Why won't he be discharged and acquitted, of course he is untouchable. If he were to come from the east, it would have been a death sentence. Why will someone take another man's life and run away to save his own life. He that lives by the sword shall die by the sword..

Tribal bigots don arrive. The deceased was a Yoruba man and the judge is a Yoruba man and the incident happened in Yoruba land. This was purely and basically about lack of evidence needed to sentence him. You think the judge was happy too? He knew that the accused was guilty but he couldn't sentence him just like that based on guts feeling

Chai! It means Yusuf Ibrahim actually murdered somebody but due to the prosecution handling the case poorly, the criminal was asked to walk away freely by the court! Not the first time in Nigeria anyway that prosecution counsel would handle a confirmed murder case poorly and the court/judge would be given no other choice than to free the "accused".
The one who killed a person in Lagos state, dismembered the body and dumped it trash plastic was eventually freed by the judge when he was brought to court for hearing on three different occasions but the prosecution didn't turn up on those occasions

You have complained about the present system, but you didn't proffer any solution to it!

What can we change that will ensure criminals don't get away with crimes?

Money? Did you read what the judge said? If you were the judge, would you sentence an accuse just like that. The easiest thing to obtain in Nigeria is the police report, they didn't even have that! Medical report? No. Autopsy which is the most important thing? No. And they provided only one eye witness. Lol.
The number of witnesses doesn't really matter!!
The only thing the court needed to set him free is iota of doubt. Even if the evidence you highlighted about were provided, an iota of doubt in those evidence will still set the accused free! grin
State prosecutors are very lazy with thier profession. I have never lost any case against the state! grin cheesy

. The law does not walk in that way!
When a murder case is committed ,it must be reported at a police station. The DPP may have to advise on it. Forensic proof may be needed.. In fact there must an autopsy report connecting the stabbing to the death. All these and other evidences are required to establish a murder case.The lives of both the accused and the dead are necessary. How are we sure what occured really took place. In some cases a poor prosecution like this arises when the deceased family is not interested in the case again.The state team will just make some feeble appearances towards the final settlement out of court.

Blind Lady Justice.

I reckon LASTMA went to court arrogantly believing that the court would rely on their word of mouth or paltry evidence and rule in their favour.

Like I always say, make sure you are not the guy who dies.

RIP Mr Awotola.
exactly for dis life no jst die oh.....lastma people should stop acting like agberos, some people are actually very frustrated.... When I was driving uber/bolt in Abuja, I wanted to pick someone around 4pm, so that I'll be going home and close for the d day, I made a total of 22k that day, immediately I stopped to pick up the dude that booked me, dis council people (agberos) like 4, entered my car and removed my keys.....

All my explanation fell on deaf ears oh, I paid 15k that day, jst imagine, I've been out since 6am and all my efforts for dat day was wasted.... So na why people dey keep knife for inside car bdat.... If na for dis period wey motorists dey buy fuel for 1k and no much gain and u want to take d little dey make again, omo u go collect o

I salute the judge for upholding THE LAW.
This is exactly what the lastma people say when they emasculate and traumatise you: they gleefully tell you "It is the law".. So, hope they now see that the law works both ways.
The werey died like a chicken looking for a free car to auction in their kangaroo alausa mobile court.
Even as the knife was slitting his throat, he was still calculating how much will come to him when the car is auctioned to their syndicate car dealer.
Shioor!
Re: Court Frees Man Accused Of Killing LASTMA Officer by VonSmallhausen: 8:36am On Oct 02
My take on this matter is that the accused pleaded with the Man's family and made monetary restitutions, paid the police and prosecution, and they took pity on him given he had probably spent 2 years in Kirikiri.
Based on this the authorities could have made all the evidence disappear and purposely delivered a watery case which they knew would fail in court.

We as a people are too merciful for our own good, and that is part of the reason law and order cannot obtain in our society. Really sad.

Yorubas can fear the north eeh.
See the way the ones here are trying to explain away everything
Which evidence is the court looking for?
Were their no eye witnesses accounts?
The report even said he abandoned his vehicle and fled.
Does it that the ownership of the vehicle could not be traced to him?
Question?
