Alamieyeseigha: The Unpardonable Pardon

By Msonter Anzaa

Another controversy dished out recently from the kitchen of Aso Rock was the “pardon” granted the former Bayelsa State Governor, Chief Dieprieye Alamiseigha and others by President Goodluck Jonathan. Chief Alamieseigha had been arrested for money laundering by the London Metropolitan Police in 2005. However, while on bail, the Chief simply disappeared from London and landed inBayelsa. The State Assembly was not impressed by that behavior, so it impeached Alams and the EFCC took over. He was convicted and sent to jail.
