COS Prince Eze Madumere Vindicated!! Aquitted of all Charges.

Chief of Staff to the Imo State Government, Prince Eze Madumere and 17 others were on Friday (June 17th, 2011) aquitted of all 5 charges leveled against him by the former State Governor, Chief Ikedi Ohakim.

In the words of Mary Todd Lincoln, although Clouds and darkness may surround us, Heaven is just, and the day of triumph will surely come, when justice and truth will be vindicated.

Indeed, the prophesy came to pass.

While delivering her verdict, the presiding Chief Magistrate Mrs. Victoria Isiguzo stated that there was no “substantial evidence” from the prosecution to prove the case against the accused persons.

Responding to Press men, the amiable Madumere said he had forgiven those who arrested and prosecuted them. He further disclosed that the Imo State Government was working to ensure that both the Police Force and the Ministry of Justice would come to a pact that, anyone arrested would be charged to court within 72 hours or released.

In March 2011, COS Prince Eze Madumere along with 18 others were accused of mobilising and illegally assembling thugs , with the aim of disrupting the final campaign rally of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state causing a breakdown of law and order, thereby committing an offence punishable under Section 249 (d) of the Criminal Code Cap C38 laws of the federation of Nigeria, 2004, as applicable to the state.

They were remanded in Custody for 21 days under the directives of the rejected former Governor Ikedi Ohakim. Shorlty after their release, 43yr old Mr. Friday Uzoma died from poor ill-health as a result of the torture he received while in Custody. He didnt have to die.

I applaud the Chief of Staff, Prince Eze Madumere for the heart of forgiveness he has.After such a humiliating experience for a Crime you never committed, it takes a true Christian with the fear of God to forgive.

From the Prison cell to a Principal Seat in Government, another beautiful story in our History.

It is normal for Ohakim to label an impeccable and ill charges to anybody he thinks that is working against his self interest on re collection, Ohakim has failed on his constitutional obligation which concurring him to the unlikeness of Imo people .

Eze, congrats on your appointment as the new COS Imo govt house. However, i am particularly more interested in the comment you made presumably after you regained your freedom from ikiri’s men, that Imo under Rochas will ensure that all detained persons are charged with an offence or released in 72 hours. Eze, you lived in the US before relocating back home and now that u have secured a place within the political balcony of Imo i would expect that Imo in the next four years will bear some hallmark of the least state in the US. This is a task u must achieve and God willing you will make it.

Ezeowere lives in Dublin Ireland.

It is good for justice to prevail at all times.This is what Owelle’s administration stands for.But please in the name of God who made it possible for owelle, let the 10,000 jobs review report be revisited as some people have been cheated in the exercise. God hates cheating, otherwise how can the name of someone who is qualified in all criteria set out for the committee be missing on the list for a position, why others who scored lower in the test/interview appeared for that position?Gross injustice.This is not what Owelle commisioned them to do. This is really undermining the integrity of owelle’s administration.Something has to be done urgently to reverse this anomaly to restore people’s confident as it was during the elections.
