But every discerning mind know that the same court is filled with judicial officers, who are mostly complicit in the ocean of corruption that has bedeviled the country, including those who are dishonoruable enough to collect money for the burial of their mother, from lawyers who appear before them to plead for cases. Or are we saying that the money traced to the accounts of such lawyers and the call logs of telephone conversations between them and the judges are made up? No one wants a return to a gestapo regime of lawlessness-every accused should have his or her day in court, but we must not by any means give the impression that by hiding under one form of poetic license or the other, we are not totally in support of the anti-corruption effort. As Femi Falani would reply to this noise of selectivity, 'did the accused steal or not'?The war against the cancer of corruption must start somewhere. That's the message. Stay well my brother.

Samuel,
You said "people were accused". So they remain innocent till adudged guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction. Meanwhile, the burden of proof lies with the accusers. The so called confessions must be presented and examined in court before they can be accepted as such.
If they are guillty, why are they not sent to prison, why prosecution?
Samuel, is it not surprising that a lowly motor park poet like me is telling an Intellectual like you this thing every tout at Arugo motor park Owerri knows?
Stsy well my brother.
CAO.
