Toktee: "Sgt rogers was made to recant the testimony"remember rogers was the federal government witness,so sir that is where i have a problem,he was "made" to recant his earlier testimony by who?

ichommy: Waiting to see his poster #2015

ThankGod Edeh: [b][/b] And Dele Giwa

drauj: Man-made laws 4 u . . . technicalities exploited by man to suit man. PS: Does this judgement have anything to do with 2015?

cecegorz: Looks like i'm mixing things up here.
I thought Serg Rojers had earlier admitted he pulled the trigger on the lady. That Al Mustapha was being prosecuted for being the one who gave the licence to kill?
Why are they still talking about bullet being white or colored here

So, at the end of the day, sorry 15years, we still can't hold anybody responsible for the brutal murder of Kudirat?
Ain't the law justifiably an as*s?

TayoT: I heard he's been absorbed back into the military and promoted to the rank of colonel. How true is ds?

Delafruita:
the trial was filled with hatred and sentiments because almustapha ordered the assassination.however,i have gone through the transcripts from the original trial and the appeal and i believe the judgement was the right one based on the evidence before the court.the prosecution didnt prove their case beyond reasonable doubt which is the major factor required to get a conviction.

for those that say the trial lasted too long,it did because almustapha kept coming up with ridiculous injuctions and seeking ridiculous reliefs which necessitated continous adjournments all in the name of a fair trial.sgt rogers testified in open court that almustapha ordered them to kill kudirat.he gave full details but unfortunately,he was made to recant that testimony.

this judgement doesnt erase the truth and almustapha will forever have the blood of kudirat on his head

A A Adam: yes woo! As dsp alamieyeseigha did.

drauj:
I used to have an understanding that facts are brought forth in court when demanded as the case goes on. But a duration of fourteen years for a sensitive case like this, its so obvious it has taken long. Justice here has been denied no matter the outcome. Nigerian legal system . .. . smh.

You see, this judgment and the revelation of poor investigation and evidence gathering by the police are the reasons I laugh at people who continue to believe that Buhari can fight corruption in this country.

I still maintain that, with the current judicial system and the Nigerian Police structure, Buhari's military fight against corruption is irrelevant to this age.

My previous take on this is on the thread below:

I remember that brilliant comment. You actually killed my hope of a gunslinger smiting all the corrut politicians.

Well I still gave you a like with anger of the truth being bitter.

Delafruita:
rogers was not a federal government witness.he was a prosecution witness the prosecutior been the lagos state attorney-general's office.

Maidoki14: No be naija we dey??Almustapha fr Gov.2015 insha allah!

BabaOlowo: The Lower Court Trial Judge should be Dismissed! She has shown gross INCOMPETENCE.

afees hassan: The lawyer did a shoddy job. I did not trust Nigeria.It may be part of boko haram negotiation or they decided to give the case to incompetent lawyer to handle. God dey

Which incompetence did she show?

If you were born or were alive at the time Sergeant Rogers gave his testimonies about how Al-Mustapha directed them in the murder of Kudirat, the burning of General Akinrinade's property, the attempted murder of Alex Ibru and Sen. Abraham Adesanya, the murder of one socialite woman in Ibadan etc, you would know that his statements were too detailed to be an induced fabrication.

Rogers later came back to say he was induced. Don't forget too that the same reason the Appeal court judges mentioned to refuse the admission of the first statements given by Rogers and Katako could also suffice for enough grounds not to believe Rogers was induced to make the first statement because there was no evidence to support the fact that Rogers and the other guy - Katako were induced to lie. The defendants did not show any evidence that the Police offered Rogers money to lie. So the question now is this - Is the fact that Rogers came back many years to say those statements he made (note, he admitted making those statements) were motivated/induced without substantial proof enough ground to dismiss the statements? Please note that many years passed before Rogers denied making the statements. He was in fact walking free at the time and had contact with agents of the defendants who could have induced/threatened him to deny all the damning statements he made at first. The judgment was unduly prolonged and that gave the defendants and his agents enough time to work on Rogers and Katako.

Even the appeal court cannot claim that their judgment is fool-proof! Our entire system of legal administration is a joke in this country!!!!

Sgt. Rogers said he was financially induced to make that statement.
