Buhari has taken d wrong path with d way he is witch-hunting his percieved political opponents in d name of fighting graft.He shouldn't 4get dat power is transient.If by chance PDP takes over come 2019,they will roast Buhari brocos n serve him 2 eat.

"He argued that under the Administration of Crimi­nal Justice Act (ACJA), bail is more relaxed as all offences are bailable “and in the class of offences charged, it is the prosecu­tion that has a burden to show why bail should be refused. More so, under the Act, all offences can be compounded by plea bargain. So, it is not about imprisonment any longer.”

At times I wonder if the Lawyers trained in Nigeria have their head screwed on right or they are just taking their clients for a ride to justify the retainer, fees and billable hours ,otherwise, who in his right mind thinks he can dictate if he will be afforded a plea bargain or not? The prerogative of a plea agreement lies solely in the hands of a Prosecutor; it is a luxury, not a right. It is at the Government's discretion whether to offer him one or not.

Besides, who told this clown that a plea bargain precludes him from being sentenced to prison? On numerous occasions, I offered people plea bargains of mandatory LIFE IN PRISON without the possibility of parole; either take that or we go to trial and I assure you I will seek the death penalty when you lose. If I was the prosecutor in this case, I'd offer a plea bargain under the following terms: a FULL refund of the funds in question and a 10-15yr prison term. Either that or we go to trial and when he loses I'll implore the court to run his sentences on the convicted counts CONSECUTIVELY. I'm thinking that should come to almost 90yrs or there about. Afterall, we're trying to set a precedent and future deterrent and the world is watching how we handle these cases.

Plea bargain indeed. Someone please explain to this billy goat that he's in deep doo doo and he's not coming home anytime soon.

Is it the same FfK that displays wealth like a fool? The person who gave him money Saif she did not know the money came from government? Really??
Like a thief won't know if he bought guns from a policeman or not, biko sit down. People like you are the reason why naija is the way it is, depending people we should be hanging for stealing public funds.

We shall see how the story pans out, Dasuki shout pass this one. Make e Sha return money wey e collect

I see your anger is because he flaunted money and not because he stole the money. If he is a thief I will support his incarceration but do it legally for posterity. This government will end one day but the steps it has taken if wrong will jeopardize the future of many.

If my friend bring money to me and say he doesn't know where its from while should I have something to do with it.

The money in question was paid to him to execute a job. How many jobs have you done that you ask where the money came from?

No money is too small or too big for jobs. The job determine the value of the money.

Ogah, FYI I am a contractor and this amount is not new to me. Infact the more the more the money the more you question where it's from (everyone knows this). More money is more risk.

That aside, if he was contracted for a legitimate job, he should not have any issues with his defense. There will always be a money trail to back him up. By the way I did not see any mention of him doing any job for anyone yet.

Let's chill and enjoy the show, don't you think?

Fani kayode is a big theif. Someone is giving u 840millon and u never bothered to ask were such a huge fund is coming from? Is 840million same as 840naira? I am not interested in his trial let him just give us our money since he doesnot know the source

Davido does same, does that mean I have to hate him? You can't collect 840m naira and say u don't know where it came from, does that even make sense to you?
If you find 10m in your 18 year old sons account, won't you ask him where he got it?

Oga FFK, you better return our money and stop the grandstanding. Metuh said more than this and today, members of his family are begging to return the money he collected just to stop his trial. Be wise now, do the needful before it is too late. Buhari got no chill, he will ensure you are jailed for the money you looted if you don't return it in time.

Buhari certificate forgery case may remove him before the FFK trial may start. How about that?

soulpeppersoup:


Are you working? If yes, do you ask your boss where the salary he is paying you coming from?

If your a businessman, hope you do ask customers where the money they are using to buy goods from you came from.

You possibly can't be a contractor with your mindset.

Stop being obsessed with amount of money you hear people quote, look at the job it is intended to execute.

listen to you....

To all of you talking about rule of law and subversion of justice, hear this;
It is much cheaper and stress free if it does not get to litigation in court. The UK prosecutors had to ask Ibori for a bargain to cut cost of prosecution and time wasting. Even if the cash ddnt belong to the govt in the first place, what work did he do for the giver of the cash to warrant that kind of reward. FFK is asking for a trial because he knows our justice system is crap. Our leaders are lucky that alot of Nigerians are just plain gullible.

I think you and your 11 up votes actually misunderstand what's going on. The U.K did not, and cannot beg Ibori to Plea to "cut cost of prosecution and time wasting"; it's a war you can't win. You are battling the central govt in court when you're obviously guilty, how much resources do you think you have? Even his lawyers ended up in prison, disgraced and disbarred. You beg for a plea bargain, you don't offer the Government one. It is at the sole discretion of the Prosecution to cut you a break and offer you a plea deal, instead of forcing you to trial and hitting you with the maximum sentence when you lose.

If Davido is arrested today for drug trafficking you will forget his a musician and tell us how you have been suspecting him of drug dealing.

If my 18 year old son is a businessman I will not have problem with 10 million in his account if I know his business capacity is up to 20 million.

We are not talking about a kid here. We are talking about one time minister not a new entrance in to government.

It seems your used to free money. Money is a means of exchange. If no exchange of goods and services is involved that is when its call fraud.

If the guy received the money with delivering service it is fraud he should bring it but in the case he executed the job his principal should be held accountable for stealing our money not him.

most ppl that comment here on politics are always quick to jump into conclusions especially when they dont like the person. imagine some bunch of zombies saying he will rot in jail if he doesn't return their money.....is it your father's money

if I may ask, what was the money he received, what was it for, what service was he paid for? Was he the campaign DG Cux I don't still get what manner of service he rendered that make him receive such a huge amount if money.

Now you know you can't go and receive any gift from anyone just because you don't know the source of the gift or careless.
It is called accessory after a crime and it matters not if you're ignorant of the source.

What service did FFK render to Usman for the huge payment? What did he sell and what did she buy?

The basic thing here is Femi collected money whether he knows the money is government's or not.

And I think by now he should warn himself and return the money. I wonder why thieves are always finding it difficult to own up but wait to be quizzed.

Have u not heard that Modu sheriff has vowed to return his own without much noise.

Femi return our money. Period!

I don't think you understand the issue. He did not take the money but was contacted to do a job with the said money.

Now if you steal money from your friend and gave it to your brother to give to me to do a job for you and I did the job. While should your father ask me to refund the money? Is that not fraud?

Good, thank God u understand it is stealing. Thieves are labeled thieves ntin else. A banker helped in an operation, the robbers came for the money nd den left, droped the moni with a supposed person to be dia god fada which he den sent to anoda banker to share d moni to oda litu thieves also.... If d police succesfuli folo thz chain to d last person, the judge doesnt care wu they are, they are all labeld thieves nd would be sentenced nd asked to return portion of d moni with assets or cash.
So acordin to u up dia, a good father is more or less like a gud judge otherwise the father knows sumtin also which makes him a thief also

[quote author=slimghost post=466166
So @soulpeppersoup. Are u saying there is high probability that Fani is not guiltyy. Even from his statement he is not denying not collecting the money, he just want a trial( delay tactic cos our judicial system is the worst in the world) and mind u, if the money was not from governmnet? What or whoelse can give him dat huge ammount. U know that I know dat boy na theif. I see why he was doing everytin for GEJ to enta again.

To paraphrase your words, Nigeria is DOOMED if the majority of our youth think like you and sell their soul for a few thousand Naira.

It never ceases to amaze me when sycophants like you JUMP to the defense of the politicians that stole OUR collective wealth. Aren't you aware that the 1 Billion Naira Fani stole belongs to you and I?

And please stop insulting your intelligence by saying that Fani did not know where the money came from. You are probably intelligent enough to know that no one gives you 1 billion Naira because they like your face. Besides he did not pay tax on the money and in saner climes he would be looking at a 10 year jail sentence for tax evasion alone!(read about what happened to Wesley Snipes)

Fani should be left in prison till his trial and hopefully he would be given a very long jail sentence. Enough is enough!!
