We have seen, again and again, heavy men in Jurisdictions outside here, committed to prison by their own regular, national courts.
The recent Convictions of a former president and a sitting president’s son, by ordinary men and women called Jury, make this point more powerfully.
Here, the Police cannot even invite an ordinary Local Govt chairman for questioning.
A Court cannot even dare.
Not to talk of daring to touch ministers and governors and then, the almighty President.
Not here.
Sometimes we even call on the Int’l community to come and help us. And then now, there is a Stand Alone International Criminal Court to help.
Instead of championing and encouraging it, we are providing support for its weakening by resorting to that old Throwback.
Curiously, it is the very people who are most likely to be the Defendants in that Court, that are championing the racist blackmailing of the Court to weaken it, providing us with the facts and grounds in that.
If Oyibo, with regular light and water and highly well taken care of citizens allow their own to be shielded, (and of course they can punish them in their municipal Courts) we who have no lights and no water and whose many citizens are beggars arising from atrocities of few, should also shield them.
Are we reasoning at all.
Africans, Ronu!
Kunle Edun rights lawyer adds:
And for more than a month, a former State Governor has refused to appear in Court to answer criminal charges and being shielded from the law by a sitting Governor. The Police, DSS and the government are all silent. They all know where the former Governor is.
