South Korea: Ex-President, Park Geun-hye jailed for corruption
By Wale Odunsi on March 31, 2017@dailypostngr

Former South Korean President, Park Geun-hye, was arrested and jailed on Friday morning in connection to the corruption investigation that led to her ouster earlier this month, authorities said.

Park was taken into custody at her home and taken to a detention centre.

The event was covered live on South Korean television.

Officials said the disgraced former leader accepted bribes and abused her power during her administration.

Park’s arrest followed a lengthy court hearing in Seoul on Thursday, after which the judge decided there was enough evidence to warrant the arrest.

“Major allegations were explained and proved and there were concerns over evidence destruction,” Seoul’s Central District Court explained.

Park was impeached and removed from office on March 10.

She will now remain in jail while prosecutors seek a formal indictment, which they said should come within the next three weeks.

“I feel apologetic toward the nation’s citizens,” Park said last week.

“I’ll cooperate in the questioning sincerely.”

South Korea will elect a new president in May, and experts say it’s likely that Park’s conservative ruling party will be defeated in the vote after nearly a decade in power.

I wish Nigeria could emulate this

Instead of us to support this

We would rather be saying its witch hunt.

She was tried in a day marathon, but here we would hav brought all kinds of objections or medical reports as to why she/he would not be in court or jail

Ngilari easily comes to mind

She will now remain in jail while prosecutors seek a formal indictment, which they said should come within the next three weeks.

“I feel apologetic toward the nation’s citizens,” Park said last week.

“I’ll cooperate in the questioning sincerely.”

In nigeria bail would hav been granted and she wouldnt hav spent a single night in detention

the worst part is dat she would not have been apologetic or cooperative and would probably have destroyed evidence

while patron saint of corruption and king of thieves walks freely with no inhibitions.

Now That's a country that works!

In Nigeria, politicians are above the law!

Above the law or disobey the law?

They either refuse to make laws that would punish them or they are silent about such laws

Can this happen in Nigeria?
