The case between Governor John and the two criminals has been the talk of the country, the news has spread like wife fire, people in the rural areas migrants to the city to join the protest against Governor John, while people who couldn’t afford to migrant are protesting in their respective villages and all forms of rural asylum, the issue has made the vendors business growing faster within that period, the case use to be in every front page of the daily newspapers, the presenters on radios and television base their news on that issue, there is different form of rumors everywhere, the masses are growing fury in anger and choler, the peoples don’t even bothered to find the root of the issue they all believes the news is nothing but true, every forms of organization in the state join the protest, some people in other states travel down to our  state to join the protest.

On the other hand, Senator Jeff and the Commissioner of Police
are rejoicing about their victory, they were very happy that they
are succeeding in ruling affairs of the state in their own benefits;
they have been planning of installing a puppet as the new governor of the state, their joy knew no bound. “The hearing of his case is on Friday, I know that he will be hanged to death.” The Commissioner of Police said as he burst out laughing. “Yes, you know what amazed me are the notable lawyers that are volunteering to took up the case against him, only his friend, one Barrister Ayodele Samson was his counsel, I wonder how long he can defend the case.” Senator Jeff retorted mockingly. .

LOCATION: SUPREME COURT, ABUJA. 

The Chief Justice sat down on his chair, he adjusted his sunglass as he was examining the documents placed on the table facing him, the Commissioner of Police and Senator Jeff were nowhere to be found in the Court, the plaintiff’s lawyers that are in the court are four in number minus the principal counsel, while Barrister Ayodele Samson was the only defendant lawyer, the reporters were outnumbered, the policemen were all well kitted and they were all at alert, the audiences; my mother {Her Excellency Cynthia John} and my siblings (Samuel John and Emmanuel John) and other audiences were all sited in the audiences sits just then the warders brought in My father (Governor John Adewole) and the two criminals, they were all handcuffed, my father look into the eyes of my siblings and that of my mother, tears flow freely from his eyes and my mother couldn’t help his condition as she also broke down in tears. . “Start the inquiring.” Chief Justice Babalola commanded.

“This is the hearing of the case between the Federal Government
and Governor John Adewole in case no 37/OYM/2017, the Chief
Justice of this country; Justice Babalola Olaiya will be the Justice
in-charge of this case, the defendant is accused of smuggling,
corruption, bribery, kidnapping, killing and embezzling.” The
Courtendant addressed. “Governor John Adewole are you guilty or
not?” The courtendant asked. “Am not guilty.” My father replied
as he was trying to stress the words. The courtendant sit down as
the Chief Justice started the inquiry. “The principal counsel of the
plaintiff’s.” Chief Justice Babalola mentioned as the principal
counsel stand up to defend his opinions. 
“My lord, my name is SAN Taiye Ololade am the principal counsel of the plaintiff’s; with me are my colleagues; SAN Sam Micheal (the lawyer stand up for notification), Barrister Sola Omolara (the lawyer stand up for notification), Barrister Kehinde Ololade (the lawyer stand up for notification) and Barrister Toyin Seun. My lord, there is no need to be beating around the bush to search for something that is not missing, we all know that Governor John was guilty of this charges, person who can deny people he was sending dirty errand like kidnapping, killing, stealing and smuggling, what else can’t such person do? My lord, let take a look at this case in this direction, who which to die by hanging or by shooting? None!
These two criminal (he pointed to the two criminals who claimed
to be my father errand boys) knew the punishment of what they had reveal, they knew is either they were killed or they were sentenced to life imprisonment, they can’t claim to know the governor if not that they were into a dirty business, my lord, we asked the governor to provide the allocation his state received last month, he was unable to provide it, I personally asked him series of question but he was unable to answer my questions, this is enough as an  evidence proving Governor John to be guilty. 
My lord, I would like this court to judge this case according to the law and custom of this our dear country” The Principal Counsel of the Plaintiff’s counter-blasted as he sit down to rest his opinions.

“The defendant counsel.” Chief Justice Babalola mentioned as he
readjusted his sunglass “My lord, my name is Barrister Ayodele
Samson, am the counsel of the defendant, my lord, I know there
are rumors everywhere concerning the lies and fake accusation
this criminals bestow on my client, my lord, I know my client very
well, he is honest, diligent, trustworthy and he has a respectable
manner, my lord, my client told me some days after he was arrested, he told me that Senator Jeff Richard {senator
representing the central district of his state} visited him in the
Government House, he asked him to forgo the allocation he
received so that he and his colleagues can embezzle the money,
my client bluntly refused, some days after the war of words from
the Governor and the Senator, Senator Jeff send some armed
robbers to the Government house, they broke into the Government
House, they killed the securities, they were able to make their
way into the Governor’s Bedroom, they narrated how the money
was processed before it bounce into the state account, my client
defense that the money has not been withdrawed, so they kidnap
my client children in substitute for the money, they told my client
that if he really care for his children he should bring the money to
V™ forest, my client later abide by their ransom, he planned to
pay the salaries and wages of his workers with the money he
planned to lend from the world bank with his name, the
kidnappers succeeded in hijacking the money, they also
succeeded in killing the only female daughter of my client and
that caused him a great depression, he thought that if he
announce that his daughter was killed, people will ask him for her
corpse, where will he find the corpse? So he decided to keep the
loss to himself and his family. 

Some days after the loss, the COP of his state called him and informed him about these two hardened criminal, the COP summoned him to his office in which my client went there in a  jiffy, these criminal fake a lies that look alike to my client personality, they succeeded in sending my client to sleep in  prison. 
My lord, with the little narration I had given out
I think you should know that something is fishy somewhere.

My lord, I suggest you should looks into this case very well before
you gave out your judgment. “Now that the two counsels have
defend my opinions, I think there is something fishy somewhere
and as a court of law, it is our duty to gave out a fair and justice
judgment, for this reasons, I hereby adjourn this case to the 19th
of January, 2017 and Governor John can resume back to his work
as the Governor of his state till further notice. “As your lordship
pleases!” The counsels replied in chorus. “I rise.” Chief Justice
Babalola enunciated as he stands up from his sit. “Court.” The
Courtendant yelled in a alarming tone. .

{CONVERSATION ON PHONE}
“Yes the lawyer defended the case excellently, he must be a
professional.” The Principal Counsel of the plaintiff informs
Senator Jeff on phone.

“So what are you trying to tell me?” Senator Jeff retorted loudly.
“I think we must act fast because it seems the Chief Judge is
highly interested in the case, and I knew the defendant lawyer
was able to convince him with his points and I knew the Chief
Judge to be a seasonal judge.” The lawyer retorted.

“Hmmm, the lawyer, he really tried. Bravo! I heard that the judge
asked him to get back to his position as the Governor of this
state?” Senator Jeff asked.
“Yes, that nothing but a damm truth.” The lawyer replied.
“Okay, I will call you later, see you soon, okay, bye.” Senator Jeff
addressed and concluded as he dropped his phone on the table
situated as the center of the vast sitting room.
.
{TWO DAYS LATER}
.
LOCATION: CHIEF JUSTICE OFFICE, ABUJA.
Some luxurious cars drove into the vast monolithic field, the
policemen jumped down from their van, a bouncer open the door
as a man who dressed elegantly came out from the luxurious BMW car, he dressed in Black Suit, a well polished black Italian
shoes fitted his leg firmly. The corrupt politician walked
majestically in the midst of the securities into the Chief Justice
Office.

***********
{Chief Justice main Office}
“August Visitor! August Visitor!!” Chief Judge Babalola welcomed
him laughingly as he handed over a glass of Maukey wine to him.
“My Judge” Senator Jeff replied as he gave the Chief Judge some
kind of manly hugs.

They both sat down on the sofa, they sipped the wine a little and
they both dropped the glasses on the glass-made table sitting in
front of them.

“You are here. Hope no problem.” The Chief Judge asked as he
was trying to adjust the side pillows.
“Let me say no problem and I can equally address the issue as a
minor problem, but the solution is only with you.”Senator Jeff
replied as he looks into the eyes of the Chief Judge.

“Solution? With me? Ah! As long as I am the only one to help
why won’t I do it, I pledge to render any help I can render as long
as the help is in my care.” The Chief Judge boasted.
“hmmmmm, will you do it before I voice out my friend?” Senator
Jeff warned as he was trying to re-adjust his pot-belle to ease
him some comfort.

“Why not, as long I could help.” The Chief Judge replied.
“The case of Governor John of our state versus the Federal
Government, sentence Governor John to death by hanging and
that is all I need from you.” Senator Jeff narrated as he was trying
to stress the words.
“Is that all?

“Yes, no other thing.” Senator Jeff nodded in approval
“So now, how about the payment?” Chief Judge asked.
“Forward your acct details to me, I will firstly settle you with Fifty
Million Naira then after a well done job I will settle my balance.”
Senator Jeff replied as he brought out his mobile phone to make
the transaction.

After gisting, chatting and discussing for like an hour, Senator Jeff
left the Chief Judge office and he was escorted back home by his
securities
.
“Unbelievable, Governor John Adewole has cleared up all the state
and local government salaries they are owned before he emerged
as the governor of this state.” The newscaster broke the latest
news on through the radio.

“Governor John Adewole! You paid up all the workers’ salaries
with your own personal money, you wish to win this case, we let
just wait till the judgment case, be ready to let-go the hot sit as
the Governor of this state on the 19th of January, 2017.” Senator
Jeff stated rhetorically with some kind of husky voice.
