Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by Armadda(m): 2:34pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
October 26, 2009 01:25PMT The former Nigeria Port Authority (NPA) board chairman and a chieftain of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has been convicted by Justice Olubunmi Oyewole of the Lagos High Court. He is sentenced to two years for a 35-count charge that is to run concurrently. The former South West deputy chairman of the PDP was charged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in 2008 for contract inflation to the tune of N84 billion with four other board members, during his tenure as the chairman of the NPA board between 2000 and 2003. http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/News/National/5474123-147/story.csp

This judgment may even encourage people to embezzle funds o. If all you get for embezzling N84 billion is a paltry 2 years imprisonment, then why not embezzle? He may even get someone to serve the term for him. |

Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by Nobody: 2:51pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
and what happens to life imprisonment & death penalty? |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by back2back(f): 2:52pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
Obasanjo had criminal record. Gani had criminal record. So not new to that. Where is the link to this story! I suspect he will go for 6months and get paddoned by Yaradul. He would have washed himself clean since you cant be tried twice for same offence. He would be free to contest as Governor of Lagos in 2016! |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by Witi(m): 3:11pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
He should request for witness protection in the Caribbean so that he can testify against better thieves like Obasanjo, Atiku, and co. |

jay bee: Abegi criminal record? Alam, Ibori get confirmed criminal record he still became governor I dount the police have a record, everyone filing for a police report in nigeria gets a clean bill of health so what happens to the money |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by proudly9ja(m): 3:59pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
Abeg until I see the full details. I am sure the court will say the 2 and a half years started 2 and a half years ago when the case started and so the guy won't even spend one day in Jail. What they should do is to make him refund the 84billion! If he has been found guilty, why should he keep the money? Sell his assets and recover the money! |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by rawe45: 3:59pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
The penalty is too short for his kind and d offence he committed, why not just make it 10yrs , so that If/when he appeals: it wld be reduced to 5 or 6. Anyway, Nice courage from the Judge |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by koolchicco: 4:07pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
2 (Two) Years, ONLY? |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by jaybee3(m): 4:10pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
Dis Guy:Ibori criminal record in Nigeria? Alams yes and can he contest for another political post in naija? Probably no |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by MrCrackles(m): 4:14pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
Bode George should be locked up and very far from naira, dollars, pounds or any other type of legal monetary tender till he dies! |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by jaybee3(m): 4:16pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
^^ wats good north london's finest? BG is already on his way to 10 feet under. That 2yrs is already an accelerated death sentence |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by jamace(m): 4:19pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
Just 2 years for stealing N84b? There is no correlation between the loot and the punishment at all. Anyway, we have taken a baby step towards dealing with our thieving leaders. More convictions, please. Many crooks are still walking free, shoulder high in our streets. |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by mekuslogan: 4:28pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
I hope all the stolen monies are recovered And, importantly, I hope he dies in jail like Sunday Afolabi. So he wont have the opportunity to loot again. Thieves. |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by SeanT21(f): 4:41pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
I read it was 28 years on onlinenigeria.com. |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by Nobody: 4:42pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
why is anybody upset? am sure the same people grumbling are the same who are calling for sanusi's -shoot those banker mofos - head |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by ProAnti: 4:46pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
Sentenced for 2 years on different counts. The sentences will run concurrently. I guess this was the same style used in freeing Alams. The next thing they will say is that he has been in custody for 22 months so he can go home in two months. |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by MrCrackles(m): 5:21pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
jay bee:Yes boss, am all rosy. . . .how is you? I hope the dude pegs in jail. . . .His sins are so grave he deserves an heavier sentence! |

MrCrackles:I'm chilling bro, you know how we do (work work and more work). |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by bawomolo(m): 5:53pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
Aloy~Emeka: amen amen what about the loot, the EFCC should confiscate all his property just like the FEDS did maddoff. All his property up until the agbada and boxers he is wearing should be sold in an auction. I hope his supporters club go to jail with him. |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by POSAKOSA1(m): 5:55pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
I said hopefully, he won't APPEAL AWAY. |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by Nobody: 5:57pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
Hmmm NAIJA!! N84bn - they'll probably let him build his own jail house. |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by Lagosboy: 5:58pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
2 yrs for 85 billion naira. This sentence will only make sense if all his damn assts home and abroad are frozen. Otherwise others wouldnt mind going to jail for 1 yr (parole) and come out to enjoy their loot.This kind of thinking will make convictiona mere occupational hazard in the occupation of looting public money. |
Re: Bode George Is Sentenced To 2 Years! Not Enough! by snapshot: 6:00pm On Oct 26, 2009 |
