DIAMOND BANK GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (GMD/CEO) MR.UZOMA DOZIE,DIAMOND BANK REGINAL MANAGER, MR.NNAMDI OWANTA ON (08037245200), DIAMOND BANK BUSINESS MANAGER WUSE ZONE 4, ABUJA, MRS.ULOMA JIDE-AFONJA ON (08034345441) DIAMOND BANK LAWYER, BARRISTER AUSTIN MWANA ON (08033175677), THE DIAMOND BANK MANAGEMENT CONSPIRED WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE SECURITY (DSS) AND KIDNAPPED AN ABUJA BASED JOURNALIST.

An Abuja based JOURNALIST GOODLUCK ONYEWUENYI was recently abducted in Gestapo like manner by the operatives of the Department of State Security at the Abuja High Court Maitama allegedly on the prompting of THE MANAGER OF DIAMOND BANK, WUSE ZONE 4 BRANCH, ABUJA ULOMA JIDE – AFONJA.

GOODLUCK ONYEWUENYI who had his suit tore to pieces was beaten black and blue by his abductors, blind folded and was forced into an unmarked car, wished to their office where he was detained before THE SECRETARY OF NIGERIA UNION OF JOURNALISTS (NUJ) ABUJA COUNCIL EMMA OGBECHE BAILED HIM.

Narrating his ordeal to journalist in Abuja, he said, the kidnappers were caught by the lawyers at the court premises before they identified themselves as operatives of the DSS. The Journalist who was terribly shock said, Diamond Bank Management had done him something he will never forget in his life. He described Diamond Bank as a centre of fraud and Embezzlement advising the general public not to do any transaction or save money in Diamond Bank rather uses other Banks that will save you better. GOODLUCK CHIAWOLAMOKE ONYEWUENYI also said that Diamond Bank Management has put him in a state of shock that will affect his dear life psychologically, He lamented and cried loudly

When ULOMA JIDE-AFONJA came to DSS the following day, she denied being sent them to assassinate my life, rather said her Regional Manager MR. NNAMDI OWANTA AND HER DIAMOND BANK GMD/CEO MR.UZOMA DOZIE DIRECTED THE MEN OF DSS TO LOOK FOR ME UNLAWFULLY THE MATTER ALREADY IN COURT AND ASSASSINATE MY DEAR LIFE that she has nothing to do with me. Department of State Security (DSS) is a place where dubious men who claim they have money dumped their enemies and assassinates them.

“The case I have with ULOMA JIDE AFONJA THE DIAMOND BANK MANAGER OF WUSE ZONE 4 ABUJA has to do with my late elder brother’s money UCHENNA ONYEWUENYI who died as a result of kidney failure also had a domicile account in that branch Wuse Zone 4 Abuja.

When my elder brother died, we were asked to provide all the necessary documents which we did from the Probate Registry of the Honorable Court. Since 6^th of August 2014, the probate registry served Diamond Bank the first letter, the second letter was served on the 2^nd of September 2014 with all the Newspaper publications, yet nothing was done. THE BRANCH MANAGER, ULOMA JIDE-AFONJA SAID SHE HAS COMMUNICATED WITH HER REGIONAL MANAGER MR.NNAMDI OWANTA AND THE GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.UZOMA DOZIE ON WHAT TO DO WITH MONEY AND THEY directed her to share the money into two and give my family one part. Uloma further said she cannot do anything beyond the directives giving by her Boss. I have already agreed with ULOMA JIDE-AFONJA until when I shared the idea with my friends who work in Banking Industries, the information I gave my friends astonished them. They directed me on what to do to get it right. That's the beginning of my problem with the Diamond Bank Manager. We finally decided to go to Court to demand justice.
ULOMA JIDE-AFONJA now called to settle out of Court but, she cannot go beyond the order her boss gave her to share the money into two or I should forget about the money, that they will send the money to The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) or Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Where I will go and settle with them and waste my time to At the same time her lawyer BARR.AUSTIN MWANA was also busy Negotiating with my lawyer to settle out of Court by sharing the money into two and they should follow the instructions given by the Diamond Bank Management or he is ready to frustrate the matter in Court that my lawyer should choose one which my lawyer also refused.

They now filled a process to strike ULOMA JIDE-AFONJA’S name the Diamond Bank Manager from the suit already filled against her and Diamond Bank Management and the suit is slated for hearing without knowing that the purpose of filling the process to strike out her name from the suit already slated was to come to court with kidnappers and assassin to abduct me in F.C.T HIGH COURT, MAITAMA, ABUJA.

 "GOODLUCK who now lives in fears said, "It was during one of the appearances in court that I was abducted with a case that has nothing to do with state security.

THE ONYEWENYI’S FAMILY OF OWERRI, IMO STATE has Raised Alarm on the attempt to Assassinate their Son by the Diamond Bank Business Manager, ULOMA JIDE-AFONJA, THE MANAGEMENT DIAMOND BANK AND THE DEPARTMENT OF SECURITY SERVICE (DSS), calling on the General Public, the Federal Government, The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Security Operators to be aware.  The Family said that anything that happened to their Son Goodluck Onyewuenyi, Diamond Bank Business Manager Uloma Jide-Afonja, Diamond Bank Management and The Department of security Service (DSS) should be held responsible.

AIDS and Ebola Viruses Were "Man-Made:"

NEWS RELEASE FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO 

MEDICAL RESEARCH FOUNDATION 

AIDS and Ebola Viruses Were "Man-Made:"

 Expert Shocks National Radio Audience San 

Francisco - AIDS and Ebola viruses did not originate from monkeys left alone in the wild - they were bioengineered in American laboratories. So says an internationally known public health authority with Harvard credentials, Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz, based on a review of more than 2,500 government documents and scientific reports, some gained through the Freedom of Information Act and never before revealed to the general public. "The Gary Null" show, originating in New York on WBAI radio, syndicated in 20 cities and heard by more than a million people, will air this information, and more, during a one hour interview with Dr. Horowitz beginning on Tuesday, April 23, from 12:00 to 1:00 PM e.s.t., and later in the week throughout the country. Listeners will learn that HIV-1, and its parent, HIV-2, have been traced to National Cancer Institute (NCI) and military funded cancer virus experiments which used infected African green monkeys to produce vaccines intended to prevent hepatitis, leukemia, and other cancers. The documented evidence revealed in Dr. Horowitz's new book, Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola - Nature, Accident or Genocide? (Tetrahedron Publishing Group, 1996), shows that NCI researchers, during the 1960's, mixed viral genes from different animals to produce leukemia, sarcoma, general wasting, and death. This provided the "cancer models" used to study human cancer and begin human vaccine trials. The book, described as the first in-depth exploration into the origins of AIDS and Ebola, and its controversial conclusions, have offended many top AIDS researchers, and been hailed by numerous others who have long questioned the green monkey theory, or feared disease outbreaks from viral vaccine experiments. Reconciling the origin of AIDS and Ebola, as Dr. Horowitz has now done, is important for several reasons: First, many feel that victims of AIDS should not be blamed for starting the epidemic. With this evidence, those living with HIV/AIDS may now be freed from the stigma, shame, and guilt associated with the infection - a boost to their natural immunity. Second, new therapies might be developed from a better understanding of HIV's origin. third, the events precipitating such epidemics should never be allowed to happen again. It is ethically important to understand, and therefore prevent, future outbreaks. Finally, those directly implicated in HIV's development and transmission are the same individuals and institutions capitalizing on the epidemic and humanity's suffering. Though many might consider this preposterous, as one Emerging Viruses review recently cautioned, "withhold any out-of-hand dismissal until you read this book," or tune into Dr. Null's extraordinary program.
