A former Law School Academic director, simply identified Chinaso, on Monday, inadvertently admitted in court that there is an examination malpractice syndicate at the Nigerian Law School in Abuja. Chinaso made this known during the ongoing trial of journalist and human rights activist, Agba Jalingo. Chinaso was in court as a witness for Elizabeth Ayade, the wife of Frank Ayade, a brother of former Cross River State Governor Ben Ayade in the case of Commissioner of Police vs Agba Jalingo.
A frivolous petition bordering on defamation which was filed by Mrs. Elizabeth Alami Ayade, wife of Dr. Frank Ayade, the younger brother of Cross River State Governor, Senator Ben Ayade led to the arrest of journalist, Agba Jalingo, on Friday in Lagos State. According to Cross River Watch where Jalingo is publisher, Mrs. Alami Ayade, through her lawyers in Abuja – Uyi Frank Obayagbona & Co had written to Jalingo, claiming he wrote a defamatory article about her and wants N500million as compensation.
