David Mark’s ADC Court Case Has Me Rethinking Karma

I keep thinking about David Mark’s role during the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election. The account recalls claims that he threatened to shoot Moshood Abiola if Abiola were declared the winner. Abiola was later jailed and died before Nigeria returned to civilian rule. Mark went on to serve in the Senate for 20 years, including eight years as Senate President. Now, a young man has challenged Mark’s position as ADC chairman in court. According to this account, the court asked Mark to provide documents showing he was a party member, had left the PDP, and was properly elected chairman. The writer says Mark could not produce them. The young man was only eight when the alleged threat against Abiola was made. I used to think karma had disappeared, but these recent events have me wondering whether it was only waiting.
