LAJs plea has been on the way since and here are a highlight of what’s been happening so far.
The State is asking for 10 years for each of the three counts and 4 years for the fourth count, grievous bodily harm.
LAJ made a very emotional appeal on his own behalf, which moved the court and maybe Justice Fischer.
Dressed in White shirt and blue jean, LAJ looked like a reformed man.
Here are some of the quotations from his plea:
“This has been the longest 9months of my life”
“I am not a thief, I am a giver, I don’t take from people. I have learnt my lesson”
“I stand before not as LAJ the icon, but as Alhaji Amadu Bah, a human being. A human being who makes mistakes, a human being who hangs out with the wrong people, a human being who was at the wrong place at the wrong time,”
“I a say sorry to my fans, I say sorry to my family, I say sorry the attendants. I take full responsibility of my action. I have learnt my lesson”
Being famous, being a musician has caused me so much trouble. I just want to live, I am dying to live”
This was a very emotional courtroom, very few eyes were dry.
Justice Fisher has ordered the court to stand down and we wait until 4pm for his final decision.
