Prosecution counsel, Gbolahan K. Latona asked the court for a trial date and to remand the suspect in prison custody.

Our judges in Nigeria are all fake and rubbish, a young man who didn’t stole money from government vault is being charged to court, and on what grounds can’t be explained which is shame because all our politicians in government are corrupt from top to bottom and yet our judges will not send their bosses to prison for looting billions of dollars daily since they (judges)are employed by the so call CABALS in power to defend their looting. ROGUES are pardon daily for them to enjoy their stolen wealth, yet a graduate or undergraduate that uses his brain to make a living is being charged to court . SHAME EFCC…SHAME NAIJA Judges for impartial judgement. NAIJA YOUTHS ARE WATCHING
