NOW THE NEWS IN FULL.....
Oct 22nd 2015, 04:12
The Federal Government has withdrawn the the alleged forgery of Presidential Bromide case filed against two journalists with LEADERSHIP Newspapers at an Abuja High Court.
The journalists, Mr, Tony Amokeodo (Group News Editor) and Chibuzo Ukaibe (Politcal Correspondent) are standing trial for allegedly forging a presidential bromide published in the newspaper on April 3, 2013.
The government's position is contained in a letter signed by the Director of Public Prosecution, Mr. Muhammad Diri, addressed to its counsel, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN). The letter directed him to discontinue the case.
The letter with reference number FCT/HC/CR/6755/2013 was dated September 23rd, 2015, and obtained by journalists on Wednesday in Abuja.
At the last adjourned date, Awomolo sought to tender a copy of the letterhead paper from the Presidency to prove that the one published by the newspaper was forged.
But lawyer to the journalists, Mr, Femi Falana, raised objection on the ground that the the document sought to be tendered was from the office of the Chief of Staff to the President and not from the Office of the President, arguing that the witness, Ibrahim Bako, had stated under oath that he got it from the office of the President.
Justice Usman Musale agreed wiith Falana and rejected the document.
Earlier, the court had summoned former President Goodluck Jonathan to appear and give evidence at the trial.
Justice Musale issued the summons; (subpoena ad testificandum), dated July 15, 2013 to Jonathan requesting him to come to court with documents to give evidence in the matter.
The former President was to be served with the subpoena through the Federal Ministry of Justice.
The subpoena requested the forner president to appear before the court from day to day until the case is tried, to give evidence on behalf of the accused persons and also to bring with him and produce at the time and aforesaid the purportedly forged document titled 'presidential directive' having on it the seal of the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria published on the front page of LEADERSHIP Newspaper of of April 3, 2013.
The Federal Government, through Awomolo, appealed the ruling of the court which summoned President Jonathan.
The government, had on June 27, 2013 re-arraigned the two LEADERSHIP journalists on an alleged 11-count criminal charge bordering on conspiracy and forgery, but were however, granted bail by the trial judge, having pleaded not guilty.
The court consequently adjourned the case to July 16, 2013 for hearing.
KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......
Revenge is a Poison meant for others, which we end up swallowing ourselves. Vengence is a Dark Light that blinds all who seek it. Don’t argue with Idiots.. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...
A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".
Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"
The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life.
What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.
Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.
Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)
LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.
Have a beautiful Week !
