Evil everywhere, both big and small. I will critically suggest that both men be arrested and locked away for a long time. Mr. Abisodun and Mr. Anyaduba are one of the problems facing Nigeria for many many years and we have to get rid of them now as quickly as possible, there should be no sentiments,superstitions or tribal conspiracy. Take it like this, supposed Mr. Abisodun was able to follow up with the arrangement, to get the parts he would either steal or kill to get them. Think about the innocent people that would have died in the process of getting the parts. Mr. Anyaduba also is evil who does not care how Mr. Abisodun could obtain such parts . Mr. Anyaduba, all he knew or focused onto was the profit he could make from such deal. Mr. Anyaduba, deep down in his mind knew that the parts must be a stolen one, ” well, to hell with that, who cares”. The society, to rise from this pit-hole must be serious to use the ladder of progress and eradicate any epidemic on their pursue to a better society for tomorrow. These two men are not alone, there are many of them out there. To get them, we should employ the same tactics used by Mr. Abisodun, although his intentions were evil. The Magistrate should reconsider arresting both men. She should not only focus on breach of public peace but what kind of contract was it. ” Tabla rosa” Every evil methods are learned on earth. We must, at this critical point chose righteous methods so that Yahweh will show us what He promised in Jeremiah 33:3, ” Call Me, I will answer you……..” May Yahweh blessed the United States of Nigeria.
