If the likes of Vatsa,Iyorshe,Okar etc were found guilty of treason,then what is IBB guilty of?
IBB,you are also guilty and therefore deserved to die just like those you've put to death. Hopefully,Divine providence shall see to it.
Dear Agidimolaja,
I share your sentiments! My understanding of the act of coup-plotting, which is a treasonable offence, is that you must try to succeed otherwise you pay the ultimate prize which is death. There are no half measures. IBB is too clever. He participated in coups but those coups never failed.
However, in prosecuting coup plotters, the prosecutor has to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. I did not read law, but in most countries, where the death penalities apply, I was made to understand that any element or little shred of doubt in such cases, the death sentence is not to be upheld until that element of doubt is cleared. But in the Nigerian military, because they are always afraid of their shadows, they are always in a hurry to kill people. Just read the above again and see how petty this people are. Human life meant nothing to them.
I remembered quite vividly that the Association of Nigerian Authors {ANA] sent a team headed by Prof. Wole Soyinka, to meet and plead with IBB, to spare the lives of these men but he refused. When Nigerians appealled to him to de-annule the June 12 election, which was another coup by IBB, he still stubbornly refused. The same man was saying Vatsa was stubborn. This earth my brother... this earth.
