Ex-lg Boss Jailed Six Months For N7m Fraud (Pic) by sharpboyus(m): 1:55am On Nov 14, 2013 |
A Federal High Court in Lokoja, Kogi State, on Wednesday sentenced a former Chairman of Davi Local Government Area, Mr. Enesi Jimoh, to six months in prison without an option of fine. Justice I. E Ekwo convicted the politician after finding him guilty of converting N7m belonging to the council to personal use while in office. The money was meant for the provision of borehole for communities in the council area. Enesi was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, alongside a former Commissioner for Agriculture of the state, Samuel Ojo, in March 31,2010. However, Ojo was discharged by the court after a no-case submission was filed by the defence counsel, H.O Agumbiodun in June 2012. One of the charges against Jimoh read, “That you Enesi Jimoh Suleman, while serving as executive Chairman of Davi Local Government Area, converted N7m, property of Davi Local Government Area, concealing its illicit origin and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 14 of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act 2004 and also punishable under section 14 of same Act.” Source: http://www.punchng.com/metro/ex-lg-boss-jailed-six-months-for-n7m-fraud/ 4 Likes

Well, six months is too small for such offense but he's nevertheless an ex convict the moment he steps out of prison. Even if its three days imprisonment. |

Its Only In Nigeria That the Number of Jail Term is Inversely Proportional to the Amount you Steal. A Poor man Who stole 70 thousand For Example Could Be Sentenced to 1-2yrs. God Help Us. |

only six months! what form of deterrent would this be 4 other politicians. These are people that have the power to make the country develop by judiciously using our resources, but they delight in recklessly squandering our future. They are less concerned that their fellow country men are starving, dying of thirst while crossing the Sahara desert and drowning in the Mediterranean sea. GOD is watching. |
