No be small matter o! Federal High Court for Abuja don refuse bail for Bauchi State Commissioner for Finance, Yakubu Adamu and him crew wey dey face serious wahala of $9.7 million terrorism financing charges. Judge Emeka Nwite talk say wetin dem dey charge dem for no be joke at all, e dey pose serious threat to our national security and public safety.

As oga judge talk am, na di kind of charge wey fit scatter our social order and if dem grant bail, e fit be like say dem dey endanger our people. So, noh be today we go hear say dem go dey release dem. Abeg! Oga judge don order say make dem quick quick begin di matter for court, so everybody fit know where dem dey.

Justice Nwite no forget say di constitution dey talk say every person wey dey face criminal charges suppose be innocent until dem gree say guilty. E talk am say this one no go fit apply here because dis charge be like fire wey dey burn.

Oga judge cite one case for 2001 wey involve one Bamaiyi and di State, show say for such matter, wetin matter be, wetin evidence dey and wetin punishment fit carry, all these things dey important. He get sense o! E even talk say di court need sabi if di accused fit show face for trial or if dem go spread leg, waka comot without face dem.

After review di plenty evidence, especially statement from Dan Lawan Abdulmumuni, Justice Nwite conclude say di terrorism matter dey serious, e no fit allow dem go free. E don set date for di trial to start on January 13. Adamu and him plenty comrade go dey inside Kuje Correctional Centre for now.

E no be only Adamu wey dey face wahala. Balarabe Abdullahi Ilelah, Aminu Mohammed Bose, and Kabiru Yahaya Mohammed all be civil servants for Bauchi State. Dem all dey plead not guilty to di charges wey dey ground dem. Di wahala dey plenty o, as dem dey face ten counts of serious charges.

EFCC lawyer, Samuel Chime, na him file di charge wey dey show say di accused don conspire to drop like $2.3 million cash for one Bello Bodejo and him guys, wey dey connected to terrorist group wey don ban. Na wah o!

Di charge dey punishable under Terrorism Act wey don change plenty tins, dey serious matter. Dem also dey accuse di group of money laundering under di Money Laundering Act too. E plenty well well, but e go make sense as di case dey go, e fit show how we go take dey manage money matters better for naija, and keep our people safe.
