BODE GEORGE CLEARED BY SUPREME COURT OF NIGERIA!

This brings to the fore, Law and Morality! The judgement may be wrong in the court of public opinion but in the court of evidence, the judgement is trite and apposite! BG may be corrupt and the act might have been perpetrated, but the courts are not Oyingbo markets, where judgements are passed on hearsay and sentiments. The courts deal with the statute books and evidence, definitely not the noise from Oshodi market! Contract splitting is alien to our statute books.

According to the judges, led by John Afolabi Fabiyi JSC, the charges of “contract splitting” filed against George was unknown to the law.

The apex court declared the PDP chieftain discharged and acquitted.

George was accused of committing fraud while he was the chairman of the NPA in 2009, after which he was convicted and jailed for 30 months by a Lagos court.
