“It was just the one night and that was it. I do not
have an issue with drugs,” said Crossman after he admitted to
taking the drugs. As far as the Nazi memorabilia, which
included flags, hats and an eagle with a swastika on a plinth,
the priest states, “I’m no Nazi. I collect historical stuff.

There’s stuff there from every country.” In his statement, Bishop of
Dromore John McAreavey said that Fr Crossan had asked for
and been granted leave from his pastoral duties at Seapatrick

Kwara Youths Protest Saraki’s Trial in Ilorin

According to Leadership Newspaper, hundreds of kwara youths and women in Ilorin, took to the streets, protesting the way the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) has been handling the trial of their son and Senate President, Bukola Saraki.

Interestingly, the protesters under the aegis of Concerned Kwara Youths On CCT alleged that the tribunal’s last Thursday ruling was leaked on the social media, about six hours before it was read by Justice Umar Danladi.

The Kwara state chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ishola Balogun-Fulani while addressing the protesters lamented that from what has transpired so far at the tribunal, there was no need guessing that Saraki’s trial is a political set-up.

He told the protesters, most of who carried placards with various inscriptions denouncing the CCT that his party found it difficult to believe that the judgment read by the tribunal’s chairman on Thursday had actually been read by people on the social media as early as 4.00am, while the real judgment was delivered at 10.30am, about six hours later.

Some of the inscriptions on the placards read, “The judgment of CCT on Saraki is already on the social media by 4am on the Day of Judgment by Umaru Danladi”, “Saraki’s case is political”, “CCT has two laws, one for Tinubu and one other Nigerians” and “Sahara Reporters based in United States is an agent of evil.”

Balogun-Fulani, who was flanked by other leaders of the party, said, “I sympathise with you; I sympathise with Kwarans and I sympathise with Senate President Bukola Saraki. It is a known fact that today in Nigeria we have two laws. One for the average, the well-to-do and those in politics and the other for those that have not; a law that has been used by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) to exonerate ten governors and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Today the CCT chairman said he is not going to use that law but another one in the constitution. You now wonder that the travails of Senator Saraki amount to political prosecution.

“The last judgement on the CCT was already on the social media by 4 am and he delivered his own judgment by 10:30am.
