From the onset, this judgement /ruling was expected to go in favor of Yar’adua, it had been put on layaway and Yar’adua finished paying for it by elevating Justice Ogebe to the Supreme Court five days before the ruling, he got what he paid for on Tuesday delivered on the platter of gold. But most importantly Nigerians had begged for this judgement to happen, the way our people acquiesced to the monumental fraud perpetrated at the presidential election in April 2007, the judges knew they would rule in favor on status quo ante and they got handsomely rewarded for it. My point is that judges naturally have various options available to them as the situation dictates, on Tuesday there were no circumstances in form mass uprising demanding them to rule in favor of justice. You reported previously in your web site, the saharareporters.com that some of the judges may have been bribed to arrive at the verdict.
How did you come about this allegation?
We provided proof of conclusions in the reports, we investigated and laid out the reports in five different articles and on February 25 2008, we wrote the last report telling Nigerians the outcome of the judgement, nobody cared to do anything about our findings, somehow they were hoping that justice will fall like snow from the skies. The day the judgement was delivered (Tuesday February 26 2008) our site crashed from people trying to read the previous day story. And our phone lines jammed from journalists and citizens trying to get a copy of the report because it was accurate beyond belief. But it won’t be the first time we would write accurate reports that have come to pass, that is what we do at www.saharareporters.com, clinically investigating and reporting stories accurately. If Nigerians took our reports seriously, Maurice Iwu would never have had the chance to rob and rape Nigerians the way he did in April 2007, three months before the elections, we researched and reported that Maurice Iwu was a conman, and we detailed our findings in three reports, first the man could not explain how he came about his first degree in pharmacy, the UK university where he claimed he got it denied it publicly, they said he came to their university in the mid-70s with the equivalent of a 1st degree from a Cameroonian university in Younde-it happened that Iwu was lying, he’d never been to Cameroon in the 70’s. Even his secondary school certificate from Bodo -Ogoni was suspect; he couldn’t have finished from Bodo Ogoni due to the war. People who knew Maurice Iwu said he only went for a drug dispensary course on Ivory Coast after he dropped out secondary school. He was a drug dispenser in before he went to London to study Pharmacy by Research from M.Sc to Phd (he never did real class work). Secondly, we exposed how he scammed the US military of $4 million in the name of developing “herbal vaccines” with a Washington /Maryland based not-for-profit bio-medical outfit. We also revealed in detail how he stole $45,000 of Citibank money accidentally credited to his account. The Nigerian media and citizens ignored these reports, he brushed also brushed it aside with the help of the local media and started writing out interviews on his own and these interviews were plagiarized and replicated by five newspapers, they all published it as if it actually happened and thus swept the issue aside. Three months later, he knocked out the Nigerian nation with the most fraudulent election in its history, by then it was too late. Don’t also forget that we , Saharareporters.com, were the only publication who reported the election results in April 2007 the day before the elections were held, again, our compatriots ignored these reports at their own peril.

What do you think is the role played by the elevation of the chairman of the tribunal to the Supreme Court when a judgement is pending in the verdict?
Justice Ogebe was desperate to become a Supreme Court judge and he gave up his legacy, life, religion and integrity to achieve that sole purpose. He contracted his son, Emmanuel Ogebe to pursue that singular objective and the Yar’adua government was happy to bribe him with it and add a chunk of change to go with it in exchange for a favorable judgement. The sad part is that Ogebe will go down in history as an ignominious and perfidious judge who sold his conscience for a mesh of porridge; on Tuesday February 26 2008 he and four of his colleagues defecated in the temple of justice. The truth is that even if he had given a ruling favorable to Nigerians there was nothing they could have done to stop his elevation. The National Judicial Council (NJC) as far back as October 2007 had already nominated him. Culled from http://www.africanabroad-usa.com/cover.html
