Senate Majority Leader Teslim Folarin Discharged From Murder Trial by Chuks84(m): 10:54am On Jan 14, 2011
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.

Where are we going? Guilty or not guilty, how was this man released? This gives us a window into the future, a president that considers his subjects above the law. GEJ/SAMBO 2011? God help us!

Did he fire the Gun?
Any sane society will make him go through a trial and if guilty jailed for his sins.
