Former governor of Delta State, James Ibroi, was yesterday admitted at the national hospital, Abuja, for an undisclosed illness. He was driven down to Abuja from the Kaduna prisons accompanied by a heavy detachment of anti-riot policemen. The prison authorities had initially planned to fly James Ibori to Abuja with a police helicopter.
Ibori was reportedly reffered to the national hospital by prison doctors and private medical consultants attached to him.
How many prison inmates have access to medical doctors? How many inmates even have the rare priviledge of being attended to by private medical consultants while awaiting trial?
Does it imply that though we are all bonafide citizens of Nigeria yet we are not equal before the law?

Are you surprised? Now I hear he has disappeared from the hospital. It is all part of the game and we are used to it. We can cry on we want and it will not change anything but I am confident that this 2008 it will not be business as usual. God will make those that are suppose to act to protect Nigerians to act hence I foresee more in jail.
