The Judiciary’s Betrayal: When Justice Went to the Highest Bidder

The courtroom was silent, save for the rhythmic tapping of the judge’s gavel. The nation held its breath. This was a landmark case—one that could redefine justice or shatter it forever.

Oby Ezekwesili sat in the front row, her eyes burning with the weight of history. She had seen justice served, even under military rule. But today? Today, the scales had been bought, and the verdict had been auctioned to the highest bidder.

“The judiciary of old would never have tolerated this,” she whispered to the journalist beside her.

The judge cleared his throat. “The court finds the defendant…” A long pause. A knowing glance exchanged between the defense and the bench. A briefcase nudged under the table.

The gavel struck down. “Not guilty.”

Gasps erupted in the chamber. Someone stood up, furious. A journalist fumbled with his phone, ready to tweet: Justice is dead in Nigeria.

But Ezekwesili wasn’t done yet. She rose, her voice unwavering. “This is not justice. This is a sale. And one day, the people will demand a refund.”

The room erupted. The revolution had just begun.
