[Details] How Akintoye Joseph ‘Nigerian’ sentenced to 20 years prison time in U.S battled unfair justice by Georgia State Court for 9 years

+Got paroled after 9 years

+ May face troves of trouble in Nigeria if he returns

After 9 years, 3 months and 3days pursuit of justice unfairly decided by a Cobb county court in Marietta Georgia, southern part in the United States of America with sketchy history of steep criminal justice.

In the event that Joseph returned to Nigeria he is more than likely to face troves of trouble with these group militating for vengeance prone more by the country’s present political and economic hardship could provoke slight issue into blood bath[b][/b]

Akintoye Joseph referred as the “Nigerian” was convicted in 2015 by a jury of JO whites and 2 blacks eventually got a break after a surmountable battle for freedom.

Akintoye was sentenced to a 20 years prison term at the age of 34 in 2015 now 43. He is said to have been charged and convicted for racketeering known as RJCO. A highly dreaded criminal charge known to be brought on Mob boss with gang ties and circle of criminal enterprise, oddly, Joseph was the only one charged and convicted for the crime said to be conspiratory in nature.

Joseph lived in Jacksonville, Florida. But the prosecution was in Cobb County in State of Georgia.

The Cobb County prosecutor, Jason Marbutt, could not hide his contempt for Joseph and his National origin, visible on the discretionary flaws at full display. He was said to have played the role of the detective, the lead investigator while functioning as the prosecuting Attorney at same time. He made a defamatory statement through press in metaphoric terms depicting Joseph in predatory form as the tip of the ice berg whose crime is greater than murder.

Joseph’s Charges and sentence ordinarily would draw curiosity to the rationale and a conscious mind. In close view of the allegation he was charged with. The dissonance of the charges in contrast to the crime incidents reports were totally at odds in all fairness, Court records from judge’s ruling has it that his none compliance with a plea offer which would have further incriminated him and subjected him to gave up the available constitutional right to challenges the charges said to be inconsistent with the said crime reports did earn him backlash with the court.

Joseph’s supposed ex-girl friend, a white American lady at the time known as Elizabeth Crawford whom is said to have been the principal actress caught but pointed to be under Joseph’s directive. Strangely, her name was redacted off records for unknown reasons, a reasons that remains in part the bane of suspicion for double standard. Americans criminal justice system is inherently decried to need reformed on, which continue to take tolls mostly on people of colors, the blacks and brown communities.

The said Ex is said to have also been caught and investigated to be involved in a larger conspiracy of crimes spree other than what she was said to have done with Joseph, with unspecified groups said to be at large but was never charged with the crime, this further echo our suspicion of protectionist stance emblematic on privilege over race.


On the other hand the prosecuting Attorneys maneuver was manifest at scheme of lumping Joseph along the said group at large, just on grounds of their ethnic similarity, despite available testimonies from the prosecutor’s own witness that there are no connection with the group at large with Joseph as further recounted by Elizabeth herself. Yet, the prosecutor would not stop at re-creating a connection which is by design in order to craft charges.

When holes became visible on the prosecutors case of over reach, he delved furthermore by shifting the post. He packaged Elizabeth as the unwilling novice at the beck and call of Joseph’s directive same notion was also cited by the judges to the press.

The picture painted by the prosecutor who made the case all about Joseph and his Nationality wielded his discretionary authorities to shifted accusation of these unidentified groups to Joseph’s bidding, this outcome is reported to have degenerated into further rancor beyond the prosecution which is said to have mingled Joseph to these unspecified groups part a case which escalated and lead to the death of his uncle in 2017 with impending threats to other member of his families as a direct result of the discretionary flaws and ambitious motive by a prosecuting attorney.

So much for a prosecutor who decidedly strung together series of criminal reports from various agencies committed by different people at different time at different places with no ties and links for sake of constructing and aggravating Charges, curiously, it said that the Georgia criminal system allows for prosecuting Attorney the discretion and unchecked liberty of exacerbating; reports to craft charges which obviously interprets the RICO charge

The original incident police reports, Joseph was said to have been a party to with the white American ex is said to be totally different from what was charged and declared on the indictment. The inconsistency between the charges and allegation cast doubt on the entire proceeding which begs a question on the RICO charge. Can one conspire by himself? According to a credible source closed to the Cobb County judicial circuit and another source presence at the court had it that Joseph’s role was fabricated on a completely lumped-up pretext and involvement were practically profiled with allegation prevalent of his Nigerian origin largely bordered on ethnic prejudice and judged on assumptions of criminal tendencies his country Nigerians are decried for, namely; money laundry and internet scams which was contrary to the police report submitted.

Furthermore, the precipitous prison sentence is said to be a vindictive measure for his unwilling to concede to a plea bargain common in the U.S criminal justice system which accounts for the larger conviction rate scored by prosecutors with threat of trial penalty which in turns result to the accused taking plea regardless of your Innocent. Joseph’s Prosecution and the court controlled ruling was reported of heavy handed, the jury instruction according to trial transcript and source present in the court was more like urging conviction to the juror by every means, a visible malicious approached. This perfunctory lawyer whose presence made no difference was concerned with a plea in-spite of obvious railroading, out of incompetency, bad to sublet a help of another Attorney for trial, The damaging effect from his ineffective outcome reflected through the entire proceeding and sentence.

The said deal itself apparently manifests the disproportional treatment evident all along. The Court document revealed the “prosecuted immune” white Ex was offered a 5years probation and a first time offender bonus. Nothing close to such plea was available or befit-able to the “NIGERIAN” as Joseph was, fondly referred.

However, according to the Trial transcript and witness revealed 7 and 5 years prison term was tendered as a plea to Joseph which entails him waiving his alleged right they said their constitution afforded him.

There are indeed many reasons why imperial studies and research would claims that legislative history reveal that racial and ethnic stereotype was a factor in enactment of the RJCO statue. (Cited by the Michigan law school journal Race & Law) The empirical studies shows that illegitimate use of race and ethnicity as proxy to construct charges and prosecute minority related crimes and labeling Innocent racial minorities without gang-ties – Given the hash consequence of RICO conviction.

A press released by a Cobb County media house known as Marietta journal about 9 years ago after conviction, characterized Joseph according to the prosecutors and Court narrative as a villainous king pin of a criminal enterprise. All narratives appeared one sided, none contained in the press released were of his defense, or any source relating to Josephs side. This is the same source available on mainstream media and major search engine of Joseph’s trial and characterization.

Joseph’s present situation can be said to be precarious, last known source have it that he had been transferred to the U.S immigration detention facility ,his fate remains embedded with tension of what the future may hold, source close to the family back in Nigeria and in the U.S has it Josephs life would be at great peril and thus another collateral sentence on its own rife among forced overseas returnee, aside the labeling as criminal deportee and life stigma that becomes a life time burden and scare of the ones with no societal influence .

Joseph’s families back in Nigeria could not be reach for details, but source has it that they have been experiencing constant attacks from several groups and factions. Among those factions are former business allies he help mobilized shipment of used automobile vehicles and parts importation business which went belly up as a result of his confinement in the United States.

This unfortunate realities opened up another can of worms that has ensued his families in battle of all sorts with these different factions with claims of loses to Joe’s sudden disappearance from the public as a result of his confinement. There have been reports of constant harassment, unrecorded rurest and demands for bribes and every form of extortion by men alleging to working on directives of different figures, but source has it that the families are sometimes moved from one state to another with warrants for detaining and questioning which seems at odds and have a back handed scheme of oppression involved. Source also have it that the groups are seeking any known assets of Joseph’s for confiscation in replacement for their lost investment .

Some of these said group comprises of highly influential people among is active service men with the Nigerian customs exercise, the police and a son of a well known politician, who alleged to have engaged the services of local vigilante groups on number of occasion to terrorize Joseph’s family on the quest in recovering what they claimed to have invested in the vehicle shipment said to have been lost on transit.

Mr. Akintoye who lost his father of 74 years old in December 2022, while incarcerated but to unrelated cause of death is said to also have received some of those threat at his retirement home before his demise. Hospital records have it that cause of death was cancer of the throat.

Similar incident was also recalled in the early days of Josephs confinement, His uncle of 67 years old was abducted and lost his life from sustained injuries from another group said to have unspecified dealings with Joseph’s case in the United States. Local police report was contrary to the families testimonies; incident was reported as isolated kidnapping case that took the life of the victim for inability to come up with the ransom. But genuine source close to the families in Nigeria and the U.S has it that it was a case of vengeance targeted at Josephs from the syndicates that was identified in his indictment which were said to have an ongoing dealings with the white American lady who volunteered the information and had put those group on government and Interpol wanted list as a government witness

In the event that Joseph returned to Nigeria he is more than likely to face troves of trouble with these group militating for vengeance prone more by the country’s present political and economic hardship could provoke slight issue into blood bath, absent miracle with the aid and protection of a redemptive force or government interest could be tale of another collateral damage.[color=#990000][/color]

The campaign organisation of the Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Mr Jimi Agbaje has stated that there is no truth in the alleged endorsement of Babatunde Gbadamosi of the ADP by the CUPP for the Governorship Election of Lagos State.

The organisation revealed that the ADP Candidate had made several overtures to the PDP and Mr Agbaje seeking to be adopted as consensus candidate instead of Jimi Agbaje.

In a statement signed by Mr. Benson Babajide for Jimi Agbaje Support Group, the organisation said that “having failed in his desperate bid, he began to spew falsehood on different platforms.

“The voting public is hereby notified that the purported news is false, untrue, misleading, mischievous and a figment of the imagination of those sponsoring it.”

Babajide added in the statement, which was made available to journalists on Wednesday, that whilst Gbadamosi and his team were seeking partnerships in a bid to take advantage of the presence of the PDP network in Lagos and make use of our party agents, the PDP candidate forged ahead with his campaign across the length and breadth of the state selling his vision of FREEDOM.

Noimot Salako-Oyedele, the deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun state has said provision of adequate maternal health care and key empowerment programs for the women in the state remain significant in the plans of the party’s governorship candidate, Dapo Abiodun.

Salako-Oyedele revealed this on Sunday at a town hall meeting held at Otta, the state’s commercial nerve.
Large numbers of the state’s APC chiefs including the governorship candidate, Dapo Abiodun, re-elected Federal House of Representatives member, hon. Jimoh Ojugbele, serving state house of assembly member, Hon. Nurudeen Aina Akinpelu, Senator Akin Odunsi, Hon Tunji Akinosi among others graced the event put in place for APC candidates to interact with the electorate.

The over 1500 seating capacity Otta, Ijamido Town Hall was filled to the brim as party loyalists and supporters impressively acknowledged the deputy governorship candidate’s speech.

Salaoko-Oyedele in her speech described women as vital agents for development adding that they “play catalytic role towards achievement of transformational economic, environmental and social changes required for development.”

She said, for women’s immeasurable contributions to livelihoods and overall well-being, the Dapo Abiodun’s administration, if voted in, will ‘initiate women empowerment programs according to the identified needs of different groups.’

Following what was widely termed as below average on the performance of the Lagos state All Progressives Congress (APC) in the presidential and national assembly election, the party has taken a rare direction as the campaign team for the party’s governorship candidate in the state, Babajide Olushola Sanwo-Olu Campaign Organization (BOSCO) adopted the image of former Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola to boost its campaigns.

newsheadline247 understands the Sanwoolu campaign team may have lost its confidence following the performance of the party in the presidential and national assembly elections held last Saturday where opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) coasted to victory in APC strongholds.
Anxiety mounts in the party after Sanwoolu who defeated Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in the gubernatorial primary of the party by over 920,000 against all odds lost his polling unit to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the presidential election.

Also, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Fashola lost their respective strongholds to the opposition in the election.

The poetic justice was that APC managed to poll 580,000 which is just 9 percent of the 6,500,000 registered voters in Lagos: many political analysts have been asking where are the 3,000,000 touted party members in Lagos State? Where are the 920,000 party members who voted Sanwoolu in the party’s primary?

Mrs Noimot Salako-Oyedele, running mate to the Ogun State All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate, Prince Dapo Abiodun has assured their government would bring hope to the hopeless situation across the state.

She said the ordinary people of Ogun State in the rural areas need to be shown there are some people at the helms of the affairs of government adding that it is their basic rights to feel more impact of the governments.
Salako-Oyedele, in an interview with The Nation newspaper, expressed concerns on the state of infrastructure and basic amenities in the state.

“Infrastructure is in dire state and the people lack basic amenities in most parts of the state. Health, education, roads, name it, are all in need of attention. Campaigning round the state was an eye opener and one is able to understand why our people are eager for a better government. I am saddened by what I have seen and challenged by the tasks ahead. We have a lot to do,” she said.

Salako-Oyedele, an engineer with about thirty years foreign and local experiences in the private sector, however, told the newspaper they are prepared for the task ahead.
She said, “We have a task of bringing hope to these seemingly hopeless situations across the state. The people received us well. They told us their needs. They pleaded that we must come to their aid. They want a new direction that will give them hope and they are trusting us to bring about this new direction. They are ready and eager to vote for us on March 9th. We also must be prepared to meet their expectations.

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Jimi Agbaje, has challenged the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to be prepared for resistance if the ruling party unleashes violence in the March 9 governorship election.

In a series of videos posted on his verified Twitter account on Friday, Agbaje condemned the violence reported at several polling units across the state during the presidential and National Assembly elections last Saturday.
Agbaje, after he had visited some areas affected by voter suppression and violence, said that it was understandable why some Lagosians were disappointed, angry or afraid.

The PDP candidate, however, stated that when good people did nothing, evil prevailed.

He said, “Undoubtedly, what played out last weekend was a clear violation of the social contract between government and its citizens. Every Nigerian has a fundamental right to life, civil liberties and right to vote among other things.

“So, when you have a situation where thousands of people are put in harm’s way just because they choose to exercise this right while the government turns a blind eye, it has broken that contract.”
