FORMER Chairman of the Special Investigation for the Recovery of Public Property under President Muhammadu Buhari’s istration, Chief Okoi Obono-Obla, has said that some people who served under President Olusegun Obasanjo’s istration are supposed to be in jail.

But Obono-Obla said as a lawyer of many years standing, it may be wrong for him to make such a conclusion because mere allegations do not make one guilty until proven by a competent court of jurisdiction.

Reacting to the recent comment by former President Obasanjo that some persons occupying positions in government should be in jail, Obono-Obla said:

“So many people in Obasanjo’s eight-year presidency equally should have been in jail. However, as a lawyer, I can not subscribe to such fallacious arguments no matter how attractive it sound. “

The human rights activist contended that no matter how attractive suspicion is, it does not make someone guilty, “that is a fundamental principle of law.

“Having said that, I think it is in the realm of speculation or rumor-mongering to suggest so, and so a person ought to be in jail.

“Was the allegation against such a person investigated? Was a prima facie case established against the person?

Was he convicted before a court of competent jurisdiction?”, he rhetorically asked.

That means dem go throw buhari/Apc/Tinupoo in abyss??

Buhari was clueless but tinupoo was unbelievably empty

FORMER Chairman of the Special Investigation for the Recovery of Public Property under President Muhammadu Buhari’s istration...

And most people who served under Buhari should rot in hell.

Much expected clap back, which of course is the truth.

Tell us one person Buhari prosecuted for Graft Issues

These people were part of those tried by Obasanjo during his tenure.

Tinubu's EFCC,DSS,Police,Army is yet to catch Yahya Bello, maybe he used disappearing charm ?

Oby Ezekwesilly and Atiku should lead the pack.

If not for sentiments, Atiku suppose be cell captain.

Ehen?
.
Even the OBJ no suppose dey prison wey him com from?

Another one,,na so dem go dey form holy holy as nobody is jailing anyone..Naija na cruise abeg..

Corruption was lesser in obj's tenure...

Than in subsequent ones.

Efcc was even effective in fighting corruption under his watch with Ribadu as the star man.

GEG may not have been so corrupt but his officials were. Diseini madueke( whatever the spelling of that name is) and others had a field day looting.

Buhari took corruption (adding nepotism to it) to another level. He raised the notch higher.

Tinubu... Well, this one is on a class of his own.

He has broken the notch... I don't think he even knows what he is even doing anymore!

Unfortunately Obasanjo government had more of technocrats in his istration unlike his successors.

Obono abi na ogbono and his usual bla bla bla ...elenu ila

Hmmmm

Where you leave Jonathan and pdp?

Haba, Oga what's the position of the law?, Please come out clean with your submission, are they supposed to be in jail or not.

Make us to understand.

True that.

Hmmmmmm, this is deep!!

Tjra:
Oby Ezekwesilly and Atiku should lead the pack.

Gbamsolutely!!!

Very true.
If OBJ is serious about Political elites who should be jailed,why is his Vice President,whom he wrote in his book ' My Watch' is walking freely till today!
I beg,make Una park somewhere else.

And many people in this Tinubu istration should perish in jail

You are destroying your present and future unknowingly if you continue to call President Tinubu Tinupoo. No matter how terrible a leader is, God put him in that position. David even regretted he cut Paul's skirt though the man was after his life. Stop denigrating his name otherwise you will to nobody in life. God is not happy when people disrespect leaders he appoints. Your future is doomed if you continue to denigrate his name.

No be lie..

They all wrecked the economy..

Nah why Eedris told us that year;
Nigeria Jagajaga
Everything scatter scatter..
Poor man dey suffer suffer..

corruption and criminality got triggered by Obasanjo's statement. What would we not give to have Nigeria revert back to what it was when Obasanjo handed over.

Apc is a curse

Werey!

Like him or hate him, OBJ remains the best of all the lots that have governed this country since 1999!

YOU NIGERIAN CITIZENS FAILED TO ACCEPT THAT, YOU'RE BAD CITIZEN,WHO KEEPS CREATING THE BAD LEADERS,OYO IS YOUR NAME FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS OF TINUBU

Shame on this man.

Obasanjo likes posturing as if he is a saint but we all known there was also monumental corruption going on in the system when he was president...

He himself even tried to financially induce some public officers to his failed Third Term agenda!

"B'oju akata ba lewo, s'enu adiye lo wa to si?

Eni ti ko ba le se bii alaaru l'oyingbo, ko le se bii adegboro l'oja oba

Obasanjo doesn't have the right to say anything (whether what he's saying is true or not). Imagine Adolf Hitler give lessons about how murder is a cruel and inhumane behaviour
