RECENTLY two Ijawcitizens have come under the light of the agents charged with corruption – Mrs. Deziani Allison-Madukwe, and Chief D. S. P Alamieyesiegha. One was arrested in London plushest address at 1 Park Lane, another one was being sought out by the British police to answer charges of money laundering.
This piece in no way condones their alleged corrupt practices and no one should read it as such. For the benefit of doubt Mrs. Deziani Allison-Madueke was charged for corruption; the NNPC over which she presided was the Sodom and Gomorrah of corruption and the stories about how allegedly corrupt NNPC was a legion. As for Governor DSP Alamieyesiegha, he ran away from Nigeria to undergo a tummy tuck operation in Germany, when the warrant for his arrest was issued in Dubai, he ran to London where he was thoroughly watched by the Secret Services of Britain. He left London, according to some sources, with the active connivance of the British authorities, for Cote d’Ivoire en route to Nigeria. On arrival to Nigeria he was promptly arrested by EFCC. But he spent several months in the hospital in Lagos and Abuja before he was released. A couple of years later he was pardoned by President Goodluck Jonathan. About a forthnight ago he was said to be wanted by the British authorities for money laundering. He has not been enjoying good health, although the incessant and unrelenting pursuit by the British and other authorities could not have improved his health. He died soon after. Let’s go back to the antecedent of Alamieyesiegha’s impeachment. A good precedent in law is that, although an enthusiastic officer may pursue a case with all due diligence, he may not do so while breaking the law. Alamieyesiegha’s impeachment was a travesty of the Nigeria constitution. He may have been a thief but the law demands proof in a proper court by the prosecution that the culprit is indeed guilty. The impeachment provision in our constitution is antithetical to that very constitution which guarantees to every individual the right of justice. DSP Alamieyesiegha was dragooned into impeachment by over zealous EFCC members, on the order of higher authorities. There are 24 members of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly. The EFCC simply picked up all of them and asked them to account for the one billion Naira constituency project they signed for, they were all locked up at 15 Awolowo Road and asked to sign a declaration condemning the government or explain a one billion naira constituency project each received. This declaration formed the basis of the impeachment, which lasted eight hours from when they returned, to Yenagoa in Bayelsa. The House formed a committee to impeach, asked the Chief Judge to draw up charges and set up an impeachment tribunal which reported to the Chief Judge who rubber stamped this kangaroo court.
