Today
I am absolutely flabbergasted by this situation. Here is the real version...Emeka
Ugwuonye resides in Rockville, MD. USA. On a recent trip to his native homeland
Nigeria he was arrested and held for about nine months by the Nigerian
governmental anti graft agency EFCC. The ironic piece is that Emeka Ugwuonye
was granted bail in court which the EFCC overturned. During the 9 months he was
incarcerated he was denied a simple hearing in front of a judge, and when it
was made possible for Emeka to be in front of a judge, the EFCC tried
everything to sabotage his trial. If it wasn't for a change in administration
in the EFCC management hierarchy Emeka would still be incarcerated.
How
is this justice. The most disturbing piece of this, is that despite Emeka
facing trial, his face is being used to advertise the Nigerian EFCC agency.
Which by the way is funded through Germany, UK, USA, France, Holland, and
Nigeria. A quality use of fiscal resources in times of international financial
distress...would you agree? I am sure if you asked Emeka Ugwuonye he would
state that he feels justice has been served...I know I would in his
situation...I hope you can sense my tone of sarcasm. Talk about innocent until
proven guilty....frightening isn't it?
