Yus,
Thank you very much, for the clarification. You will be surprise to hear that
Ebou is not even contacting me. My sympathy for him is just based on the
brotherly respect he gave me. I could have got the same sympathy for any other
brother / sister / whatever, if they had faced such difficulties, but I will
never support his / her action.
This the same position I have taken in the Ebou issue. Secondly, my arguement has
been that, we should also treat the other people who stole our coffers the same
way.
But Matarr Sallah said it all, when he said that they did not get access to the
others.
Regarding your threat on Ebou, I would advise you and others not to attack him,
because you all are living in a highly democratic country, and if you can provide
the burden of proof " beyond a reasonable doubt " then you can challenge him in
the courts. Yus, however angry you are on Ebou, threatening a person`s life or
taking a person`s life is very unIslamic. You were named after a very great and
peaceful old Dad, whom i know personally, so please, be a muslim and drop those
threats. What Ebou or any other thief may have taken in this world, is just a
worldly good and they will leave it here. All our thieves must pay us on the day
of judgement.

Koto Mustapha.

Malamin Johnson, Thanks for your good advise to Yus.
