Whether GEJ is guilty or not, Who doesnt know EFCC is a Toothless Bulldog in the hands of this APC led govt used to witch hunt the opposition alone! They should be Independent and act wrt why the commission was instituted in the first place. This was exactly what OBJ did too.

Nonsense application

"The suit which was filed on Wednesday has yet to be assigned to any judge and no hearing date has been fixed."

Please the Judges are busy at the moment to entertain this worthless application, let EFCC keep him till May 31. By then his Oga Jonathan would be in custody with him. Nonsense!

Meanwhile i am listening to Ali Chukwumas' Ezi Okwu Bu Ndu. An amazing song

The accusation if Efcc trying to enforce him to implicate Jonathan is all a ruse. it's been clear for sometime now that for some cogent reason, this Administration does not intends not to arrest or embarrass Jonathan. There is already enough link or evidence to invite Jonathan if they wanted to. Dasuki has said to anyone who cares to listen, everything he did, he did on instructions of the President.

So I think Azibaola coached by his fake activist lawyer, Adegboruwa, is only trying to be clever by half.

DONSMITH123:
The detained cousin of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Robert Azibaola, has urged a Federal High Court in Lagos to declare as unlawful any attempt by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to make him indict the ex-President.

In a fresh suit filed on Wednesday, Azibaola’s lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, claimed that any attempt to make his client indict the ex-President was a violation of Section 7 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, “which has outlawed the practice of arresting a citizen as ransom for the alleged offence of another citizen.”

Azibaola, who claimed to have been in the EFCC’s detention since March 23, is also, through Adegboruwa, urging the court to bar the EFCC from approaching any magistrate’s court to obtain any remand warrant extending his detention in the anti-graft agency’s facility.

The EFCC had reportedly detained Azibaola on the allegation that he diverted $40m through a company, One-Plus Holdings, which was awarded the contract of pipeline surveillance.

The EFCC had transferred him from Abuja to Lagos where it on April 22 obtained a warrant from a Lagos State Magistrate’s Court in Ikeja to remand him pending conclusion of investigation into his alleged crime.
But in the new fundamental rights enforcement action filed on Azibaola’s behalf on Wednesday, Adegboruwa contended that the EFCC could not rely on sections 293 and 294 of the ACJA to continue to detain his client.

He claimed that those sections of the law were designed for criminal offences such as murder, armed robbery, kidnapping and treasonable felony, which attract capital punishment for which the police would need time to await a legal advice from the office of the Attorney-General.

a) Was $40Million paid to the named company? Forty Million Dollars, for God's sake? Wetin
b) Are you the beneficiary owner of such company?
c) Was "due process" followed in awarding such contract? (e.g, through Public tender?)
d) Are you qualified to discharge the contract for which such humongous amount was paid to your company?
e) Did you discharge the contract, as awarded ..... or just made-off with the money?
f) Depending on the answers and result of investigations into the above questions, are you GUILTY (or Not) under Nigerian law?

SeverusSnape:
We already know EFCC is the dullard's attack dog, Since they don't have any evidence to indict GEJ, They are now trying to use his cousin. No Matter What they do, A strand of hair of GEJ will not be touched.

GEJ is as clean as a whistle, Hypocrisy is when you think GEJ is corrupt but think Buhari is a saint.

Buhari who helped Abacha embezzle our treasury is fighting corruption; See the irony. It's like telling a fowl to safeguard a bowl of grain for you.

Azibaola, who claimed that he is being persecuted based on his blood relation with ex-President Jonathan, also accused the EFCC of having perfected the plan to keep transferring him from state to state in order to keep renewing the remand warrant to ensure that he was perpetually kept in detention.

He urged the court to order the EFCC to immediately charge him to court or release him if it was not ready to do so.

The suit which was filed on Wednesday has yet to be assigned to any judge and no hearing date has been fixed.

Gej doesn't sign cheque. Case closed!

erico2k2:

As clever as U are.which comes first in a case bounding corruption? Investigate gather evidence then arrest and charged to court? Or arrest investigate gather evidence and then charge to court? Which??

Ignorance pervades this Nigeria too much!

there are cases where the investigating agency needs to arrest first (after establishing a prema-facie case), before further investigation..... if it is shown that the continuing liberty of the accuse might jeopardise the case!

First, these alleged criminals should stop playing the "Victim Game", Nigerians are now wiser than before.


Let me explain:
If they force you to "indict the Ex-President", two things can happen:
a) You can deny your evidence in a court room, in front of the Judge, claiming it was obtained under duress
b) Investigation of such evidence, would show that it is not tenable, just "cooked-up"

On the other hand, I want the court and all Nigerians to focus on THE SUBSTANCE of the ALLEGATION, irrespective of whether Jonathan is involved or not. Again, let me explain


a) Was $40Million paid to the named company? Forty Million Dollars, for God's sake? Wetin
b) Are you the beneficiary owner of such company?
c) Was "due process" followed in awarding such contract? (e.g, through Public tender?)
d) Are you qualified to discharge the contract for which such humongous amount was paid to your company?
e) Did you discharge the contract, as awarded ..... or just made-off with the money?
f) Depending on the answers and result of investigations into the above questions, are you GUILTY (or Not) under Nigerian law?

These is how trials proceed, not running to the Newspapers and trying to get cheap and inconsequential sympathies from fellow thieves and #Wailers. Or trying to Blackmail the EFCC into "inaction".

As to detention orders and renewal of such orders, let us make it clear that these offences are TREASONOUS and CRIMINAL because they are what have brought the country to its present predicament, with "unsung death" of hundreds of thousands of Nigerians.
The Agency has the right to detain and investigate further, once a "prema-facie case" has been initially established.
