Ah, my people! The wahala no dey finish for Nigeria as court don shake tables again. E happen for Federal High Court wey dey Abuja, as dem reject documents from Sowore defense wey dem wan use show say corruption still dey vex for the country. Na the same Sowore wey dey trial for cyberbullying, for him tweet wey he call President Bola Tinubu ‘criminal’ after Tinubu claim say corruption don die like ‘dead rat’ under im watch.
As true Naija gbege go, Sowore lawyer, Marshal Abubakar, bring some hot evidence wey suppose jolt the court. E yarn about how DSS don fire 115 officers for corruption matter and how EFCC don catch 27 staff for fraud. E even talk say dem charge five governors and catch some big men wey dey work for NNPC over N7.2bn fraud. Abubakar dey quick to show say na wahala everywhere, and say corruption no wan gree open door for Nigeria, even anti-graft agencies dey struggle.
But the prosecution lawyer, Akinlolu Kehinde, no gree hear any of that. E waka straight for the documents talk say dem no get any relevance to this cyberstalking case and dem never fit follow Section 84 of Evidence Act. Na so the judge, Justice Mohammed Umar, reject the papers like bad jollof rice. E say no fit admit evidence wey somebody don already talk say e no sabi. E even raise eyebrow when defense bring another evidence wey involve Tinubu and how him don talk plenty things about past presidents.
As dem dey cross-examine the Department of State Services (DSS) man wey come testify, e clear say e no even sabi how Nigeria dey for global corruption ranking. E no know say plenty people for social media dey drag Tinubu up and down, accusing him of big gists like drug trafficking and complicity in murder. E be like say this case go still dey drag us enter March 5, 2026, before dem fit continue this matter proper.
Na wa o! E be like say this our obodo no fit rest. Na so e dey go, my pipo, as we dey watch how things dey unfold. Abeg make we hold our breath, e fit hot pass this one. Stay tuned as the gist dey hot!
