Oga, I'm not a lawyer and I dont understand legal terms. What I read up there states the case was closed and there were intentions to amend; whatever that means, I have no clue. But anyone who understands how Nigeria works understands that when a case drags like this, it always ends in nothing. So please allow me to lament...

CilicMarin:
A lot Of illiterates now on Nairaland. You read the comments above and can only shake your head about leaders of tomorrow.

They are lazy, unproductive and dumb. Many of them don't read newspapers, listen to radio for informative programmes to equip themselves intellectually.

A case at hand: "FG closes it's case against Orji Kalu" and not a single ipob commentators out 20 above understood the meaning, yet they call Buhari a Dullard...


Tufiakwa for illiterates!

You are still sounding dumb!

Now let me break it for you in a kindergarten way.

When a prosecutor closes its case against an accused, it mean, he/she is done presenting his/her evidence, arguments and cross examination of witnesses, on why the accused should be convicted for the alledged offences.

The Judge then calls on the defendant( accused) to open his case, that is to show the reason why he shouldn't be convicted as argued by the prosecutor.

That was what Justice Ibrahim did, by calling Orji Uzor Kalu to enter his defence on the mentioned dates.

Justice Mohammed Idris adjourned the case until May 30 and May 31 for defence to open their case.

Can you tell me more? I did not know about this?

Lol... This dunce thought you are the only one this is clear to? You know yourself this won't work, he is in your devilish party and become saint since he is singing praise of your Lord. I guess you forgot he was in PDP? 16 years, remember?

Senseless ipob yoots bore me!

SBG04:

What sort of foolishness is this?? But there is Google! What is wrong with these useless youths we have today for christs sake! What kind of crass stupidity is this!

CilicMarin:


You are still digging my brother. Always be open to learning. I have learned a lot from you also on Nairaland, hence was surprised you commented like an average ipob yoot, who doesn't read beyond headlines.

Anyway this is it:


In Criminal cases, When a prosecutor closes its case against an accused, it means, he/she is done presenting his/her evidence, arguments and cross examination of witnesses, on why the accused should be convicted for the alledged offences.

The Judge then calls on the defendant( accused) to open his case, that is to show the reason why he shouldn't be convicted as argued by the prosecutor.

That was what Justice Mohammed did, by calling on Orji Uzor Kalu to enter his defence on the mentioned dates.

GreatEngineer:
Why won't they close it when he is busy campaigning for Buhari up and down.

Then go and get some education. Lamentation is not the solution to your ignorance.
You don't need to be a lawyer to understand some basic legal terms, if you have read novels like John Grisham or even newspaper you would know that all prosecution closes their argument and then the defence opens their own.

These are very basic terms and it's unbelievable that people didn't know this, neither did they read thru the story to gain understanding.

CilicMarin:


Yet you call Buhari a dullard? So you don't even understand what it means for a prosecution to close its case after cross examination of witnesses and presentation of evidence so that the defendant can open his defence?

Preator:
In a criminal case, the prosecution begins its arguments first(opening its case) presents witness then have a closing argument(closing its case) after this, the defense counsel will begin his own defence. Its a legal term that should not be interpreted literally.

Doyin2:


I feel you.

It is very sad.

We have so many misguided,intellectually r3tarded and half baked homo sapiens on NL.

mank1234:


The case is withdrawn for amendment and not closed as you understand. The word might have be chosen to cause confusion.
If represented there are three scenarios:
1) key evidence may by expunged so that it can be thrown out for want of evidence or so that sentence will be minimal.
2) key evidence may be introduced to obtain opposite of 1 above.
3) the case may never be represented.

How can a Judge appoint 30th and 31st May for the defendant(Orji Uzor Kali) to open his case, if the case had been withdrawn?

SalamRushdie:


My friend both you and I know that this is the end of the case as it stand ..close up open ni...Mtcheeeew

tflourish9:
Many respondents don't even know what it means to close a case in court.As usual,many didn't even read beyond beyond the headline

The case was not withdrawn, rather the FG closed its case.

Guyman02:


Sharaap there, are you a lawyer. The prosecutor has closed the current case against him to be amended. Did he give you a timeline when the amendment and new charges will be filed at the court? No!
What's the implication, it means the case may not be revisited until after 2019 elections if Buhari fails to win

Justice Mohammed Idris adjourned the case until May 30 and May 31 for defence to open their case.
