A mild drama occurred on Thursday morning at the Federal High Court in Abuja as armed policemen stormed the courtroom when the trial of a former Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh was about to commence.

DAILY POST gathered that presence of the armed policemen was informed by security threats against the judge.

A source, who spoke to our correspondent on the ground of anonymity, said “The reason for the presence of heavily armed police men is as a result of security threats against the trial judge.”

Justice Okon Abang, while responding to an enquiry by Badeh’s counsel, Akin Olujimi ordered the policemen to stay outside the courtroom saying, “their presence is a court issue.”

Badeh is facing an 11-count charge ‎of criminal breach of trust and corruption to the tune of N3.9bn leveled against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The EFCC had alleged that the former defence chief used funds of the Nigeria Air Force to purchase choice property in Abuja.

According to the anti-graft agency, Badeh illegally used N60m to renovate his son’s house, which he purchased for N260m in Abuja between January and December 2013.

The ex-defence chief is also alleged to have used N878m – being funds of the air force – to build a shopping mall in Abuja.

You dey mind them? They still think that this is under ineffectual buffoon where Judge and Lawyer were beating mercilessly by miscreants in Ekiti without any sanction.

After seen the gravity of offence charged against this man, I thank God that Otueke man was voted out in that this could have been buried under carpet from the glare of publicity.

Sahara reporters at work again. After the Saraki debacle, they have decided to switch gear to Badeh. This government is going downhill faster than air down a windpipe. A nation bedeviled by their media is a nation addicted to Kim Kardashian. A wise quote " Some motherf**kers are always trying to skate uphill, until they end up breaking their legs"

Ephemmm:

Your father is not even an inch up to the "ineffectual buffoon". What has your einstein President done so far, oh he has managed to kill us with indefinite fuel scarcity. Oh, what a genius.

"Looter badeh vandross"!!!

I don't blame you: I only blame the ultra-sound machine which failed to detect your useless foetus before its maturity. My father could have been saved from this mess. . However, who cares if your mother is a LAWMA dustbin where men dump their 'refuse' whenever they like?

The last time I checked, your Otueke dullard has implemented nothing less than six budget while PMB has implemented none: what is the basis of your comparism?

Grow up kid.
