The trial of the MD/CEO of Lekki Garden, Richard Nyong, by the Lagos State government for the collapse of an uncompleted building at one of the company’s constructions sites some weeks ago took a bizarre turn today when the Magistrate handling the case, Mrs. Folashade Batoku, was transferred under strange and suspicious circumstances. Mrs. Folashade Botoku, the Chief Magistrate in Ebute Metta High Court has been transferred by the prosecutors of Lagos State Government who are apparently not happy because she acted in line with the provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Lagos State 2011 by granting bail to the M.D of Lekki Gardens (Mr. Richard Nyong), the defense has alleged. After the 1st Hearing held on March 11th, 2016, Nyong was remanded in police custody with no charges preferred against him. The 2nd hearing on the case was slated to hold on April 12th, 2016 wherein the Police Prosecutors in line with their investigations were supposed to bring formal charges against Mr. Richard Nyong. Strangely, the court didn’t sit, and everyone was informed by the Registrar that the court won’t be sitting because the Chief Magistrate has just been posted out of that particular court and cannot continue with proceedings. To this day, the Police and the Director of Public Prosecution Lagos State Ministry of Justice are yet to bring any formal charges against Mr. Richard Nyong who according to the bail requirement has been reporting to state CID Panti every day since he was granted bail 3 weeks ago. Richard’s international travel documents were submitted to the court in line with the conditions for bail, so he poses no flight risk and has met all the other bail conditions given to him as a law abiding citizen, the defense counsel has submitted. The case has been adjourned to June 30th, 2016. http://www.ekekeee.com/57153-2/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter

Where then lies the independence of the judiciary? So between the laws and the thoughts of govt, which is Paramount? This dictatorial tendencies must stop. No to 'militocrazy' |
