ajetunblog: See corruption everywhere,am tired of this country ooo

Where is the corruption you see or are they not entitled to bail anymore

Case dismissed unofficially!!!

I was expecting this new since last monday now it has happened...SMH

Money don change judgment

Anyway *continue with my roasted plantain*

Why now
Executive thieves in action

That's why he was sleeping last week abi?He knows "Notin dey happen"

This is nothing but the tenets of the rule of law at play that is; separation of powers and the independence of each arm of government, I just wish the Judiciary will step up their game, someone like this Facrook, deserves something more punitive!

Surely the bailiffs should be questioning how Farcrook could afford such a high Bail?

What did you expect?

PS: anyway, I still believe this guy's issue is some big scam

Failed nd corrupt judiciary! U arraigned som1 in court 4 d 1st time, nd adjourned d case 2 1week so u can grant dem bail, after d bail u adjourn d case till almost 2 months so u hav enough time 2 entertain bribery proposals from d criminals so as 2 manipulate d case. As far as i'm concerned dis case has been closed.

No wonder he was sleeping

.

the guy should have been stripped of his attire na... theif na thief o

I still don't understand the why Femi Otedola has not been charged to court or is farouk the only one that is guilty of the bribery?

How i whish they could tell me what life in jail looks like

Surest thing.

If na poor man, dem go give am 10yrs imprison, dem wan chop insid the money, dats why dem give am bail of 10million, and i taught bail na free

The most painful thing is upon all this abracadabra he 'll still contest for kano governorship post come 2015 naija what a country.

Its a known tradition in Nigeria,you don't expect someone who received $620,000 to be convicted when a N23b pension fraudster was granted bail with fine.
The head(GEJ) is sick as well as the the tail (the entire judicial system,what a failed organ.
