THE STORY
Stanley Eteimo’s body was found floating in a private beach in Cyprus on Thursday 8th August. The 28 year budding singer and student (pictured above) had gone to a party at a popular 5-star hotel called Kratos Hotel the previous day Wednesday August 7th with some friends.

According to the friends of the late Bayelsa state indigene, while at the party, he met a white girl he knew from school and started chatting with her. The white girl’s boyfriend, who was also at the party, got jealous and confronted Stanley, which led to serious argument between the two men. The white dude allegedly threatened to kill Stanley for disrespecting him and was overhead saying nothing will happen because Stanley was in his country.

At 2am, some of the friends Stanley came with to the party were leaving and asked him to come along but he insisted he was still having fun and wanted to stay back. By 4am, the party had ended and the Nigerian boys who left at the close of the party didn’t see him and assumed he had gone home

By 3pm on Thursday 8th of August, management of Kratos Hotel called the police informing them of seeing a body floating by the shore of their private beach. It was Stanley.

Cyprus police have declared it a suicide case without autopsy. They are claiming he committed suicide by drowning himself. His brother who went to identify Stanley’s body said he saw blood stain from his ear, mouth and nose.

The brother insists it’s not suicide because Stanley had no reason to commit suicide and wants the guy who threatened him at the party that night investigated. Also, the hotel refused to provide CCTV tapes of that particular day. During the day, the 5star hotel has workers, life guards and security guards, who have all denied either seeing Stanley come in or go out of the premises.

Stanley recently got engaged to a Cyprus lady, Gozde (pictured above). His friends are worried the case will be swept under the rug because it’s a black and white thing and wanted to get the story out.
Friends of Stanley Eteimo say he was a friend to everybody, loved life, had a great spirit, transparent soul and a lovely personality.
“We have lost a rare gem and a terrific person.” They said

His candle light remembrance will take place at Club W’s winter parking lot, Girne today Sunday 11th of August. It starts at 7pm . May his soul rest in peace. Amen.

Hope our embassy in that country will look into this matter.

The honest truth of the matter is that, if you think racism is bad in America, you should see what goes on in some parts of Europe for example, Greece, Italy, Cyprus, Germany to name a few countries. Unfortunately there were no Martin Luther Kings out there. The Majority of blacks over there are either there as students, work related, refugees, prostitution or just there illegally. The government in these country to an extent do not regard Blacks as contributors to the country’s economy. So many of these insane murders have happened and are swept under the rug. It is time we hold our government responsible for sitting idle while Nigerian citizens die abroad with no external investigation, no probes, nothing! If Stanley was a US Citizen that died this way, it will be on CNN and the US embassy will not rest until they have determined what happened to its citizen. I urge Nigerians in the diaspora to put pressure on Nigerian embassies, especially on the Nigerian Ambassador to Cyprus, so justice is served and the perpetrators of this heinous crime, are put to justice.


Thank you.
