Wicked German police puts Nigerian in 24 years physical hell


Written by Blessed Adjekpagbon

German police cap
Prince Willy Onus, a Nigerian has accused a German police officer for the woes he has faced so far for over 24 years since his alleged illegal deportation from Germany.
During a recent chat with Bulkybon Periscopes in Lagos, Nigeria, Willy profusely lamented about how one German police officer, Mr. Herr Kruger, brutalized and victimized him because of his refusal to forcefully get married to the officer's daughter known as Mandy Kruger in Germany. The victim claimed the officer wanted him to marry his daughter after he (Willy) had won a lottery twenty four years ago.
“After I had won the lottery, Mr. Kruger wanted me to marry his very wayward daughter by force, but I refused. I had no courtship or relationship with his daughter (Mandy) who wanted me to date and marry her by all means,” Willy said. 
He explain that, “When it dawned on him that I cannot be intimidated to marry his daughter, he arrested me on false charges over two identities. I was illegally imprisoned for five months. While in the prison, some police officers who were his boys were coming to take me to Kruger’s house for an illegal marriage. Then, when I refused, they took me back to the court, talking about the case of two identities. Then, I made them understand that one of the two identities was not functional because, it was meant to obtain political asylum which was no longer in use.
"The judge (Judge Ruppert), said he doubted that I am an African due to my body complexion and accent. He said he studied in Oxford University, and assumed that I am from Britain.”
Willy said he is not a British citizen but a Nigerian, even though he looks like a mulatto.  The victim also claimed that the state lawyer who handled the case made things worse by telling him (Willy) that if he should obtain a German resident permit with fake identity, and it was found out, it should be revoked and he will be sent back to prison for a year. Owing to that, Willy insisted on maintaining his authentic identity as a Nigerian.
“The judge then produced a resident permit that bore the identity of recognizing me as a citizen of Lesotho, which I had used to apply for political asylum that was not functional. Then, they kept all the documents aside, and asked me to go to the Nigerian embassy in Germany to get a proof of my real identity from the then Nigerian Ambassador to Germany.
“Unfortunately, the ambassador refused to prove me a Nigerian. This was what made me to travel to Nigeria through emergency travelling certificate to obtain my passport by myself. Before I could leave for Nigeria, the German police came and inserted surveillance device in my ear-drum without my knowledge. Due to this situation, any embassy I stepped into to obtain visa, they passed information to them to deny me visa. Hence, my effort to return to Germany after obtaining my Nigerian passport has been abortive, as a way to continue to deny me opportunity to get access to my lottery money and my residence permit.
“I have been through hell for over 24 years since I left Germany for Nigeria without taking a pin from my apartment where I was living in Brandenburg, because I made the journey from the prison and was not allowed to go to my apartment. The most painful aspect is my university certificate which I did not take along so that I can be able to use it to work and further my studies as a qualified gynecologist.”
Willy said due to lack of his certificate, he resorted to doing all sorts of odd jobs such as riding a motorbike (popularly called Okada in Nigeria) to survive in Nigeria. He said he has been involved in some road accidents due to the reckless driving of some road users in the country. He also said that the most horrible incident that almost claimed his life was a fire accident that happened to him not quite long.
However, Willy made a recent legal attempt to recover his personal documents and property in Germany by contacting a white female German lawyer, Ariane Hansen, whom he sent his case file, to assist him to get his documents and other vital things left behind in his apartment. This move have not yielded any positive result yet, because of the sum of Five Thousand Euro that she demanded as legal fees to handle the case.
“Where am I going to get such amount of money to pay her when I have been frustrated over the years with no certificate to practice my profession and raise money to live a decent life like my professional colleagues worldwide?” Willy wonders.
It is on this basis that he is soliciting for well meaning individuals, Non-Governmental organizations and human right bodies to come to his aid, to get his certificate and other personal belongings back, as things are becoming more rough and difficult for him to survive in Nigeria. He claimed that he won Ten Million Euro in a lottery in 1995, which made the police officer to try to force him to marry his daughter. He is now seeking for assistance to get back his resident permit in 1995 as a Nigerian, compensation for the illegal imprisonment for five months in Germany, and removal of surveillance planted on him to deny him visa to travel back to Germany.
