The judgment of His Lordship Justice
Awokulehin today,
17 December 2009 in the case of stealing
and money laundering against James
Onanefe Ibori, a former Governor of
Delta state did not come as a surprise.
The Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders
saw it coming and we made all efforts to
let the poor people of
Nigeria,
and indeed the pauperized people of
Delta
State whose money Ibori and his cohorts
shamelessly plundered get justice.
The signs of the incipient miscarriage
of justice were unmistakable:
·
Moving the case against Ibori from
Kaduna Federal High court to Asaba;
·
Glorification of fraud by establishing a
special friendly court in favour of the
accused felon in Asaba;
·
Diplomatic abracadabra to pervert the
course of justice in England in the case
of money laundering against Ibori’s
accomplices;
·
Acceptance of unholy gift of buildings
from Ibori’s accomplices to house the
Asaba Division of the Federal High Court
and its judge in Asaba;
·
The brazen comtemptious bravado of
Ibori’s agents in claiming judicial
victory, even before the case against
their principal was determined;
·
The list of the judicial bad omen is
unending.
We in CACOL nevertheless have an
unflinching faith in the judiciary. We
shall not go to sleep until the case
gets to the pinnacle of our judicial
system where we hope men and women of
honour and virtue will look at the case
again and give the hopeless man on the
street Asaba a hope to live for.
Meanwhile we are studying the contents
of the ruling and shall make
comprehensive response to it soon.
