The Benue people are people of integrity an ethnic group that uphold the ethics and morality of life. What baffles my imagination is how the present Attorney General of the Federation will put the hard earned reputation built by the Benue leaders to public ridicule for his selfish motive and greed for materialistic quest for wealth. You will all agree that the likes of J.S TARKAA, fought gallantly for the emancipation of the present middle Beltans, where we are day. Sorry for taking readers back, a little. But it’s for the sake of clarity. The appointment of KAASE MIKE AONDOAKAA was a hope for the anti grafts agencies and Nigerians in general, more so that he was coming from a background that has no political history. Hopes were high. Today, the young man has become a barrier for the fight against corruption. The exoneration of Ibori from all the charges leveled against him by the EFCC did not come as a surprise to me because of the corrupt issues surrounding the AGF. He was first petitioned by the committee for the Defence of Human Right, CDHR. Many thought it was political, later he was fingered as Ibori, s protector. Then sentiments came in that the Yoruba’s are interested in the office just to deviate from the truth. But here we are today, knowing fully well that Ibori is guilty of the charges leveled against him, 
but the AGF hired assassin Justice MARCEL AWOKULEHIN of the FHC Asaba delivered a kangaroo judgment in favour of Ibori just to please his master AGF. No wonder the minister is no disposed to the issue of Special Court . (AGF AONDOAKAA) YOU MUST GO. ALI MUST GO WILL REPEAT ITSELF.
The Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders (CACOL) has called on the National Judicial Council, (NJC), through the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Idris Kutigi, to kick Justice Marcel Awokulehin off the James Ibori kangaroo trial in Asaba.
In a follow-up petition dated 11 December, CACOL drew the attention of the NJC to the abominable misconduct of Justice Abdullahi Mustapha, the former Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, and Awokulehin.
It said that removing Awokulehin from the case is the right thing to do as whatever decision the judge takes would be wanting in credibility and embarrass the judiciary.Recalling the embarrassing history of the Ibori trial, the Coalition called upon Justice Kutigi, “in the name of all that is good, not to allow Mr. Justice Awokulehin deliver a ruling that would cast aspersions on the neutrality of the bench in this case, and thereby erode people’s confidence in the judiciary as an arm of government that is expected to be the last sanctuary of hope for the oppressed. In the petition, which was copied to The President; the President of the Senate; the Honourable Speaker, House of Representatives; the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation; and the President of the Nigerian Bar Association, CACOL called on the NJC to intervene before the matter becomes a national embarrassment. Justice Awokulehin is scheduled to deliver a judgement quashing Ibori's money laundering charges on December 16 2009. Ibori paid the judge $5 million for the "ruling" seeking to quash 170-count charges filed against him by the EFCC.
