After much pressure, the court has finally granted the boss of Lekki Gardens, Richard Nyong bail after he was arrested following the collapse of one of his building, killing over 30 people in Lagos State.

One of the stars championing the right for his bail, OAP Freeze has been jumping in jubilation since he got a wind of the news.

The controversial TV star posted the news on his Instagram with the caption: "Breaking!!!! LEKKI Gardens boss Richard Nyong granted bail! GOD is indeed faithful. Like I earlier said, I am not saying he shouldn't be tried, my emphasis lies greatly on a fair trial, without stripping away his dignity. Also the alleged human rights violation/abuse reported in this case (which I won't talk about in this post) is another thing I am absolutely against!
"Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat (the burden of proof is on the one who declares, not on one who denies), is the principle that one is considered innocent unless proven guilty."
In criminal law, Blackstone's formulation (also known as Blackstone's ratio or the Blackstone ratio) is the principle that:
"It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer" - William Blackstone.
If we want democracy and its dividends we must learn to embrace. Justice for all, ' he wrote.
