Ali Baba Laments Delay In Evans’ Trial

Veteran Nigerian comedian and social commentator, Ali Baba has taken to his Instagram page to complain about the delay in Chukwudi Dumeme Onuamadike popularly known as Evans the ‘kidnapper’s trial.

The alleged notorious kidnap kingpin was arrested in June 2017 for years of high-profile abductions across the country, during which he collected millions of dollars in ransoms.

However, since his arrest, he has been on trial and Ali Baba is obviously not pleased with this as he believes that the delay in the process is not good for all involved.

He wrote,

“Evans is still on triallllllllllllll.

See why justice in Nigeria leaves a lot to be desired. The New Zealand shooter… had his day in court, no waste of time. The Boston Marathon bomber too did not even have time to plan an escape. The Nigerian diaper bomber… didn’t have time to take a leak and all of the other cases did not take 1 year. But in Nigeria, a case will go on for 20 years.

The lawyers who are on the case will get frustrated; move to another law firm; retire:; or die; get appointed into government; set up their own chambers; the judge will be transferred or promoted or retired or died… for one reason or the other, shaaaaaa justice will be delayed. That’s how cases have been killed. Young promising lawyers have been frustrated out of the legal world. Beautiful lawyers that would have made SAN in record time. Naaaaaa. We don’t do that.

The SANs will come to court, take a date and in collusion with justices who are their friends continue to take adjournment after adjournment. Oh he is appearing in a higher court. An election tribunal case came up and it’s a time-bound case. He is out for medical checkup. A case is clashing with this one. Me lord give me time to go through the prosecution witnesses statements… 5 years later, the case is still on. Judge will not sit.

People threatening witnesses. Witnesses disappearing without a trace. Court is on strike. Case has not begun, but it will first reach Supreme Court. Just to interpret jurisdiction will take 2 years. Then after that it will come back to the magistrate court. And move up again, thanks to appeals till Supreme Court again.

We have no shame. People who walk free in Nigeria get sentenced in working judicial systems. People were jailed in the Halliburton case. Yet those who the culprits paid here, are saints.
And we have the guts to query Dubai judicial system. You are caught, you go to court and you are cut. No diplomatic courtesy.”

Just recently, the entertainer shared a video of how corrupt politicians should be treated. In the video, a prisoner is seen getting a group beating from other inmates.
