The immediate past governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido who is in Kano Central Prison with his 2 sons has said he’s being witch-hunted for political reasons. Recall Lamido and his 2 sons were arraigned at a Federal High Court sitting in Kano over allegations of money-laundering worth N1.35 billion. They were slammed with a 28-count charge bordering on criminal breach of trust.

Speaking to Sunday Vanguard through his media aide, Umar Kyari said, “Lamido remains nothing but a scion of accountability and integrity who has always fought on the side of the people, particularly the downtrodden and the vulnerable, since he came into the national political scene.

“He remains unshaken over the trumped-up charges slammed on him by the EFCC knowing that he has not committed any offense to warrant being thrown into the prison over a bailable offense. But the refusal by his traducers to grant him and his sons bail when others charged same day and time for even more grievous offences were admitted to bail speaks volume of the intention and mindset of those who are after him.

“Nonetheless, Sule Lamido strongly believes that, after being imprisoned several times all in a bid to pave the way for sustained democracy in Nigeria, the current effort by the EFCC and others to humiliate him and his family over the so-called money laundering charges will not break his resolve to continue to fight on the side of the people. It is Lamido’s strong belief that having not committed any offense against the state to warrant being sent to prison, he and his two sons will be freed and vindicated against the wicked plot of their adversaries”.

In a related development, here are reports that a bail may be considered for the Lamidos on Monday, 13th July 2015 since the trial judge, Justice Evelyn Anyadike, who adjourned the case till September 28 ruled that the case will be handed over to a vacation judge to listen to the accused persons bail application.
