Olabode George is likely to spend Christmas behind bars after the court of appeal, Lagos division rejected bail ahead of his appeal.

The former Nigeria Port Authority (NPA) chairman along with five others including Aminu Dabo and Olusegun Abidoye, were convicted and sentenced to two-years imprisonment as charged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on offences related to conspiracy, abuse of office and disobedience to lawful order.

All have now been remanded to custody in Kirikiri maximum security prison in Lagos until an appeal date is set.

History

Justice Olubunmi Oyewole of the Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja had, in his judgment delivered on October 26, 2009, found the applicants guilty on 47-count charge of conspiracy, abuse of office and disobedience of lawful order; he sentenced them to jail accordingly.

However, the appellants, in their notices of appeal, are asking the court to allow their appeal and set aside their conviction and sentence on all the counts. They are asking the appellate court for an order admitting them to bail pending the determination of their appeal against the judgment.
