Mr Igbinedion, Governor of Edo State from 1999 to 2007, was convicted for embezzling N2.9 billion belong to the state in December 2008.


In exchange for his guilty plea, the Federal High Court in Enugu sentenced him to six months’ imprisonment with an option of N3.5 million fine

How do you want corruption to stop with this kind judgment

I guess this case is dead on arrival, he had been sentenced for or a related crime. Efcc should hunt for his mates in other geopolitical zones especially the North West instead of chasing shadows

Come again, do you mean a releated crime or the same crime?

This guy, Ibori, Odili, Tinubu, Orji Kalu, Jolly Nyame, Dariye, Yerima, Aliero, Abdullahi Adamu, Akume, the late Alams and Kure, all from the 1999 to 2007 set should not be walking free in a normal country.

EX-EDO STATE GOVERNOR, Mr Lucky Igbenedion looted Edo state to penury during his time as governor of Edo state.

It was during the time of President Olusegun Obasanjo as President of Nigeria.

Crude oIl was selling for between $80 to $100 USA Dollars and Edo state was receiving a sizeable amount of money from the Federation account ( FAAC )

Mr Lucky Igbenedion failed to tarred most of the bad roads in Edo state while he was governor and he made Edo state people to believe that there was little money that was coming to Edo state from the Federation Account.

But that was not true. There are many Edo people who were of the opinion that Ex-governor Lucky Igbenedion was diverting Edo state money to his private account, his father ailing businesses etc.

It was alleged that Mr Lucky Igbenedion used part of the money to settle his fathers indebtedness as Chief Gabriel Igbenedion the father of Mr Lucky Igbenedion was already a BROKE ASS MAN ! following the liquidation of his Airline Okada Air, newspaper company and many of his business that threw him to limelight.

Today, his father, Chief Gabriel Igbenedion ( the Esama of Benin Kingdom ) can afford to organised numerous birthdays parties year in and year out thanks to funding from his ex-governor son, Mr Lucky Igbenedion who ran aground the treasury of Edo state.

Those of us listening to his radio station are disturbed with numerous birthday congratulations news that runs into weeks.

Once you tune to Igbenedion radio station in Edo state the first thing you hear in the weeks of August to September the month of the birthday is the news of the birthday.

It is as if Chief Gabriel Igbenedion set up that station for birthday greeting for himself.

WHO PROVIDED THIS MONEY FOR HIS FATHER?

answer: EX-GOVERNOR LUCKY IGBENEDION.

Forget about he has universities, medical school, radio station, fastfood eateries, supermarket etc.

The WORST Governor I have ever seen..

Thought the BUFFOON has been dealt with?

From legal perspective, is this not what is referred to as double jeopardy in law?

This case is under CORRUPTION...i.e use of public funds for personal gains...while holding public office..of which he was prosecuted and convicted

But now, you are still trying him for same?...is that not double jeopardy in law...that the.. The government can't prosecute someone more than once for the same crime.
