Now I understand why Justice Oputa went for thanksgiving after the end of this assignment. In the word of Obasanjo, an onerous task indeed!

Watching Rev. Fr. Kukah sit on the board of this commission with the legendary Justice Oputa is hearth warming. He’s been involved in National dev matters since. Why then do ppl say Clergies shouldn’t be involved politics?

[@ayoolaayobami7315]

We are equal before the Law But is not operated in Nigeria There's some prominent in Nigeria above the Law.

[@thetravelerwonderfulworld9854]

This is the very first time in Nigeria's history when a sitting president respected a summons to appear before a tribunal, even though he was not required by law to do so. Obasanjo attended this to show a good example to other Nigerians. So when you give Falana accolades, also reserve some for Baba.

[@verdugoroadtech]

We thank Mr Fela Anikulapo-Kuti(of blessed memory)for enabling reflection, discussion and serious thoughts on issues of legality and matters concerning our statehood. At his great expense and personal cost.May his soul rest in eternal rest.

[@efficientoluwasogo4572]

[@undergroundboss6779]

Felix Omorodion wrong mate. OBJ’s submissions were purely logical and not arrogant as you assume. His counsel and the learned judge, Justice Oputa both averred that Falana’s Question was insulting and was contrary to the evidence act.

[@HenryImolehin]

Well presented Falana Kudos!

[@TosereOjeme]

Obasanjo was fact checking a lawyer and you’re impressed?

[@karoosogba8900]

Say what you want about Obasanjo but I respect the fact that he came to the tribunal and this was aired on national television. Things like this makes people believe a little in the system and show that the leadership class aren't Kings. Things like this should be done often so as to educate young Nigerians on our government and democracy. Too many people are absolutely clueless about our system of government.

[@joyodiase1850]

Fool

[@fatherandsonforum9119]

Oputa Panel established by Obasanjo himself was a show of mockery to Nigerians and to the victims in case. The resources used in setting up this panel was a waste. All the criminal cases and their perpetrators, examined by this panel could not reach any conclusive end. Nigeria is a joke. Thanks to Barrister Falana for exposing the uselessness of this mockery panel and Obasanjo's injustice to the fela's family.

Have pity on a country where some few individual thought they are above others. The most powerful in civilised country as US, UK, France etc. Who are you not to be asked a mere question in the court of law? Arrogance of demi gods of Nigeria is overwhelming. Body language and utterances of the so called judge and defence lawyer tells how they all eat and dine together at night and deceive ordinary citizens by the day time. Only the separation of the ethnicities Biafra, Oodua Arewa etc. Nigerian can never be right. Salut to you Barrister Falana SAN for courage.
