No be all this police collect my phone, arrest me for road cases.....
Country don green with corruption, especially this men and women in wigs and gown who are supposed to punish offenders with strict judgements but
All they get, after stealing big, is a slap on the wrist.

He still remains a convict despite the payment of fine

Bad market

Paying the fine however does not erase the fact that the DG PCC of the labour party is a convicted criminal.

This is the New Nigeria those zombidients were championing.

A criminal whom Obi choose as a VP placeholder and DG will definitely be instrumental to key official appointment in Obi's utopian government.

And TINUBU who entered a plea bargain to forfeit drugs money is a saint?

So you collect 200 million and then pay 13 million as fine?

Or has he been made to forfeit the 200 million?
Or am I missing something here?
Bros, you sef see say the matter nor sweet. If that's a possible way out, it will only encourage more people to steal.

Point of correction okupe wasn't convicted for corruption but for receiving more than N5million in cash which supposed to go through the bank and not received in cash which is against the money laundering act and he was fine for that or face a jail term which he has paid.
okonsua:
According to the report: he didn't use the money for himself rather it was used for campaign and salaries of workers then. So where he was found guilty was,the said money didn't pass through financial institution,and the fine of 13M was because his wife,son and lawyer pleaded for mercy on his behalf.
Okay, I Gerrit.

The money was actually not outrightly illegal as it was given from the office of NSA for official purpose

but collecting such as cash is against financial act, he will have done 1 or 2 official stuff with the money but of cause he will have gulp majority of it

The use of cash makes the money spent nearly untraceable thereby making it hard for efcc to convict him of stealing,

He is only convicted of collecting huge cash

Politicians are truly the greatest enemy of this country, they keep stealing and gaming the system

Funny enough the NSA person who gave out the huge cash is working free but the receiver is jailed
Okay I Gerrit

This is exactly what I was saying. They saw him guilty because he has more than 5m in cash at hand but Tinubu with a whole bullion van with cash inside is innocent. Foolish people.
Racoon:
Meanwhile, highly placed but indicted northerners starting right from the ATM himself-Col Sambo Dasuki, Former governor Adamu Mauzu(Bauchi state), Barnabas Gemade, and others who long defected to the ruling APC have been cleansed by the coven's witchcraft broom and insulated from the fangs of the government EFCC lapdog.

All the highly placed persons still serving in the Buhari’s regime that were implicated in the Dasuki's arms funds scandal probe have long escaped justice as both the probe panel and its report( released and unreleased) have been disbanded by the hypocritical regime.

However, only the likes of Olisa Metuh, Doyin Okupe etc are being convicted in the trademark Buhari’s govt lopsided anti-corruption war prosecution by the EFCC.
So much a moral baggage for a government.

Wonders! shocked

The person who shared the money has not been convicted after several years but one of the beneficiaries has already been convicted...

I believe he was held for 4 years then released? The head of NSA cannot be prosecuted by a court, So section 315(5) & (6) of your constitution says.

That's not the case here. He wasn't found guilty of stealing or anything. His only crime was receiving in cash more than 5 million. This is against the law

Someone that steals goats get a long jail time including a stringent fine.But okupe paid just 13m from the 240m he stole.African magic.
Obviously you didn't read the post.

He didn't steal. He wasn't found guilty of all that. The 200m he got was disbursed accordingly.

His only crime was receiving more than 5m in cash. That's against the law and termed Money laundring.

Not good enough.Now he goes free. There ought not to be any shitty option of bail, fine or plea bargain as far as corruption is concerned in Nigeria given that all these have simply been leeways these highly placed but indicted crooks used to escape justice.

There is serious need for the legislation to upgrade this punishment to outright capital punishment of death by hanging or firing squad. This is the only option that will really instill sense and fear in the future aspiring corrupt people especially politicians.
imagine #200m minus #13m? Anyone with Cal? Stealing prox in next government

He didn't chop the 200m... His office received it CASH.

I am sure all of them are guilty of this. Did Buhari son bought his secret bikes with ATM or cash, didn't that pass the maximum limits.

They should Convict Dasuki (the main man, the kingpin), and also convict all the other people who Dasuki share the money to.

They should all become ex-convicts together.

This animal is in support of lopsided trials and judgements?

Why is Dasuki still not convicted yet?
And all the other people who got a good chunk of the said money?
