Human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong has called out the handling of the recent airport incident involving KWAM1, suggesting that his friendship with President Bola Tinubu has played a part in the differential treatment he has received so far.
Effiong believes that regardless of KWAM1’s apology, he should be held accountable for his actions and face trial for them. Drawing a parallel with the case of convicted kidnapper Evans, Effiong questions the government’s leniency towards those in power compared to the less privileged.
He warns against a culture of impunity, emphasising the need for equal treatment under the law for all individuals, irrespective of their connections or status. The lawyer’s outspoken criticism sheds light on the complexities of justice in Nigeria and highlights the importance of upholding the rule of law.
As the debate surrounding KWAM1’s case continues, Effiong’s perspective serves as a reminder of the challenges facing the legal system in the country and the need for transparency and accountability in all matters.
