According to her: ” like I tell people, that case of Bayelsa was a case decided by God himself. None of us in that panel foresaw what was going to happen.

“Everyone who read the file had their hands on the head because there was nothing else to do than to give the judgement to the person who deserved that judgement.

“So when people were asking, are you not worried? I said I cannot be worried. Since God decided that this is the man who should occupy that seat, who am I or my colleagues to say otherwise?

“We had to do it as the law had dictated that we do it. If the haven fell, too bad, that is the way it was”.
