High Court sitting in Yola, Adamawa State, has sentenced two men to prison over N362m allegedly disbursed by former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Allison-Madueke.

Justice Nathan Musa of High Court 1 on Thursday in Yola also ordered the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to produce the 3rd defendant, Allison-Madueke before his court.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had charged Ibrahim Mohammed Umar (1st defendant), Sahabo Iya Hamman (2nd defendant) and Allison-Madueke (3rd defendant) to court for allegedly laundering the said N362m.

He said, "The 3rd defendant in her desire to influence election in favour of then President, Goodluck Jonathan, authorised the release of N362m public money through Fidelity bank to the 1st and 2nd defendants to corrupt election officials.”

Considering the evidences as provided by both the prosecuting and defence counsels, Justice Nathan convicted Umar and Hamman on three-count charges.

He therefore, sentenced them to seven years on each of the charges.

The judge however, considered a plea of allocotus from the defence counsel and ordered that the sentences will run concurrently.

I wonder why people steal soo much and then live the rest of their lives without peace of mind.

Peace of mind is better than riches oh, my people

Yes

Same court who orders IGP to produce Diezani won't be able to order IGP to release Diezani on bail..

Seems Court order does not hold water again. Thanks to Marjor General

On only 3 count charges, the defendants got 7 years sentences while on over 20 count charges, despite being found guilty of all of them, Uzor Kalu got 12 years. Our politicians keep getting lighter sentences while other Nigerians get heavier ones. There is a judiciary tailored to every class in Nigeria. One judiciary for the politicians and rich business men, while another judiciary for those not in the first class I mentioned.
