The evil that men does lives after them so goes Williams Shakespeare's quote. Abba Abacha, son of the late of the late Nigeria
Military Head of state, Late Gen. Sani Abacha who died in power may be sentenced
to prison again.
This is due to his absence at his retrial by a swiss high
court again last Wednesday. He had earlier been sentenced in absentia to the
two year suspended prison term and also his assets confiscated for misappropriation
and stealing of public funds when his father was the head of Nigeria government
But he won an appeal at the Swiss Federal Tribunal citing
procedural irregularities after which the court ordered the sentence annulled and
retrial.
This time around he had stated his inability to appear to be
due to head injuries and whiplash he sustained during a recent a road traffic
accident.
“People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim.
What I’ve learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one
surrenders one’s reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person
one’s master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality
that person’s view requires to be faked…The man who lies to the world, is the
world’s slave from then on…There are no white lies, there is only the blackest
of destruction, and a white lie is the blackest of all.” Ayn
Rand, Atlas Shrugged
