An Ekiti State High Court sitting in Ado Ekiti has discharged and acquitted the state chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Jide Awe, and two others of murder charge.

They had been on trial for the murder of Madam Juliana Adewunmi and Murphy Jeje – a member of the Peoples Democratic Party in 2013.

The late Adewunmi was the mother of Mr. Segun Adewunmi, the current Deputy Speaker of Ekiti State House of Assembly.

The two others discharged by Justice Bamidele Omotosho are Sola Adenijo and Sefiu Owonikoko. Owonikoko died about three weeks ago.

Their discharge and acquittal followed the withdrawal of the charge on Wednesday by the state Attorney Genera and Commissioner for Justice, Kolapo Kolade, on the orders of Governor Ayodele Fayose.

Kolade said the state was withdrawing the case in order to promote peace and brotherliness among the people of Erinjiyan Ekiti, which is the community where both the complainant and the defendants in the matter hailed from.

He also said the governor consented to the withdrawal of the case in spite of political differences because of his belief in posterity, peace and welfare of the people of the community which was said to have been divided over the court case.

Speaking with newsmen on the development, Kolade said: “What happened in court today is far beyond politics, the governor in his usual characteristic manner of promoting peace and brotherliness in all communities in Ekiti and across party lines has intervened.

“In this matter, so many good people across Nigeria, even the defendants in this matter, have appealed to his Excellency to intervene in this matter, particularly in Erijinyan, more so as the defendants and complainant are of same family, the complainants have given the ahead and said the matter should be withdrawn.

“This development equally supports the cause of justice. One of the cardinal principles of justice is promotion of peace.”

No sensible person would take this clown serious.....Comedian of the Federal Republic(CFR).

No politician should be trusted. Its just about them and where their interests lie.

If the defendants are sure of their innocence, I expect them to object to the discontinuation of the matter which is not done in the interest of justice.

Be it as it is ,posterity will be there to remind their offsprings ,including their unborns that their fathers are forgiven murderers

This is one of the reasons not to support any politician in a do or die manner. Awe can now join Fayose in PDP after these people had died for nothing with obvious facts that Awe murdered these people in the name of opposition. Fayose should have ensured justice is done even if the case is delayed beyond his tenure. Shame on you Fayose!

Though this man has is own flaws but we still need more men like him .

Ok

Election time...

Mad man

The best way to promote peace in a society is to ensure that criminals are punished to serve as deterrents to others.

It's either the charges are trumped up ab initio or the man is about to defect to Fayose's camp.
Either ways, Fayose isn't better than those he criticises.

FAYOSE wants to decamp.

Ekiti politics dey get as e dey b
They are all one and yet they struggle to fight each other

Lol

Fayose must be checking the borders now

For the shortest escape route

His fucckk ups are about to be treated

This guy is a confused human being...a slap on the state that has produced highest number of professor in the nation

Na small small butterfly dey enter bush, please APC has no vacancy for vagabonds

Fayose seeking for soft landing.

The charges lacks merit from the onset.

Yes shame on the talkative governor x3, anybody that take this man serious is as useless as him, with all his boasting he later withdraw the damn case,,,

The son of the diseased had been adequately compensated by Fayose because she was more or less a collateral damage, all politicians in Nigeria are murderers.

Looking for softlanding

That one won't help him.
Aisha Buhari is patiently waiting for him.

fayose is a comedian

they don give him money

Spot on.
Permit me to add: If Fayose is not preparing his defection, then he is already warming himself to cut a deal with the ruling party. He is wiser now than his first term at governance in 2003. Apparently, learning fast from his now quiet & humble once-upon-a-time buddies -Obanikoro, Mimiko, and Buruji.

As well, the abuja-protected APC chair that the governor was after couldn't be docked, no law enforcement agent could apprehend him whilst the case lastest (just like Dino now); therefore it was becoming glaringly illogical to go on with the case.

Really courageous man.
