“The first part of the proceedings is over, and the second half will be rolled open to seek my right. The [law] made clear anyone who wrongly branded me.  I am informing the top leaders of the country the time for coercing people through the barrel of a gun is over. The law is supreme”

He made a particular appeal to the members of the federal lower and upper houses to hold accountable every person who commits abuse of power and under performs of their expected achievements.

“I am appealing to the two house of the federal to hold accountable anyone that behaves to be above the law. I am reminding the MPs that through the law that people can live in this country. Any person that failed to execute their responsibilities shall be hold accountable by the two federal houses”

Abdishakur was released earlier today following his second hearing when the court termed evidences presented against him as irreconcilable ones with article 39 of the Criminal Act.

“Today was the time for the office of the attorney general to give evidences in line with article 39 which they failed to forward evidences relevant under this article forcing the court to release him” said the Judge.
