FLASH: Federal High Court, Abuja frees Former Speaker, Dimeji Bankole & his deputy Hon Usman Nafada.


A Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday said a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dimeji Bankole, and his erstwhile deputy, Bayero Nafada, had no case to answer in connection with a N40 billion misapropriation charge.

Justice Suleiman Belgore gave the verdict while ruling on a no-case submission made by Bankole and Nafada over a 17-count charge of criminal breach of public trust preferred against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Both men were accused of having approved loans that were not captured in the 2010 Appropriation Act.
On Monday, their lawyers had asked the court to discontinue the trial and discharge and acquit them on the grounds that the prosecution did not provide ample evidence to justify the trial.

However, the prosecuting counsel, Festus Keyamo, had countered the submission of the defence and insisted that they breached extant financial regulations when they resolved to take loans to pay members’ enhanced allowances.

That is what you get when those in authority are not sincere, you know his trial at the beginning was witch hunting, just as they did to Vincent Ogbulafor, now that their motive has been acheive they set him free to continue enjoying his loot.

This kind of atrocities committed by nigerian government in coll laboration with nigerian rogue judiciary are the only reason bokoharam will gain ground in nigeria.

Nigerian leaders like bankole are just as bad terrorists as the islamists.

Instead of pursuing the loan case, the EFCC should have looked into the torchlight one. That one contains clear evidence of inflated contracts, taking a loan is perhaps abuse of office, but it is not a crime.
I am sure the inflated contracts case is still alive.

Bankole MUST not go scott-free. angry

EFCC and Nigerian Courts will never convict any political office holder from SW, NE or NW geopolitical zones. EFCC is setup by government led by Yoruba and its first chairperson was a Fulani. There is a hidden code behind the creation of EFCC. I really want the useless agency scrapped. EFCC is a government’s official tool for blackmail.
Nigerians are shameless suckers anyway.

and corruption has further been institutionalized, now we can never fight the issue - they have been chasing air, i knew a they only wanted to show his face on television to quell our appetite for justice and let the rubbish continue with a clueless president, and now the country, is going down *rubbish*
Re: Court Frees Bankole And Nafada by Nobody: 3:20pm On Jan 31, 2012
RULES TO LIVE IN NIGERIA AND BE ABOVE THE LAW.

1) If you want to steal, NEVER steal below N1,000,000,000. Yes! You saw it right. One Billion Naira. You stand a chance to be sentenced to life in Prison for stealing lesser amounts.
If you are still in doubt Ask Igbenedion, Tafa Balogun, Cecilia Ibru, Akingbola, bode George, Tinubu, Alamiesia, Dimeji Bankole.

2) If you Must commit murder, make sure your victim is a Government Official, Elite or a well known person in the society. You can drag your case for as long as possible and the Judge will only shakara you with a "death by hanging" sentence which when you appeal, the Upper court will surely free you. Ask Rev Chris, Fryo, Klifford Oji, Al-Mustapha.

3) If you want to choose your friends choose ONLY "highly" corrupt individuals. Never associate with men of dignity and sincerity because the Government will term you an "enemy of Government". And even charge you with Felony and Treason.
If you are in doubt, ask Wole Soyinka, Falana, Agbakoba, Tunde Bakare.

4) To get easy government appointment, Continue to criticize government ( but Never Ever reveal secrets to the public at your disposal).
If you think otherwise ask Fani Kayode, Reuben Abati, Livi Ajonama.

5) When you get to the top NEVER EVER RUB SHOULDERS WITH YOUR BOSS (the president). He has the power to mess you up in seconds.
If you are in doubt ask Ayo Fayose, Joshua Dariye, Alamisia, Timipre Sylvia.

If you dare break any of these rules prepare to be like any of the following;

1) The Mechanic in Abuja who got a life in prison sentence for stealing a car radio after already spending 10years in detention.

2) The man whose arms got amputated in Zamfara for stealing 2 Butters of Yam.

3) The lady who was stripped naked for stealing a BlackBerry phone & her picture on the internet.
