Where are the processing plants that will handle the raw cocoa beans?
Have the factories already been set up before this pronouncement, or is this another “subsidy has been removed” kind of announcement - with nothing tangible on the ground to back it up? 😏
On 16 March 2024, the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe (@Brightgoldenboy), responded to a tweet by @MobilePunch on the topic:
"What should you do if your sex partner dies in your home?"
His first response was:
"The hard truth is that it won't be funny. From the moment she dies till when the autopsy result is out, you go feel am well. Better pray against such."
— SP Bright Edafe (7:37 AM, 16 March 2024)
Several X users, including @DaddyWithDSteez and @max_coupet, engaged him further, prompting a second response:
"Interpret am the way you like, sha no let woman die for your house."
— SP Bright Edafe (16 March 2024)
Another user, @Folypop1, then replied:
"Guy, you no bright at all."
To which the Delta State Police spokesperson responded:
"I don know since. No be u first start to talk am. Just pray make your girlfriend die for your house first."
The message being conveyed was clear: if someone dies in your house under suspicious or unexplained circumstances, you should expect to be thoroughly investigated. The police would ordinarily secure the scene, take statements, conduct investigations, and await the outcome of an autopsy before arriving at any conclusion. That is the normal process of the law, and rightly so.
This brings me to the reports currently circulating concerning the Honourable Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi. Various media platforms have reported that a woman reportedly died at a property linked to him. Some of those reports have also made additional claims about the circumstances surrounding her death. At this stage, however, those claims remain allegations, and the true facts can only be established through a proper police investigation and the findings of an autopsy.
My concern is not about pronouncing anyone guilty. Every Nigerian is entitled to the presumption of innocence until proven otherwise.
My concern is about consistency.
If the position of the Nigeria Police is that any ordinary citizen in whose house someone dies must undergo the full weight of investigation pending an autopsy, should that same principle not apply equally to every Nigerian, irrespective of political office, influence, or social status?
The law should never appear selective.
Justice should not have two standards, one for the ordinary citizen and another for the powerful. Equal treatment before the law is one of the pillars of every democratic society. Public confidence in our justice system depends not only on justice being done but also on the perception that it is administered fairly and without fear or favour.
If I, or any average Nigerian, were faced with such circumstances, I have no doubt that we would immediately become subjects of intense police scrutiny until investigations were concluded. It is therefore reasonable for citizens to ask whether the same investigative standards are being applied in every case, regardless of who is involved.
These are legitimate questions that deserve clear and transparent answers not because anyone should be condemned without evidence, but because Nigerians deserve to see that the law is truly blind to status, wealth, and political influence.
At the end of the day, my appeal is simple: let the law take its full course, let investigations be transparent, and let justice be applied equally to all.
Only then can Nigerians truly believe that the law protects everyone and not just a privileged few.
Shalom. 🙏
