This is wack how many years will they give shekau for only 8m naira all those year Diezani and her family must serve more than that each then

Thank God is jona regime ...... Those people we be saying is buhari that sent some 1 to jail of 300year

The Minister of Petroleum Resources Mrs.
Diezani Alison-Madueke, on Wednesday
disclosed that the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation has started refunding the $1.48bn
unremitted fund into the Federation Account
as recommended by an audit firm,
PriceWaterHouse Coopers.
She however did not disclose how much has
for far been refunded by the corporation.
She also denied reports that she was seeking
the assistance of some highly-placed persons
in order to escape prosecution for alleged
corruption from the incoming administration
of the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari.
Alison-Madueke spoke with State House
correspondents at the end of the weekly
meeting of Federal Executive Council at the
Presidential Villa, Abuja.
It will be recalled the Federation Account
Allocation Committee had on Monday night
constituted a committee to find out the
reasons for the delay in the refund of the sum.
PriceWaterHouse Coopers had in the report of
its forensic audit report of the corporation
recommended that the NNPC should refund
the amount to the Federation Account.
Alison-Madueke however explained that the
unremitted fund was owed by the NPDC for a
block that had been assigned from the NNPC
to the NPDC.
She said, “The PriceWaterHouse Coopers
forensic audit that was done few weeks ago in
his recommendation mentioned that $1.48bn
was owed by the NPDC for a block that had
hitherto been assigned from the NNPC to the
NPDC which is its subsidiary.
“They felt that the right process would be that
the NPDC will refund that money to the
Federation Account. The NPDC has apparently
started those refunds and it is also in
discussion with the NNPC and the DPR on
same. So the refund has actually began.”
While saying that the payment was being done
under her directive, she insisted that the sum
was not missing but transferred by the NNPC
to the NPDC.
The minister also denied media reports that
she was reaching out to some prominent
Nigerians, including a former military Head of
State, Gen. Abdusalami Abubakar (retd.), to
seek soft landing from the incoming
government.
She said she had in the course of her job as
minister met with elder statesmen across the
country and wondered why her meeting with
Abubakar would be singled out.
The minister said she could not be seeking for
a soft landing because she was not aware that
she had committed any crime.
She said, “I have not sought such assistance
because I am not aware that I have been
indicted of any crime that I will need a soft
landing.
“Over the last four years, I have many times
been unfortunately accused and libelled in so
many malicious and vindictive ways.
“I have explained these things and pushed back
robustly on these accusations and I have even
gone to court on many of them. Yet, they keep
being regurgitated.”

She's only going to serve 14years. Her sentence runs cocurent , she will serve the hight sentence which is 14years. 14years is much for 8milion. Even Yankee will only Give like 6months for that kind of money.

If she appeals with a good lawyer, and returns some, or all of the loot, she can be walking free in 3 years or less.

OTOH, how did Bode George, Tafa Balogun (6months), Ibru(6months in executive hospital), and co. not get 2, 266,000 years?

babe, keep 4 million, use 4 million for police n lawyers, d case go suffer adjounments till u grow white hair. Dats how we roll baby!

Can such sentence be meted out to our thieving politicians??...abeg make them release the woman abeg joor...

Godisnear:
Baba never enter Aso Rock, jail term don enter UNLIMITED. Lol

It seems the judges are already embracing the much needed CHANGE in their jail term sentencing.

Diariss God ooo

The judges have switched to the change mode . I wonder if Deziani Allison Madueke will escape with only 500 years.

If I were in her shoes, I will never refund that money, I shall rather go to that eternal jail, and keep the money for those that will use it juduciousl on my behalf. Poor man get hope for this judiciary so ??

USELESS NIGERIA LAWYERS
SENTENCING #8m CASE FOR 266YRS.WHILE GIVING A FINE 750k FOR A CASE OF OVER #2b

Shame on d judiciary

Yoruba things I pity the lady o

journalism in nigeria has gone to the dogs.

she will only serve 14 years as her sentence runs concurrently. it's only if the sentence runs consecutively that she will be serving 266 years.

even for stealing only N8m, the 14-year sentence was too harsh. she didn't commit a violent crime, she just stole money from her employer. at worst, she should be getting a community service.

her lawyers must be very stupïd!

temitemi1:
8million=266 years . Abeg how many years tinubu surpose to spend for jail

maybe eternity........

She was sentenced to 14 years and not 266 years..

MikkyT1:

265 yrs in prison 4 a mere 8million Naira?haba wen those stealing the real money running into billions of Naira are still walking freely? what a country .A life sentence would have been beta because she cnt possibly be alive 4 an additional 265 yrs,unless they plan to still imprison her corpse when she eventually dies inorder to meet up to her sentence.

Rubbish,that judge is a thief too. All this politicians that steals tax payers money nko?

But what kind of judgement is this So what about those who stole billions and still parading themselves as Saint all around Though I'm not in support of stealing but that judgement is too extreme.

Then how many years for Gbenga Daniel, OBJ, IBB, Tinubu, Amaechi etc?

Tamara! 8million naira 200yrs plus. That means Tinibu and Co. Will receive 80 trillion years if justice to to be served according to amount stolen ...

Shame on d judiciary

One of the reasons am thanking God am on my way out of this kalakuta land. Its disheartening.
She shld jst appeal.
Shey na treasonable felony she commit?
14yrs for a first time offender with proof of previous upright disposition?
Who's d judge?
He shld be hanged!!

doctokwus:
All crime are condemnable but isn't it curious that d efcc can so quickly get a conviction in this lady's case but had not been able to convict a single politician since this lamorde mounted d saddle?
Hope lamorde has prepared his handover notes because his dismissal is as clear as tomorrow being a Thursday

I get ur point, but it isn't as simple as you put it. She didn't steal so much as to be able to employ d services of multiple SANs that would effectively delay or thwart d justice system.

bright007:
ignores the scumbag

shoro niyen!

prettydiva89:

What a pity?

The sentences are to run concurrently. She got less than 14yrs to spend behind bars.If she is of good behaviour while in prison she spends a maximum of 7yrs.

grandlexuz:
She was sentenced to 14 years and not 266 years..

Its is even 7years Considering the DAY and NIGHT Rules.
