Justice
Adeniyi Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, Abuja ,
has just been discharged by an FCT High Court, Abuja , coram Justice Jude Okeke, after a no
case submission by his defence counsel. His wife, Olubowale and Mr. Joe
Agi,SAN, with whom he was tried, were equally discharged.
Justice Ademola and wife |
This is an
obviously laughable and anti-climax after all the "gra gra", grand standing, posturing, rabble rousing and
wanton degradation of the judiciary by their transducers.
This
discharge, after the horrific humiliation of Justice Ademola, whose home was
savagely invaded by rampaging, masked and hooded DSS operatives, between the
ungodly and unholy hours of 12 mid night to 5am! Windows and doors were
bestially broken down and the Judge whisked off like a common criminal inside a
pick up van.
We were
told to shut up, not to complain, because the government was fighting the
monster called corruption. Never mind that the inner corridors and dark
recesses of the same government reek and stink of putrid and horrendous
corruption, with the very government rising up on each occasion to defend its
corrupt officials.
A case of
wanting to sweep your neighbour's house clean when your own house is dirty and
stinking. A clear case of attempting to remove the mole from your neighbour's
eye when a log is embedded in yours. Justice Ademola was forced to abdicate his
judicial functions.
