Court Denies Agba Jalingo Bail by happney65: 2:56pm On Oct 04, 2019 |
A Federal High Court sitting in Calabar, Cross River State, and presided over by Justice Simon Amobeda, has denied journalist, Agba Jalingo, bail. Jalingo was arraigned on September 25, 2019 on four count charges of treasonable felony, terrorism and attempt to topple the Cross River State Government after 34 days in police custody. Justice Amobeda, who also threw out the preliminary objection of the prosecution counsel, held that the charges were grave with one carrying a capital punishment. He also said that one of the grounds for which bail was applied for was health and there was no substantial evidence to prove that his health was failing. Jalingo was arrested and is being prosecuted for publishing a report exposing how Governor Ben Ayade of Cross River approved and immediately diverted N500m meant for Cross River State Microfinance bank. http://saharareporters.com/2019/10/04/breaking-court-denies-journalist-agba-jalingo-bail?fbclid=IwAR1VRGhvBnVWRMLidARMqil5YEg0mC9CaYi6Z6RQ5koGGdElLuQQMvgvsJU 2 Likes 1 Share |

Let's join hands to applaud this current government for a job well done in trying to gag the media. Buhari is leading the way, and others are gladly following... Till it becomes a norm to imprison anybody who dares report or criticize the government. Nigeria can never get it right again, with the present type of youths and politicians we have. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Am loving this new trend of holding people accountable for their nonsense incitefull statements, yes there is press freedom and freedom of speech, but the moment you feel like you can wake up one day to accuse someone of rape just for blackmail for money, or post libelous false hood about someone with high reputation, then you should be ready to defend your statesment in court or get severely purnished if it was a lie Since Osinbajo Threantened to sue Vanguard and Timi Frank, other newspapers have cautioned themselve so that PDP dont put them to doom, and timi frank as ran to dubai .. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Why not simply sentence him arbitrarily since you are convinced he wants to topple a govt. by writing articles instead of denying bail? Why continue to waste Judicial time since you believe he is already guilty before trial. |

Our political elites across board are gradually becoming tyrants. The kind of nonsense charges they now bring against citizens who criticizes their actions is laughable. What the fvck is “treasonable felony, terrorism and attempt to overthrow the government of Cross River state”. We are gradually turning our democracy to a joke and it is regrettable. This is not the democracy we fought for. Governor Ayade and his PDP cretins must withdraw these silly charges immediately. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The new trend it seems is that if government does not like ones face or the agitation they champion, they will simply arrest the person and slam treason/terrorism charges on him knowing fully well that this will keep the person in detention a long time, and even they are lucky to get bail and fulfil it, it will come stringent conditions that will render you useless They did with Nnamdi Kanu, Sowore and now, Agba Jalingo. |
