Lagos Lawyer Festus Keyamo has condemned the swift response the Federal Government gave to the former Governor of Bayelsa, when he lost his son last weekend in Dubai. According to Keyamo, the Federal Government has paid little or no attention to the call of Mrs Falode, who urged the Government to please intervene in the killing of her young son, who was pushed to his death from a high-rise apartment in Dubai. “Up till this minute, the Federal Government has not issued a single statement calling on the U.A.E authorities to fish out the killers of Toba Falode.
