please can I steal 1billion and go to jail for 5years as long as my money remains in fixed-deposit.I'll be a happy man in jail

77 count, 2 years no refund of money, what kind of judgment is this?

henryutd:
But NTA said 154 years.
Till rapture

Which one do I believe now? Let it be 154 abeg.

he was convicted and sentenced to 2 years each on 77 charges. This equals to 154 years but he will serve the term concurrently, meaning he will serve two years

JUst do ur calculation is was convicted on 77 counts and sentenced to two years on each count to run concurrently, that is mean 154 year

Check This Out..

A prisoner who is serving two concurrent five-year sentences will serve those prison terms together, meaning that he'll probably get out of jail in five years rather than ten.

Omo the 2 years na x 77 counts ohhh 154 years damn brah

Did u say 2 years for stealing JUST 1.4bn. Probably d justice wanted to say 2 days.

Guilty of 77 charges amounting to 1.4bn of taxpayers money? 2 years? No refund or seizure of properties?

Indeed! DIARIS GOD O in Patience Jonathan's tone.

208 count and they are done with while Saraki is just 13 count charge and they are taking forever. Hmm

On each count charge,he's jailed for 2 years....unfortunately for him he has 77 count charges against him which he will serve concurrently... Ie 77x2= 154

2yrs each for a count which equals 154yrs for 77counts for which he was found guilty. Unfortunately, the jail term will run concurrently which means he has just 2yrs to spend in prison.
Stupid judgement that encourages stealing....
God forsaken judicial system of Nigeria... Corruption is in our blood.... Only God knows how much the judge was paid. Smh

Try to read and understand, according to the post the man is guilty on 77 charges out of 208 and each of charge is 2yrs imprisonment by 77 is 154yrs imprisonment. so nta is correct bro.

isahsalee:

flowgroup:


Hello always try and understand an article before you comment it says 2years for each count of his 77 count charge and it's to run concurrently

Hello I understood the article very well before commenting. I think you need a dictionary before u quote people ignorantly. Check the meaning of concurrently.

Guy u may b wrong also...

They did Nt say he is guilty of 77 charges.....

They said he is guilty on the 77th meaning out of 208..he was only guilty of d number 77...meaning Jst 1, charge.....

Each count 2years culd mean that all the 208 charges has strictly 2 years each.....so since he is guilty of Jst d 77 number he has Jst 2years to spend.....

All am trying to say that op post has many meaning

Akshow:
Let me get this straight. He stole 1.4 billion and was jailed for two years

I'm afraid rather than be a corrective measure, this will encourage looters to steal more. Meanwhile my people carry out jungle justice on someone that steals just ordinary phone. I laugh for my country in Spanish.

Let me help U a bit. He was arraigned on a 208 count charge totalling N1.4 billion but was found guilty 77 counts amounting to N69 million.
Again, Mr. Wahab Shittu who is the EFCC lawyer brought the charges under section 14 of Money Laundering Act, 2004 which stipulates for a maximum sentence of 2 years. The Judge cannot punish him more than the what the law says.
So its our laws that are the problem and not the judge.

Plss wat it simply mean is 154yrs imprisonment 77count X 2.......2 yrs for each count to run concurrently..........unless u hav comprehension problem

He was found guilty on 77 counts out of the 208 counts. Section 14 of the Money Laundering Act , 2004 under which he was charged stipulates for a maximum sentence of 2 years and that is what he got.
I was inside the Court when the judgement was delivered. The Judge's hand was tied as he cannot impose a sentence beyond what the law says.
Our laws are archaic and not in touch with the time we are in.

azeezya2007:
1.4b for only 2 years in jail shame, I thought it be minimum of 25 years in jail

where in my post did you see me blaming the judge?

ChazzyGee:
I don't like this type of crime story and judgement delivery, so quick cos his name is not flying like Dasuki's, Kalu's, Metuh's, and even Saraki's, corrupt system of legal proceedings...
Its a shame....

Brother, you read the passage well so? His case has been lingering since April 2010, abeg how is that so quick?

It says 2years concurrently for each charge for the 77 count charges. Dats 154 years in total.

Buzby007:
It says 2years concurrently for each charge for the 77 count charges. Dats 154 years in total.

The judgement says the defendant would spend the terms "concurrently". Concurrently means he will spend the 2yr sentence of each charge at the same time.
So, the convicted man will only spend 2years in prison.
