Nnamdi Dimgba, justice of the federal high court, Abuja, on Wednesday, struck out a charge involving Diezani Alison-Madueke, former minister of petroleum resources, in the trial of her associate – Jide Omokore.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had brought an eight count charge of fraud to the tune of $1.6 billion against Omokore.

Alison-Madueke was named in the eighth count of the fraud charges , but the judge struck out the charge.

This was after he heard an application filed by the former minister that she was named in the case without fair hearing. She claimed that the EFCC did not give her an opportunity to defend herself.

This is why the Buhari led government has been advocating for the creation of special courts for corruption cases, and i'm glad that recently, even the CJN himself agreed it would be the best solution to the fight against corruption.

EFCC need to learn how to get their evidence together quietly and prosecute properly. Look at how the IRS got Capone, back in the 1930s!, without him even knowing he was being investigated. Thats what we need to do here! Not fighting corruption for politics but fighting corruption for the greater good. They will find money, post videos to the whole nation to gain political points meanwhile the perpetrators would have wiped all evidence linking them or disappeared.

Kola Aluko is in his yacht missing somewhere in the Mediterranean, most of our wanted criminals are out of reach not because of an insiders tip off but from the front of our national newspapers. Its embarrassing!

I dont even want to talk about how Evans would have been set free and paid substantially if we were in a country with a decent judiciary. Put your case together before making noise, if not criminals will find a loophole.
