Please for the uninformed, GEJ has no business again in the ongoing prosecution of the oil cabal.
His job stopped when these men were arrested and charged to court.
His anti graft role stopped when the accused persons had their charges read to them in court. That is the position of the law. That is the reality.
Henceforth, all enquiries, accusations and blames should be re directed to the judiciary.
The ball is now in the court of these judges in whose courts, these cases were instituted. They hold the yam and the knife. They decide where the pendulum of justice will swing.
Jonathan cannot grant bail to any of the accused persons, it's solely at the discretion of the presiding judge.
Jonathan cannot also write their verdicts, the judges do.
So if you want anything good to come out from this case, just beam your searchlight on the judiciary and leave Jonathan alone.

See money ! My head dey turn because of all this plenty money wey dem just dey talk.

miteolu: Bail option is allowed in law. Is only ignorant that will not apply for bail option during prosecution.

Are you tired of French?

D judiciary system is vry corrupt, they stole billions of money n d court ask 4 a bail in millions which they can afford n sureties which they can get wit their father's influnce. So 9ja prison is meant only 4 d poor. God bless naija o.

nothing wrong here, except you dont know the law and your ranting is only Emotional!! even in a more civilized country like the Usa.. George Zimmerman was given bail of a million dollars even though he shot and killed a young black boy.. that said i expect all parties to be found guilty on some charges!!

Delafruita: the case will gradually die like the others

And a lot of detectives, lawyers and civil servants would av made serious money in the process.

Ds is wat am xpecting as a personnit is a tradition, aftall justice don collect her own share b4 granting bail.eyes opeen pls don't b surprise.nja my country.lol

ten dorra suckee suckee, twenny dorra f.uckee f-uckee

This is monumental fraud.

I am not surprise to see one Arisekola Alao among them. Hiss.

it is normal. all of them will go home and sleep.

It will be a very unfortunatd that those thieve who drag the citizen of a great country Nigeria into penury and liquidate our common wealth will go unpurnished. God fight the war. Many in this great nation die because they cant afford #2000 medicare. Workers smile home with less than $112 every month. Its unfare if these greedy marketers go unpurnished

A double standard country, what do u expect? poor man will b remanded for next six months before next court appearance.

Billyonaire: Wozzai.....When the fathers loot tire, they introduce their children to join the loot. Can GEJ be able to salvage the system ? This is monumental fraud using family lineage. GEJ help us oh. I know Nairalanders are blind to see the challenges you are going through instead of joining the loot machine. Help us C-in-C. Please remove this subsidy 100%

Why ask GEJ to help, isn't he the one who approvede the removal of the fuel subsidy? Had he not signed, would there have been fraud?

The theft happened during OBJ's tenure and no one knew about it. Now GEJ has opened everything thing for all nigerians to see, and ''very-slowpokes'' are here critisizing the humble man. All I can say is may God give him the strength to guide this nation to our promised land. By 2019 when GEJ will leave office NL's will know his value..

Gudos to GEJ on this so far. He atleast have tried,it is now left for the judiciary to ensure justice

Please people, trials are not conducted on the pages of the newspaper or on internet fora. It is done in the law courts. i quarrel with the caption of this threat. It should real- Alleged Fuel Subsidy Fraudsters Granted Bail. That is the price we have to pay for accepting democracy, jettisoning all traces of jungle justice as is being practiced in this thread.

I wonder what we expect when we have a 'Gbanjo' as judge in billion naira cases. Buying off the judge 'cheaply' is not beyond the reach of these stup1dly rich oil susbidy thieves.

That said, if corruption (and terrorism) must be tackled, it must be confronted from all angles - all arms of the goverment! Granting frivolous bails to economic saboteurs (and terrors suspects) as frequently done by the judiciary is very bad, discouraging, and outrightly dangerous. It must cease!

Imagine the political capital expended by the presidency to send his alleged campaign sponsors and partymen men to the dryer, only for the judiciary to allow these guys rooms to roam about and influence things with their loots. How can we corruption be tackled with these sort of behaviour?

Anyway, I have advocated it, and will continue to propose it - the honey pot has to be removed c0ompletely! Fuel subsisdy and other unnecessary subsidies including pilgrimage must go! Those are breeding for corruption and ineptitude in the system. Until we remove the cause, the symptoms will persist.

Well, GEJ (and those advising him) should not relent. The cat is out of the bag, relenting will be a serious political miscalculation on his part. If you think the recent impeachment threat against the president is not connected to his attempt to move against oil thieves, think again!

Ndi Oshi... Thieves...

touch_me_hard: None of the above
Akon says blame it on him

Laughing!!! Hahahahahahahaha guy u no well well-well

No matter what we have to say here it just noise to pollute the air cos it we go no where. Nigeria politics issue is like when u send two thifes that are working hand in hand to judge and find out who is guilty so that the one guilty will be punish. And they know that two of them are guilty so is for them to settle with themselfs and tell u rubbish. NA ONLY POOR MAN NO GET MOUTH TO TALK FOR THIS COUNTRY OH.

[size=14pt]The president gets to appoint Federal Court judge as the positions become available. The Federal Court rules on the Constitutionality of state and federal laws. It validates and invalidates rules, laws, procedures and policies. However, it has no enforcement powers. The Executive Branch is the enforcer, and can choose whether or not to use its power in accordance with the Court's rulings. [/size]

I laughed in faranse. I bet it, nothing will happen from this case as it involved the sons and daughters of big men. I weep for my country. This one is obviously above GEJ. He can only prosecuted and jailed those rogues if he comes back in another life!
