· o. That before and during the journey
to the station, Faisal kept
repeating to the hearing of everyone that the
maximum punishment for him would be twenty-five (25) years in jail and that the
other boys should not worry. Meanwhile, Olivia remained hysterical.
· p. That at the station, Faisal and
Olivia were kept away from the rest and were interviewed separately, whereas
the other three were kept in a separate room and interviewed separately.
· q. The witnesses were clear that the
above account was what was narrated and written as statements at the police
station, A vital piece of information deliberately omitted in the Police Report
which did not make any reference to the presence of Faisal or Miss Olivia
Melanie Richards Evans on the balcony when Toba allegedly fell
· r.
That Faisal was released without taking the blood stained T-shirt from
him as should have been done in any investigative matter.
I am appealing to my Government that I have
done much more than I should do as a grieving mother who was left with no
option but to start investigating my own son’s murder by myself. I implore the
Nigerian Government to prevail on the authorities in Dubai to re-open the
investigation into the murder of my son Toba Falode and to bring to book Mr.
Faisal Aldakmary Al-Nasser and Miss Olivia Melanie Richards Evans both of whom
murdered him in cold blood.
The loss of a son is not what any parent
should have to suffer, let alone a brutal murder. I do not wish this on any one
because the pain is not only excruciating but almost unbearable.
JUSTICE MUST PREVAIL NOT ONLY FOR MY DEAR
TOBA, BUT ALSO IN HONOUR OF THE MEMORY OF ALL THE OTHER YOUNG LIVES THAT HAVE
BEEN CUT SHORT BRUTALLY. IF NO ONE ACTS EVERYONE IS AT RISK OF THIS
UNFATHOMABLE PAIN.
I am asking for justice for my son and prayers
from everyone that God in his infinite mercy gives my family and I the strength
to bear this great loss.
THANK YOU.
