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!!!!

May God bless u big time! Most people here are just blind to see whats truly going on; this is really a big shame to the judicial system of the country where ethnic sentiments have been allowed to infiltrate the delivery of sound judgement.Very lazy judgement; how can u just water down a 326 page judgement just like that. These are the type of judges who are ready to pronounce any judgement in favour of the highest bidder. This is a big slap to the judicial system and a huge shame on this country; not even the judges can be trusted again. Nothing less is expected from this power hungry tribe(Northerners) who are always ejecting tribal sentiments into whatever they do. They are in charge of the National Judicial Council, they also have the Court of Appeal in their grips after that "retardeen" up there controversially deleted the person that was trying to input a little bit of sanity and trust in the Judicial System(Justice Ayo Salami). This people(Northerners) have the highest number of judges in Nigeria 'cos its a much easier and stress-free avenue to success compared to being a practicing lawyer. Very lazy judgement and lazy set of judges altogether. May God and posterity judge you Al-mustapha and Shofolahan 'cos you'll definitely account for the blood of the innocent you've shed. And to those corrupt set of lazy judges may you also be denied justice when you dearly need it. I weep for this country; most especially I weep for the Yorubas. Tinubu hope you are happy wherever you are now; you better be careful 'cos u're about to associate yourself with a set of power hungry wolves(Northerners). By the time they collect that power they will eat you up. Go and ask Afonja, Awolowo and Abiola they have bitter stories to tell about this people(Northerners); political backstabbers. I rest my case!!!

thegoodjoehunt: No matter how bad you feel, you can't blame the judges for the shady work done by the prosecutors and judges of the Lagos high court. Till today no one has come out from the Abiola family to point out Shofolahan as Late Kudirat's PA. You can't throw a man into the gallows if you are not sure he did the crime.

Do yu know any concrete evidence that proves Al-Mustapha ordrlered the hit?

thegoodjoehunt: He accused the prosecutors of inducing him to lie. If it was not true, the burden of proof lies on their shoulders. They shoupd have done something to prove he wasn't induced. Thrle prosecution mesed up the case and the judges were fair.

Ice4jez: shot up my friend.thank God the killer and killee na muslim

So where was Shofolahan working at that time? Who was he working for? How did he get linked up to the case? Did they just pick him on the street and tagged him "former PA" of the deceased Kudirat Abiola?

Guy, the evidences are clear and available. They were just thwarted to allow these guys walk away. Simple!!!

On your last question, I will ask you to first go and read the details of Sergeant Rogers first statements that he later claim was induced. Those statements including those made in the cases of attempted murder on Alex Ibru and Pa Abraham Adesanya were too detailed to have been induced by the police who didn't know the internal workings of the security surrounding the late head of state - Gen. Sanni Abacha. Rogers confessed to shooting Abraham Adesanya at close range on the orders of Al-Mustapha. Even TELL Magazine at the time published the entire confession. If Rogers fabricated all that confession, then he is the smartest liar in the whole world!!! How in the world will the Appeal court dismiss those statements when Rogers didn't mention how much he was offered or even named the person that induced him? Rogers admitted that he made those statements, he didn't deny making them. The Appeal Court judgement is lacking in credibility! And I'm asking again, when did bullets used in a murder become the sole evidence on which a murder case can be decided? Where in the world does a court dismiss a murder case just because the prosecution couldn't produce bullets?

To answer your question, Rogers stated categorically that Al-Mustapha gave the order. He admitted to pulling the trigger. Many years passed, he walked as a free man, hungry and susceptible to the machinations of the agents of the defendants, came back and said all those long factual statements he made were not so...haba!!!!! I'm not surprised, they took clues from the James Ibori's 1995 conviction in which evidences were thwarted to frustrate the subsequent case of eligibility to be Delta Governor.

Bottom line, the entire system of legal administration in Nigeria is a huge joke!

X-factoria:


No, the burden of proof lies on Sergeant Rogers to proof that he was induced. You don't just retract statements like that.

Toktee: Retar.d,let those who sentence him to death by hanging challenge the judgement at the supreme court na,i wonder wether you read the news before contributing the trash above,if you do,you will see that the woman debunked evry point raised by the previous ruling with facts,only an illitrate like you cannot and will not see it......."incopetent"

thegoodjoehunt:
I'll take a Judge who has a thorough understanding of the law over a jury system. For instance it would have been difficult for a jury to throw Al-Mustapha%s case out because of sentiments from the media which have painted him guilty. A competent judge will always look at the sentiments on ground.
