- The situation has sparked widespread reactions online as Nigerians debate who was truly responsible for the failed bail process.
Ratel member Tumma Gabriel has reacted to the controversy surrounding the courtroom drama involving Justice Crack’s legal team, strongly defending Barrister Marshall while accusing activist Randy Peters of being biased and sentimental in his commentary about the incident.
Speaking on the matter, Tumma Gabriel criticized the decision to allegedly bring in another lawyer to speak on a bail application that had originally been prepared and filed by Barrister Marshall.
“Randy peters is a very b!ased human being, very sent!mental and also takes sides. I saw your interview you did about barrister Marshall this morning and blaming him for justice crack not being granted bail…. Why will you bring another lawyer to come take the glory of all Bar Marshal’s effort, his name in on the bail application and yet you brought another lawyer in to come speak on his behalf, that’s totally !nsane.”
His statement comes shortly after Barrister Marshall withdrew from Justice Crack’s case following a disagreement within the defence team, a move that reportedly invalidated the existing bail application and led to the case being adjourned till Monday.
The incident has continued to generate heated reactions online, with many social media users divided over who should be blamed for the courtroom fallout.
