Leyla Durmus lost her 21-year-old son Kaya after he died from an opioid overdose in 2016.
Kaya is buried at Memory Gardens Cemetery in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Leyla visits his grave every day and is on a mission to spread awareness about opioid addiction.
One day while visiting her son’s grave site, Leyla noticed a flyer for a social gathering being held on the cemetery grounds. It would be hosting a showing of Raiders of the Lost Ark on a Saturday night, where guests would enjoy the famed Indiana Jones film on an open field away from the grave sites, but in view of people’s resting places.
Leyla was outraged. The concerned mother found it totally inappropriate for the cemetery to host a fun movie night on the grounds. She called the event “disgusting” and “very disrespectful to me as a grieving mother.”
Gen. Diya was crossed examined at the Human Rights Violation Commission (HRVIC) on the coup plan 1997 to overthrow Gen.

Nigeria has seen the rise and fall of many military regimes since she became a sovereign state in 1960 and this, at every turn, has altered the direction of the country.
General Sani Abacha is perhaps Nigeria’s most enigmatic head of state. He reigned from 1993 until his death in 1998. General Abacha was born in Kano state, northern Nigeria on September 20, 1943. He hails from Kanuri in Borno state.
He passed out of the Nigerian Military Training Centre in Kaduna where he proceeded to Mons Officer Cadet School in Aldershot, England before being commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in 1963.
