“Your Excellency, we have just been reliably informed by DCP Simon Lough (SAN) who is the Lead Prosecuting Counsel in the case that the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF)has decided not to prosecute the matter further (nolle prosequi).

“Hence the witnesses failed to show up when called upon to testify in court.

“While we acknowledge the power of the AGF to give formal notice to discontinue a court case instituted by any authority or person in the country, he can only do that based on “public interest, the interest of justice and the need to prevent abuse of legal process” as enshrined in our extant laws. Your Excellency will agree with us that this particular murder case is of utmost public interest and too grave to be discontinued without getting justice.

“We believe the alleged action of the AGF not only negates the ideals of justice but also the fundamental principles of fairness, impartiality, and adherence to the rule of law in all situations. The purported action if successfully executed will further lead to a betrayal of trust the terrorized but helpless people of Opu-Nembe have in our legal system.”
