Yesterday's appearance of Chief Raymond Dokpesi in court had a questionable highlight as noticed in the character of protesters that came to protest his arraignment.

Raymond Dokpesi's arrival in court with the EFCC operatives

Justice Gabriel Kolawole yesterday, 10th of December, deferred ruling in the bail application filed by media mogul, Chief Raymond Dokpesi who is being tried by the Federal Government on six count charges of violation of Public Procurement laws and money laundering.

The premises of the Federal High Court in Abuja where his trial took place was surrounded by protesters with placards that contained inscriptions against his trial which they termed as 'Persecution' and not 'Prosecution'.

Strong rumours have it that the crowd was a rented one as most of them were traders, hawkers and other jobless folks at motor parks in Abuja who couldn't even identify the Chairman of Daar Communication not to talk of having a vivid knowledge of the case at hand.

The scourching heat of the sun made matters worse as they were seen drinking water incessantly and covering their heads with placards.
