See How MKO Abiola’s Wife, Kudirat Abiola Was Gunned Down In Lagos
Earlier in May, Kudirat faced charges of alleged conspiracy and making false statements against the military regime of Sani Abacha at a Lagos High Court but was acquitted. She was later charged again with the same offenses and released on bail pending her trial in July 1996.
However, events took a drastic turn. On Tuesday, June 4 that year, around 3:05 pm near the 7-Up Depot/Bus Stop in Ikeja, Kudirat and her driver were ambushed by six gunmen. They shot her at close range even as her driver was not spared. She lost consciousness from the trauma and was rushed to Eko Hospital for urgent medical attention.

Efforts to save her by the medical team failed as she succumbed to her injuries and died. Kudirat was 44 years old at the time of her death. Also, her driver did not survive the attack. The report of her death reopened old wounds and elicited angry reactions among many Nigerians who were still trying to cope with the ill-treatment meted against Kudirat’s husband after he won the presidential election. Her death was seen as a politically motivated killing since she was seen as a threat and thorn in the flesh by the military regime.
In response to the tragic event, General Abacha expressed condolences to the family, attributing the killing to armed bandits. However, other reports suggested that the motive behind the killing was not robbery. The brutal assassination of Kudirat still generates controversies and blame games among those close Abacha then, and it remains a big stigma associated with the military regime of that era even as her family and many Nigerians demand justice

A frequent aspect of a kid’s existence is pounding knees (and pigeon toes, for that matter) (and pigeon toes, for that matter). Knee alignment in Caucasian kids typically goes from bent at birth to straight at age 2, then to thudding at age 4, and finally to straight again between the ages of 6 and 11.
Why do people with neurotic thump knees have them?
Adjusted muscle force on the bones can cause obsessive thump knees in a few neurological diseases, such as cerebral paralysis or spina bifida.
As a result, beating the knees incessantly may be an indication of something more serious going on below the surface. Adolescents can suffer a major setback if they develop rickets or another bone disease caused by improper mineralization. Neurotic thump knees are often associated with being short or having other bone or joint misalignment. Possible causes include metabolic bone disorder and skeletal dysplasia.
There is a correlation between childhood obesity and a more severe case of thump knees in children who also have flat feet and hypermobile (very pliable) joints.
In your opinion, should they be taken to the hospital for treatment?
Typically, parents bring their child in for their first medical checkup because they are concerned about how their child looks when they are upright or walking. Children that have physiological knock knees will eventually grow out of the condition and don’t need any therapy or follow-up exams.
Knee supports and foot orthotics for adults with excruciating osteoarthritis related to thump knees may be helpful. For youngsters, activities and get-healthy regimens to lower weight and encourage knee development may be beneficial. Nonetheless, there is now inadequate reasonable evidence to support the use of such therapies.
Those with severe or debilitating neurotic thump knees may require a muscle medical procedure to address the knee arrangement if they are in constant pain or are otherwise severely impaired.
