Where are the Human Right lawyers? why cant they fight for the human right of this guy? OR doesnt he deserve to go and see his doctors too? Foolish lawyers always defend people that have stolen our common wealth and will never defend petty thieves! OBJ has once said that Lawyers are one of the problems of this country! I can never agree less. Lets see how may years jail term will be given to Dasuki and his cohorts. CORRUPT JUDICIARY!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYet our politicians walk free after stealing billions and the useless human right lawyers don't represent nor protect the poor. Ebun Adegboruwa will not see this, he would rather rant on channels TV on behalf of Olisa Metuh. The judges are too corrupt. Haba. I hope Dasuki will get 1000 years in jail. Rubbish.
ReplyDeleteFemi Falana and co. Are now cash and carry. Gani Fawehinmi would have defended this man. Why are some fools complaining that Methu was handcuffed?
