Austin Okai's Family Calls Out Kogi Governor Amid Health Crisis

Kogi Governor Faces Backlash Over PDP Chieftain's Health Crisis

Listen, here's the situation: The family of Austin Okai, a prominent chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is speaking out against Kogi State Governor Usman Ododo. They're holding him accountable for any harm that comes to Okai and his family. This all started after a Nigerian court ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to rearrest Okai, even though medical reports confirm he's battling severe hypertension. His blood pressure reading is alarmingly high at 182. Imagine being in that kind of condition and still being told to show up in court.

Family Expresses Outrage Over Court Decision

A reliable source close to the family told Naija News that the judge disregarded a medical report presented by Okai’s lawyer. The report clearly stated that Okai’s health was too fragile for him to appear in court. Yet, the judge insisted on the rearrest, brushing aside concerns about Okai's deteriorating health. It's like the court turned a blind eye to the severity of the situation. Let me ask you: If someone's life is literally at risk, shouldn't the system be more compassionate?

Questions Arise About Fair Trial Under Ododo's Leadership

Now, here's the kicker: The family source is questioning the timing and urgency behind this rearrest. They argue that Okai can't possibly receive a fair trial under Governor Ododo's administration. The source said, “This is nothing but political persecution. After enduring 21 days of incarceration, he was granted bail. Why can’t they give him a break? Why not allow him a week or two to recover? All they want is to throw him back into prison.”

And here's the kicker: “If something happens to him, the Kogi State government should be held responsible. If he disappears, Nigerians should point the finger at Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo. If he dies, the state government must answer for it. And if he's arrested again, it's crystal clear who's behind it.”

They added, “Why the rush? If the judge truly wanted to be fair, he could have postponed the case and allowed Okai to seek medical treatment. His safety, as well as his family’s, is now in jeopardy. He has three children and a wife. If anything happens to them, the world needs to know that this is on Governor Ododo’s watch.”

Extended Charges Raise Eyebrows

Initially, Okai was accused of cyberstalking, but the family source revealed that the charges have now expanded to include defamation against the governor. The source questioned, “Would the governor even show up in court over this? The entire case screams politically motivated.”

They went on to say, “A man with a blood pressure of 182 was ordered to appear in court, despite his lawyer presenting a report stating his health is worsening and that he requires urgent medical attention. On Wednesday, his blood pressure spiked to 191 due to the trauma and emotional torture he endured during 21 days of unjust incarceration.”

And this is where it gets even more troubling: “After formally requesting two weeks to receive medical treatment, the judge still ordered his rearrest at the request of the DSS. It’s like they’re more concerned with punishment than justice.”

So, what do you think? Should the system prioritize health and fairness over haste? Let's keep the conversation going.
