Blord removed the billboard that featured Very Dark Man in Anambra State and substituted it with another.
Many may interpret this as a crafty attempt to erase evidence, but legally it avails him little.
Where an act has already been carried out—particularly one that may constitute an offence—its subsequent removal does not nullify what has already been done.
The wrongdoing is deemed complete at the moment it is committed.
Blord might contend that he was merely battling VDM when the billboard first went up.
Yet once the matter escalated to court, the complainant ceased to be a mere private individual and became the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
At that stage, the controversy is no longer treated as a personal dispute, but as a matter prosecuted in the name of the state.
Some will insist that Blord “won the street war,” but what is the utility of prevailing in a clash of the streets if, in the process, one courts the risk of incarceration at the hands of the law?
In legal terms, the removal of a billboard cannot be invoked as a remedy that undoes responsibility already incurred.
To whom much brain is allotted, discernment should follow.
I remain resolute in my advocacy for comrade Jude.
