THE CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY & NEEDLESS CRIMINAL INDICTMENT AGAINST FORMER A.G.F ADOKE, SAN HAS FINALLY BEING LAID TO REST BY COURT.
By Hon. Abdulmumuni Danga.
A clear conscience, our people opined, fears no accusation. The criminal allegations levelled against former Attorney General of Federation and Minister for Justice Mohammed Bello ADOKE, SAN was at some point, orchestrated by media imperialism and sentiments.
Adoke was called names and even bullied by his haters, who wanted to bring him down by all means.
The Hon. Minister (as he then was) remained resolute and steadfast knowing fully well that, he didn’t do anything illegal, respecting Malabu Oil Settlement Deal.
His enemies were not even convinced when Adoke approached the Federal High Court of FCT where he was exonerated that, as a Minister, he was merely following the instructions of the President and that, he can not be so prosecuted for carrying out lawful instructions of the president.
When the centre could not hold as the campaign against him was at all time high, Adoke simply took cover and recoiled back into his shell, so as to enable him bounce back with a renewed vigor.
Finally, our amiable and indefatigable Senior Advocate resurfaced to squarely take the bull 🐂 by the horns and appeared before EFCC who were being manipulated by some people, just to settle needless scores with Adoke.
He was arraigned before the court on a Charge, riddled with multiplicity of criminal allegations. The case lingered on, unabated and EFCC became so lame to sustain all the allegations contained in the said Charge, upon which Adoke was arraigned.
Gradually, the course of justice prevailed as at the closure of prosecution’s case, ADOKE offered to make a “No Case Submission Address”.
The address on a said No Case, completely swept off the feet of the EFCC, as they couldn’t offer any positive response to all the issues raised therein. Today, Alhamdulillah Robbil Alameen, the Ruling on the said No Case was delivered and ADOKE was exonerated of all the allegations hitherto labelled against him.
It has been a clear case of “giving a dog a bad name, in order to hang it”. EFCC and all those behind the dramatic vilification against Adoke can now bury their heads in shame.
You can bring down, he who God has elevated. Ibi Jus, Ubi Remedium.
