Ace comedian, Ali Baba, has decried the pace of Nigeria’s legal system citing the example of alleged kidnap kingpin, Chukwudi Onuamadike, popularly known as Evans.
Mr Onuamadike was arrested in June 2017 after years of alleged abductions across the country where he was reported to demand huge amounts of money as ransom.
Ali Baba expressed his opinion on the slow nature of justice in Nigeria via an Instagram post on Saturday.
“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,” he wrote in parts.
In series of socials media posts, Ali Baba often gives his opinion on societal issues.
