Icheoku reiterates our earlier call that upon capture, the hold-over former president of Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo, should be tried for his crimes against the people of Ivory Coast - the thousands killed by his refusal to cede power and its attendant break down of law and order. Upon conviction, he should be hanged publicly in a square in Abidjan as an example to other African wanna-be sit-tight leaders. Laurent Gbagbo deserves no mercy as he showed none to his perceived enemies; the full weight of the law should be brought down on him alongside his wife Simeone, who instigated his obstinacy and refusal to surrender power.Icheoku says that no amount of plea should be enough to mitigate his atrocities; and Gbagbo and his wife Simone should be made the African version of Romania's Nikolai Ceausescu and wife Elena. Also like the late Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, who himself was captured inside a fox-hole, Gbagbo's fat neck is only good for the hangman's noose! Look at his face of terror or should Icheoku say face of fear with an unkempt and haggard-looking wife Simone's terrified disbelief. Just another example of the curse of Africa - disgruntled leadership and Icheoku prays the West continue to be more proactive with removing these African despots from power before they plunge their countries into unimaginable crisis.
