MR USIFO ATAGA WAS BUTCHERED IN COLD BLOOD-FEMI FANI-KAYODE.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

Mr. Usifo Ataga was butchered in cold blood.  The fact that he went to a hotel to sleep with a 21 year old woman does not mean he deserves to be butchered.  He was slaughtered and gutted like a barbecue pig in an abbatoir and his blood was drained simply because he has a high libido and a weakness for women.  Some people are now trying to rationalise his murder and justify it and they are claiming that he "deserved what he got!" This is utterly shameful.  This man was BUTCHERED in cold-blood by a cowardly, worthless, dangerous, conflicted, psychotic, drug-crazed, sociopathic, psychopathic, predatory, wicked, heartless prostitute and monstrous sex maniac who stole his money after cutting his throat and slicing open his stomach.  She watched him die slowly and probably enjoyed every minute of it as the demons in her rejoiced and screamed "hail satan!".  This was a triumph for the devil and no-one else and the man was the victim whilst this heartless Dalilah and Jezebe
