He was subsequently sentenced to two and a half years in prison but Ijeoma Ojukwu, the presiding judge gave him an option of N500,000 fine on each of the 26 count charges.
This amount totaling N13m was quickly settled by Okupe.

Chai! Nigeria!
ReplyDeleteIS NIGERIA!!! Lawless and corrupt people all over. And they shouting for democracy like is done in US or Europe but didn’t want to follow the rules. I cannot imagine US Congress inviting the Central Bank Governor and he/she decline to honor the invitation! I’m sure that person will not have that job the moment he declined the invitation. But unfortunately all we have as politicians here in Nigeria is a bunch of corrupt losers that govern the country. #SMH
DeleteWonderful
ReplyDeleteBullion van Babariga governor
ReplyDeleteAgbado master
Uncommon minister and ex AK governor
A former ex minister of aviation and now senator
A former OUK governor and now senator
A serving senator involved in organ harvesting
A former 'go and die' governor and party chairman
Etc etc
Have all left the group.. there's nothing like resignation in their dictionary, they'll rather continue to drag the country's reputation in the mud cos they're shameless
That is the noble thing to do. Say no to corruption but I honestly don't know how to describe this government. Kano state governor Ganduje has been caught severally on camera collecting bribe in dollars till date he is yet to be convicted.This set of politicians in Nigeria today do not have the interest of the Masses at heart. They go all out to surpress anyone in opposition.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to IJ PH once again. I tap into this your blessing. Nigeria matter don tire me. Suffer don tire me😥
Have you heard of the immunity claus?

ReplyDeleteIt was the court that gave the option. Would you rather pay fine or go to jail?
