Senior Lawyer Asks Tambuwal To Resign Over Watery Charge Of Deborah’s Killer

Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Ebu Olu-Adegboruwa has hit hard on Aminu Tambuwal Governor of Sokoto state over what is described as Watery Charge of the suspected killer of Deborah Samuel who was gruesomely murdered last Thursday.

Adegboruwa alleged in a Facebook post on Monday that “the charge of Criminal Conspiracy and Inciting Public Disturbance as framed by the Sokoto State Government against hardened murderers is an insult to the sensibilities of the parents of the deceased, the people of Nigeria and God who created Deborah.”

Recall that police authorities in the state had said that Yakubu was killed by a mob over alleged blasphemy.

NAN reported on Monday, that the police arraigned two suspects before Sokoto Chief Magistrate Court for their “alleged participation in the crime.”

Adegboruwa said that the political ambition of Governor Aminu Tambuwal should not override the life of a citizen entrusted to his care but who was murdered in cold blood.

His statement on Facebook partly reads

“It is better for His Excellency to resign now, rather than go down in history as the Governor under whose watch a citizen was murdered and the Governor could not enforce the laws of the land but rather aided and abetted its cover up.

“It is most uncharitable of His Excellency to have condoned this baseless charge

” It is better to set the suspects free rather than claim to try them.

“The aftermath of this gruesome murder, the watery charges filed and the consenting attitude of those concerned have depressed me more than the act itself.

“Nigeria cannot work this way at all. I’m truly saddened by this development.
