Nigeria's Senate Majority Leader, Teslim Folarin, charged in the daylight murder of Lateef Salako, aka "Eleweomo", the factional leader of the National Union of Road Transport workers in Ibadan, Oyo state, is a free man!

Senator Folarin's "discharge" was due to the intervention of Goodluck Jonathan, who is trying to head off an ugly situation with angry lawmakers and put their loyalty on his side. The legislators claim to have had an agreement with Jonathan for all Senators to be returned unopposed. In last week’s convention in the states, however, about 50 senators and 60 members of the House of Representatives were in on their way out.

A mass protest by the angry Senators got the attention of Jonathan, who promised to rectify the situation, starting with the release of the Senator Folarin today.

The Inspector General's office, which had hastily ordered Senator Folarin to be charged, reportedly discovered that the Commissioner of Police in Oyo state was acting on a script hatched by the governor, Bayo Alao-Akala.

Tragic indeed . A travesty of justice carried out by those sworn to defend the rule of law always and above everything else. Let us not forget that Folarin was actually refused bail !!! All of a sudden he is innocent and all charges just dissapear into thin air .
