Punishment for fake whistle blower

No doubt every fake whistle blower is likely to damage image of another person and waste public resources. But I found the recommended punishment ridiculous, morbid and insulting to our intelligence. Those who committed evil knew what they have done but equally knows that you cannot prove it beyond reasonable doubt thereby using it to jail the blower and deterred people from giving witness. Even the most glaring ones cannot be proved beyond reasonable doubt in Nigeria courts unless you can employ smart SANs who will outbid the criminals before the judge behind the scenes. All fake peddlers required is public reprimand and disqualify from giving witness henceforth. Afterall no innocent has been wrongfully punished as a result of false witness. If fake peddlers is jailed for 5 years and fined 10millions then looters deserves times 10 of such punishment. Is that the case of our lawmakers demanding amnesty for looters. They simply want padlocks in our mouths but being wise by half. God is our refuge. Dr Olaiya Abideen
