Until Nigeria transitions to such a culture where our criminal justice system lives up to its promise of punishing the offender and sparing the innocent, our democracy remains at best a counterfeit and the whole essence of our existence bereft of meaning. Life in Nigeria and, I dare say, in most of Africa will continue to default to the base instinct of survival of the fittest.

The Imo State Police Command says it has busted a drug syndicate and arrested a baron who supplied drugs to secessionist and other terror groups in the state.
The command also said it seized drugs worth N150 million .
Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Mike Abattam, said the feat was achieved when a driver, who posed as a commercial vehicle operator, was arrested while searching for passengers at Ware House Bus Stop en route Owerri to Orlu.
He said “Arising from the ceaseless raids on IPOB/ESN camps all over the state and its environs and the successful neutralisation of the terror principals by the Imo State Police Command, the remnants of the drug suppliers/distribution syndicate were on 7/8/2021 at about 11.30am smashed by the ever active tactical teams.”
