I met a young man in court last year July when I went for my
firm's matter, out of pity I decided to take up his matter on a
pro bono and I have been following the matter diligently. I
realised his charge was bailable and I applied for same
which was granted by the court. Since then none of his
relatives came up to perfect his bail due to the fear of the
court system. All efforts to enlighten the ignorant relatives
proved abortive and I decided to continue the matter on a
pro bono while my client though granted bail was coming
from custody. I usually feel very unhappy about this anytime
I meet him in court but there is little I could do. Everytime I appear in court I kept assuring him that all will be well and
sooner than expected he would be released. I took my time
to visit him in the prison before the last festive period even
though he is not my relative and I discussed with his relative
to do same but they later showed how useless they are. We
kept on with the matter in court and my belief in his
innocence after listening carefully to him kept me going to
court to see the end of his matter even if I have to go on
appeal but today the court followed my line of reasoning
after serious argument amidst series of almost unending
adjournment. I had been waiting to hear that word since last
year and same was just pronounced today that he is not
guilty, thereby discharged and acquitted. I secured his
acquittal and I dedicate same today to Youth Alliance for
Better Nigeria simply because this man I never knew from
adam is a member of my community where I was recently
appointed coordinator of the association in order to preside
over all activities of the association in the entire local
government.
