The police arrested me by mistake the other day [View all]

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. So, I kept my mouth shut, made bail, followed my conditions of release, and hired a lawyer. It’s all I could do.

Then, I found out that the charge was dismissed. Good!
But I later learned that the Governor had called the prosecutor and asked them to dismiss the charge. That sucked. Wish she hadn’t done that since I knew I was innocent.

Question: Do I plead guilty anyway to maintain my integrity?

Some of you are screaming “yes” when you impugn and implicate Folarin Balogun.
