It is no news Lekki Gardens MD and his contractor
have been remanded in police custody for 30 days, pending investigation in to
the building collapse which killed over 20.Many have slammed the decision,
saying Prophet TB Joshua whose building collapsed, killing over a 100 is yet to
even appear
in court.
Freeze Cool FM has also voiced his opinion on the
issue he calls double standards'. What really is Justice??? I have no qualms
seeing a young man who committed a crime pay for that crime. Life is sad,
before Richard came along, you could not dream of buying a house in LEKKI for
20million naira, his dream was to make choice housing affordable and available.
Somewhere down the line mistakes were made and lives were lost! And yes I
agree...... Someone must pay!
Now my
questions; Why is he in handcuffs and remanded in prison when that 'prophet'
whose building collapsed and killed more people than Ebola, Lassa fever and
this alleged 'LEKKI gardens' put together is walking free???
Why is that prophet
not in handcuffs too??? It was even alleged, that he didn't show up in court
the last time the courts sat. Is this true??? If it is true, then why is
Richard 'remanded' in prison while Mr Prophet 'comes from home'??? Is there a special
court for 'prophets' or do we have special 'laws' for them??? Is our government
afraid of prophets??? Are the people who lost their lives in the Church less valuable
than the people who lost their lives in the LEKKI Gardens saga?
My humble advice: Richard should be released to go home
and attend hearings from home like the 'prophet'. Or the 'prophet' should be
picked up, handcuffed and locked in the same cell with Richard while he attends
trial! Or does the change we voted for include turning Nigeria into the African
version of George Orwell's 'Animal Farm', where "All animals are equal,
but some are more equal than others?"
I might not
know law and justice, but I definitely know injustice! I appeal to everyone to
lend their voice to this and ensure we have 'JUSTICE FOR ALL'
