OF TERFA LORD JIRGBA: A Tale Of Thief, Police And Lawyer: The Trinity Of Liars



By Shachia Oryila

I am reading that a lawyer to the Benue-government-pardoned militant, Gana, is an accomplice to the run-away militant. I am also reading that bags of Indian hemp were discovered in the militant's house when it was demolished by the security men recently.
I am equally reading that part of the money the wanted man collected as ransom for a kidnapped victim was found in the house. In another development, I am reading that the wanted militant rustled 3000 cattle. Everything was found in the house except cattle and human creatures. Police sha! In all these, the police is the reporter, accuser, the prosecutor, the witnesses and the judge in their case.
How can you pardon a criminal whose guilt is not tested in court? At what point did the government or police discovered that the lawyer was an accomplice--and not a lawyer to the accused? The thief, the police and the lawyer are in a conjugal trinity since time immemorial. A thief steals your thing. The police arrest him. The lawyer goes to defend him. The thief lies, the police cook his books to have him detained and the lawyer comes to the rescue. When you pass a checkpoint and refuse to give police roja, they plant an incriminating substance into you bag and turn round to accuse you of possession of illegal substance. A man comes to a checkpoint with a human head, drops 50 naira for the police, they wave frantically at him and pick their money. Police and police jam for a woman, na there you go say you need to run for your life when you, a bloody civilian, and a policeman are dating the same girl.
Now look at these:
Agatu was attacked, more than 300 were killed by cattle Fulani. The police said there was no grave to say that people were killed. 22 people were killed in Ukum, Logo and Buruku by cattle Fulani. The police said only three people were killed. Believe police all the time and you are doomed.

The criminal when he is caught, he confesses that that is his first time. They have no pity when they come for you. As long as money is paid, the lawyer can defend a criminal and have him released.
The thief wears black clothes; the police wear black uniform; the lawyer wears black suits. Of all these three, however, it is only the lawyer that has the sense of compassion and humanity even when he lies. Events in the Bible seem to support lie that will serve someone's life. And the lawyer, as we saw in late Ocholi as with Boko Haram, is prone to be framed and hanged for his professional relationship with a wanted man.
