barcanista: You said this "On Fani Kayode, the EFCC Failed to Bring In Any Witness and Had Amended The Charges "NO CASE SUBMISSION"... meaning that no-case was entered by EFCC which was not true. No case submission is known to law, if the defence counsel succed, they get the case thrown out without calling witness, if they fail, the case will resume and they will have to provide witness. EFCC is saying that there is a case to answer, it is now the judge to decided based on the prosecuting evidence if there is a case to answer or not. All the world over, a criminal can be acquitted on technicality grounds, the question should be, why did the EFCC charge his with something that is unknown to law? 4 Likes |

datolee:Roger Clinton was convicted in 1985, and was pardoned in 2001. That is good 16 years. Nigeria law permit for convict to be of good character for a MINIMUM of 10years befor they can vie for any office(technically pardoned). Alams was convicted in 2006, and pardoned 7years after. The most annoying thing is that he is a wanted man in the United Kingdom. 2 Likes |

GEJ the balless and corruption advocate. The tenure of GEJ is promo for every corrupt individual to steal and go scot-free. After much noise, everything will die down with time, and it will be HAPPILY EVER AFTER. 2 Likes |
Re: .......... by Nobody: 11:45pm On Nov 13, 2014 |
datolee:Technically the EFCC is entering a "No Case" Submission. Why will a Prosecutor not present any witness in a case? No serious prosecutor will do that. This is not the first. The same tactics was used in the case of Adolphus Wabara. Bros, you have no point. The defence is only playing the script by formally entering a no-case. Why wasn't it so under Musa Yar Adua? lol.. Very funny |

I would also like the Pro-GEJites to answer this because Nigerians need an explanation: “Who presided over the FEC meeting on October 2009, where a 4 km runway at Abuja Airport was awarded for N64bn?” Late President Yar’adua was already in Saudi Hospital as at the time, so I wouldn't expect you guys to tell us he was the one! 1 Like |

datolee: Serving his jail term doesn't make him a lesser thieve. I don't even expect any sane fellow to hobnob with Alams after the great humiliation done to him, let alone granting him a state pardon. Why exactly was he pardoned? To become politically relevant again so as to continue stealing? If not for that GEJ and James Ibori were not in good terms, he would have been roaming the streets of Nigeria freely now. |
Re: .......... by Nobody: 12:01am On Nov 14, 2014 |
barcanista: Like I said before, No case submission does not mean the case will be thrown out, it is for the judge to decided. Like in this case, the judge dimissed the no case submission and the trial continued http://newtelegraphonline.com/n20m-fraud-court-dismisses-ex-bankers-case-submission/ By the way when we talk about Yaradua and corruption, I hope you haven't forgotten Ibori saga 3 Likes |

datolee:Bros the purpose of the State Pardon is not to reward political benefactors. Agreed that it is his prerogative as President, but the offence was against the People of Bayelsa State. He still have a case to answer in London btw |

datolee:Bros the Prosecutor here produced witnesses and documents to support, the Judge had to dismiss the Defence call for a No Case Submission Ruling on the application filed by Ojo’s counsel, Mr N.O. Olagunju, Justice Adeniyi Onigbanjo held that the defendant had a case to answer.The Court said the defence had a case to answer. But the EFCC's case on FFK is a different ball game. the EFCC brought NO single witness, No serious court will take such. It is technically a call for "No Case" |

Re: .......... by Nobody: 1:11am On Nov 14, 2014 |
donphilopus: The original length of the runway was 4.5km It is very easy to shout corruption and what's not.. Each and every airport runways has specification that is why some airplane can land in some airport but can't in others. The first question should be, what are the specifications? There are runways that cost more than $1 billion example, Gatwick, Brisbane Airport, Hartsfield-Jackson’s Runway 5th and 6th runways. 3 Likes |

Even those that may be facing persecution by colleagues to give in to corruption could not get any consolation from Jonathan. On national tv he announced: Stealing is not corruption! The biggest evil anyone can do to Nigeria, is to vote for the corruption in Abuja. 1 Like |

It was't easy for Lawrence Anini. It wasn't easy for Umana. It was't easy for Shina Rambo. Sani Abacha did it. Mobutu Sese Seko did it. Now you're doing it. Mr President, keep stealing because those behind you are more than those against you. This message is from the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Sincere9gerian:How many High Profile conviction from members of his Cabinet and party? At least Obasanjo showed it(though selectively). He fired the Minister of Finance, Okonjo Iwaela in 2006 based on an indictment, and removed her from the Economic Team He fired a Minister of Education Fabian Osuji based on indictment and instituted his prosecution. He fired an incumbent Inspector General, prosecuted him and secured his conviction. He Prosecuted 5 Senators that were associated to Osuji's case, including the Senate President Wabara, who was impeached. Gov Alams pleaded guilty and was convicted plus many other cases, Please how many have we witnessed under GEJ? 1 Like |
