waoh, I had to first search Newspaper online to read from d original source and waoh its true. Am beginning to like this change; each 5million naira attracts at least a year in jail/ with return of d loot and asset forfeiture of d regd company. Pls Pmb this is great and this is one area most of us irrespective of party/culture/or religious diff are united and support u but pls let it go round .

Dis 1 evribodi is goin 2 prison hope i won't b charged 4 embezzlement ooo cos my senator uncle bought me 1 black italian suit lyk dat

HMM...and somewhere in ekiti a judge sentenced a commoner that stole 14k death by hanging ..end time judges

After 10 years what next who will paid the money

If this is true,then it is good for him but will his godfathers fold their arms allowing him to go to jail?

Op I beg post the compete news cos I'm sure there would be an option of fine for him.

Fake news

HungerBAD:
Good.

This Government is working.

The first casualty has been recorded in less than 7months!! Though he's small time but it's a start.

A lot more would go down before the end of Baba's first tenure. During his second, goats would run for dear life at the sight of yams!

when are they sending Amaechi and Dasuki to prison for diverting Rivers state fund and FG fund for Buhari and GEJ election campaign?

Wonderful news. Dasuki next.

Don't send them to Jail alone, they must refund the looted money

This nation needs many many more prisons and d recruitment of more wardens! Sai baba!

Biafrans, learn to read before commenting. Hatred is eating you guys' senses up.

"In addition, the first convict must return/refund the sum of N51.5 million to Adamawa state local Government joint account fund from where it was stolen and diverted by him and his company," she said.

The judge also ordered the Corporate
Affairs Commission (CAC) to wind up Al- Akim Investment Limited and have its assets forfeited to the federal
government of Nigeria.

#THISisCHANGE Dasuki get ready

Lies.....lies......10yrs.......the guy dey house dey chill

This is d best news since handover and this is what we v been preaching; take suspects to court n have them tried and if found guilty sentence and jail them. Let it not only be opposition members. If 51million naira attract 10yrs in prison and return of d looted 51 million naira to d govt coffers then a very good precedence has been set. Mathematically, each five millon naira u steal is at least a year in jail. Am particularly happy no option of fine equivalent but d guilt MUST serve out d prison term while still having d stolen money returned. If other judges b this courageous then corruption has come to an end. Even d forfeiture of asset of d indicted company. This judge deserves an award cos with this pattern life imprisonment is finally possible for corruption or if u r old ur family mbrs can serve out ur term if u die earlier

owk 4 dem

PDP made a bloody mistake on d very 1st day of their presidential campaign when Jonathan opened his rotten mouth and attempted to cleverly direct an attack on the anti corruption mantra of Buhari! Jonathan unknowingly, boosted d credibility of Buhari when he (GEJ) said that he wud not be d President who will hijack pple and send them to prison! That day I fell in love with Buhari, because I want many pple in jail! But my only grouse is dat PMB is damn too slow about it!

Justice Bilkisu Bello Aliyu of the Federal High Court, Yola, Adamawa state on Friday handed 10 years imprisonment to sentenced former Commissioner of Local Government Affairs John Elias for defrauding Adamawa State government of the sum of N51.5 million while in office.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had arraigned Elias along side two others who were discharged as well as a company owned by Elias on four count charges of fraud.
Justice Aliyu said the judgement will serve as a deterrent to public office holders who may want to divert public funds. For personal benefit.

"I hereby sentenced the first convict, John Babani Elias to 10 years imprisonment on count 3 and another 10 years imprisonment on count 4 but the two sentences will run concurrently," Justice Bilkisu Aliyu ruled.

"In addition, the first convict must return/refund the sum of N51.5 million to Adamawa state local Government joint account fund from where it was stolen and diverted by him and his company," she said.

The judge also ordered the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to wind up Al-Akim Investment Limited and have its assets forfeited to the federal government of Nigeria.

dont quote me to talk off point. Wailers wail cos d country deserved to be wailed for. An average wailer (inc me) is no fanatic but support d govt when it does something great. Without wailers, dia will be one party state hence it ll b autocracy. We wail for accountability and a better society.

My favourite part of the judgement!

It is no more the "Goat must eat yam" era of the Cretin of Otuoke.

E no go better for all those that were advocating GEJ continue ruining the country.

You and your descendants would continue meeting misery till eternity. Baaaastards!

for now ur wailing is absolutely useless and fooolishly unjustified! I will be a proud wailer if in three yrs there iss noting tangible from this administration! But for now u re juss a disgruntled wailer! Ur dafty hero is close to being invited but I fear that blind wailers like u will frustrate gov effort wit ur frog-like wailing!

Death my hanging
