JUSTICE AND ITS' HAMMER IN FOCUS.
Section 36 (5) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as Amended provides that "Every person who is charged with a criminal offence shall be presumed to be innocent until he is proved guilty".
The word SHALL is used in this provision which means MUST but has been abused by some courts.
The abusers have their own spirit and intent in application of this provision.
Some propounded their own theories, views and became judgmentally bias.
Some presumed the suspect or defendant guilty of the charge and thereby granting condition of bail that is stringent and amounted to no bail.
Some reasoned that if granted simple bail they will easily be lay off the hook and will always relapse back to crime.
Another set of bias judges and magistrates are those that went out to avenge themselves on these suspects or defendants because of the ordeal they pass through under them and each time they are brought before them there is hard condition or denial of bail even when the charge is bailable. The most unfortunate is that before they are released bribe will exchange hand.
It is unfortunate that a magistrate was demoted recently at Igboshere Magistrate Court Lagos for bribery. A reliable source once told me a story that she normally give hard condition of bail to fraud stars because she had a bad experience in their hand as a school young girl. Each time she give hard condition the release will take place in her office.As this event continued the blood stream became contaminated and at the fulness of time the invisible hand of exposure hammered.
My headache and heartache has refussed to heal because this person is very intelligent and a judge material.
Worst of it all is that the family burden is upon her shoulder, but must not be an excuse.
I call on my fellow women to vigorously pray for her because of her seeds. That the Lord should forgive her and erase this from the book of evil one who knows how to plan the down fall of men years ahead before striking his ugly arrow.
This is one of the ways Adam silently push Eve to the serpent now she has eaten the fruit with him hope he will not now lay blame on her because she need encouragement not blame after all he was with her while she pucks the forbidden fruit.
FORGIVE YOUR ENEMIES, DO NOT TAKE REVENGE, OBEY THE CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS, IT IS THE PRINCIPLES OF GOD. THE MEASURE YOU USED IS THE MEASURE GOD WILL USE AGAINST YOU.
