Finally,
light has shone at the end of the tunnel of
one time big money spender, Lekan Olofinjana as we gathered
authoritatively that he has been released from his jailers.
Lekan
Olofinjana, popularly known as Lekan Lokoso ruled the social firmament in the
80s through the early 90s before he was nabbed by the US Drug Enforcement
Agency and was made a permanent tenant of the jailer.
Today,
Lokoso who is now 56 years old can heave a sigh of relieve as he was released
from the prison. Though his actual released date is 2017 March, but because the
authorities felt he had learnt his lessons, he was released last month.
If the news
is cheering enough, the fact that he was not allowed to stay in the US again
where his child and wife were residents still leaves a hole in his heart. This
is because Lokoso was promptly deported despite his pleas to stay in the
country he once enjoyed full benefits.
His crime then we gathered was his romance
with the devil's dust. He made so much money from the illicit trade in drugs
that he lived a life of flamboyance; he was also said to be very generous,
hence, many musicians sang his praise to high heavens.
Lekan's case
was a celebrated one and at the end of the trial, the good-looking chap was
slammed with 27 years in jail.
However, the
question on many people lips is that will he be able to fit in into the
Nigerian system again? What about his friends and associates, some of which
have become top government officials; will they be ready to associate with him
again, these are the QUESTIONS begging for answers.
