In as much as I am not in support of Mrs. Madueke, but I have issues with her case. I want to know why and the rational behind trying her in the UK while the offences were committed in Nigeria and against Nigerian state.
I further have issues why she was singled out for trial in a corrupt government where she was a minister. The offences she was charged should have been levelled against the system or government that appointed her as a minister and she served. In excess the whole exercise should be a collective responsibility of the government at the time.
Why is this case being prosecuted in England? Does it mean that Nigerian judiciary can not handle the case or incapable to trying the case. Or was it an indirect way to castigate Nigeria judicial system and Nigerians.
Who will bear the burden or costs of these trials and the payment of all these King's Counsels involved the hearing?
We Nigerians should not be allowed to fool ourselves by allowing the trial here in the United Kingdom. I see all the trials as a charade.
She will not get a fair hearing where she has been selected to be punished while the rest of the ministers in the same government as her walk home uncorrupted. The president and the vice walk home uncorrupted but only one minister was corrupted and squander government funds. What and what did she bought in Harrods ordinary Nigerians and Nigeria governors, deputy governors and ministers and commissioners before and after her hasn't bought in Harrods and other big stores in the UK, Dubai, New York and Paris.
It is unfortunate that Denzi-ani has been singled out to suffer the collective deed of the government she served.
The whole exercise being that she came from one particular tribe. Those from other tribes who served with her has all gone home saints.
Southwark Crown Court became the centre of a major legal confrontation on Monday, as Nigeria’s long-running corruption saga reached a dramatic stage.
