And u think the guy doesn't have a mother? Be realistic pls. What if u are d guys father and u knw somehow that your son is being accused of something he isn't totally guilty of? U guys should open your eyes to reality. Nowadays, what a 14yr old child knows, u didn't knw at 27. Trust me.

Bla bla bla. Maybe I should say "may your daughter pass through Ese's ordeal and may people view it in the same light as you do hers"

LadyExcellency:


There should be a clear difference between "the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty" and "free until guilty verdict is pronounced by a competent court".

So, Yellow is not guilty yet while Nnamdi Kalu is guilty and is likely to commit the same crime if granted bail as pronounced by a Judge?

There is disparity in the these two decisions were pronounced and certainly one or both Judges are being tele-guilded.

Bail is a right to an extent until guilty verdict is pronounced by a competent court. However, the application should be universal without external influence.

otokx:
The accused does not have any international passport to deposit. He may just take a stroll into Niger and from there enter Sudan. Our justice system needs to wake up from their slumber. The prosecution too should wake up.

What circumstances?

The Emir is not involved. He gave his ruling that the girl be released to her parents from the very first day that matter was brought to his attention so why are you insistent on dragging the Emir's name in the mud?

Every criminal granted bail has the ability to be a flight risk so why should Yinusa be treated any differently?


I hate the double standards you are advocating be used for this case.

Two men of the 6 involved in raping those teenagers in Ebonyi, one of whom later died in the hospital were granted bail, why should Yinusa be treated worse than them?

authority2006:
They don't want him to be bailed just for allowing a teenager to elope with him. Funny. Is it not a bailable offence again? Or just because Yunusa is Hausa, muslim and a Northerner, he should be treated differently? When you guys wake up to the reality of the damage that baby factories are are doing to your girl teenagers, let me know instead of wasting unnecessary energies on this one which is negligible compares to the large scale destruction of girl minors caused by flourishing baby factories.

Mike008:


From a Biafran point of view - Yes!

But thats not how bail works, moreover the facts in both cases are not the same. Even if they were, the court can still choose not to grant bail. It's a matter of discretion which should be exercised judicially and judiciously.

With your pro-biafran attributes, you already sound like its a bad move granting Nnambi Kalu bail.

ziccoit:
If Dasuki, Methu, Dokpesi etc could be granted bail how much more ordinary abductor? I won't be surprised if Yinusa eventually gets a slap on the wrist.

100Cents:


Ordinary abductor.

You have magnified money above human life.. The funds mismanaged by Dasuki cannot buy one human life.

skymaxnig:

May God forgive you for calling a crime as serious as Abduction ordinary.....

247notire:
Lol. This man. How are profs CMI Okoye and AOE Animalu doing? What of Prof Chukwude? He was my project supervisor in those days. Hope Prof PN Okeke is still around too? Cheers

BraniacX:


that other guy totally figured you right, your thoughts are disturbing coming from a woman and the more you talk the more you disgust us, let's assume like you claim that esse chose to run away with yellow, yellow is 21, ease is 14, what does the Nigerian constitution say about this scenario? didn't it occur to you that by our "secular" laws esse doesn't have the right to make that decision for herself without her parents consent and since she doesn't have that right she can't be held accountable under the law but any adult who aids and abetts that decision by her without parental consent has commited a crime under our law and if that said adult is sexually involved with her the crime becomes paedophilia? if you claim you don't know that then consider yourself educated but if you know and say it doesn't matter, please when your daughter turns 13 or maybe 12 surrender her custody to the nearest illiterate imam run quaranic school so that she can freely express her love to any randy paedophile yinusa or yellow available and don't forget to encourage her, afterall, there's nothing wrong with it

mrphysics:

Wow, they are all fine. PN Okeke is now an Emeritus Professor. Prof Chukwude is good. I left school last month after my convocation, how is life sir.

NobleAngell:
My dear there's no need to get aggressive. Lets have a mature argument. So wait are u saying Ese was under a spell? Do u know what went on behind close doors? And u talk of constitution, how many people even knw what the constitution says? Did u know what the constitution says when u were 21? Is it Yunusa that will know that under the law, ESE is underage and whatever decision she takes is just out of childishness? Have u tot of d possibility that maybe and I repeat maybe he is just as ignorant as she is?

LadyExcellency:


From Islamic Fundamentist point of view, you're correct.

Poor you.

Anyway, my opinion still stand. Nnamdi Kanu never inflicted any harm on any Nigerian or to Nigeria hence all you assumptions are borne out of hate hence misguided.

mrphysics:

BraniacX:

am not being aggressive its just that your arguments are very disappointing given your gender and i assume, your maturity. since you now tacitly agree with me on what the law says and the only possible interpretation and outcome if the law is followed to the letter, let's talk about ignorance, when has that ever been an excuse in the eyes of the law? yinusa's ignorance will prove too costly for him and an example to others, so you want him to be forgiven for being ignorant about our Nigerian laws while being conscious and knowledgeable of the parallel Islamic laws that permit the crime up north, Islamic laws whose protection he sought and fled to and had esse converted to to make it legal under that same Islamic law? right! not gonna happen! why didn't he run away with esse to just his own residence within that locality since it was all about childish love? why all the way to kano? do you know what it feels like as a parent for your teenage daughter to disappear suddenly without trace or warning message? I pray you never find out. whether esse was hypnotized, placed under a spell or not is irrelevant here since she can not be held accountable for running away with her childhood crush under the law but yinusa being 21 is an adult and is culpable under the law period!

Mike008:


"Muslim Fundamentalist".
You are funny. Which Muslim bears Mike?
That only proves your opinion smacks of sentiments and any dissenting opinion no matter how objective pitches me in the other tent.
I don't argue with people like you whose mentality has been impoverished by tribal or religious sentiments. You can be unteachable.

What I said was a matter of law, and wasn't borne out of any affiliation with group, tribe or body, unlike you.

ziccoit:




Guys, the girl in question illegally eloped with a stup1d adult who should have known better.

Dasuki, Methu, Dokpesi etc involved in embezzlement of money meant for security as a result of which thousands have died. With this fact, the court in the name of rule of law still found them worthy of being granted bail. How much more Yinusa whose crime hasn't led to the death of anyone.Remember the girl here is still alive and kicking!

ziccoit:

Let me add this, since some guys seem not to understand my line of reasoning:

amtaken:
Truly the crime in the instant case is a bailable offence, however, the circumstances of the case warrants that the accused be remanded in custody while the trial lasts. The case is very sensitive in nature and many Muslim big wigs eg the Emir of Kano are indirectly involved. They may attempt to shield the accused from attending the court for his trial. The accused can even travel out of the country with a new passport and new identity. He can even choose to trek through the border and Sahara Desert as most of them do.

The judge acted as if he's been compromised.

We are watching....

Otapipia:

I quite disagree with you. The first question which is wether the offence is bailable is no doubt a very emphatic yes. To say the judge was compromised is not fair. You are not privy to the contents of the affidavits accompanying both the bail application and the response file by the prosecution.

The court will only act on facts and material presented by parties. If you're a lawyer, you should know that an accused remains innocent until proven guilty. Denying an accused bail while standing trial for a bailable offence is not justice, it's punitive.
