The story has emerged of how the late grandfather of the president-elect of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, loathed the British government till his death. The indication to this came from a member of the Obama family, Mrs Sarah Onyango Obama.

Reports have it that Hussein Onyango Obama, Mr Obama’s paternal grandfather, was an activist during his days and that he got involved in the Kenyan independence movement while working as a cook for a British army officer after the war.

However, he was incarcerated in 1949 for two years in a maximum prison where he was severely tortured and humiliated in the bid of the British security officers to extract confessional statements from him.

Speaking further, Mrs. Sarah said:

He was arrested in 1949 and jailed for two years in a high-security prison where, according to his family, he was subjected to horrific violence to extract information about the growing insurgency.

The report also has it that:

The African warders were instructed by the white soldiers to whip him every morning and evening till he confessed,” said Sarah Onyango, Hussein Onyango’s third wife, the woman Mr Obama refers to as “Granny Sarah”.
