Court clears Agba Jalingo of terrorism, cybercrime charges

Speaking with journalists after the ruling, Jalingo insisted he was innocent and decried the length of time he spent in jail because of what he described as “a sham trial.”

“I knew from day one that I did not commit the offence, I knew it was just a matter of time for the court to throw the matter away. “It’s just painful that our system is skewed in this manner where three years of my time has been wasted coming from Lagos to Calabar because of a sham trial. “Their intention was to scare me, push me until I break. So the lesson I have learnt is that it is better to hold on. Even when at the breaking point, take a deep breath, pray to God, believe in God, and ask him to give you strength.

“I think today, the person that will really feel bad is the governor of Cross River State and those who locked me up. Wherever they are now, I think their conscience is talking to them,” Jalingo said.All rights reserved.

No 1 is paying for illegal detention, damages, loss of earnings that is a tall order for Gov. Ayade who deliberately had this journalist locked up, we should thank him that Jalingo did not become Daddiyata. May 🇳🇬 never happen to U, is a strong prayer point while kneeling down

Buhari's government hasn't tried those Boko Haram and bandits who have killed thousands. What a shame to APC
