08/04/09 - NO WORD YET... After reviewing last week's interview tapes, it appears unclear if current rules allow the parole examiner to release his recommendation to the parole commission, to our attorney. Therefore, it is possible that we may not hear any news until the commission reaches their final decision which would be around the later part of August - 3rd week or beyond.

Edward Atatah), under dubious pretexts. These included the possession of “incriminating literature”, gunrunning and the sponsoring of a coup attempt in Equatorial Guinea. Due to the absurdity of the manufactured cases, the charges were eventually thrown out of Angolan court.
 After 5 grueling months in Angolan prison, where the two were beaten and denied access to counsel, it is believed that the prisoners were secretly and illegally extradited to Nigeria on February 14
