I am not surprised. They were probably accommodating the money.

Hhahaahahaahabahah

Ok

Smart guy,bought Camry for 2.5m, used the balance to gamble.........Good thinking, good product.

Hmm

Just 25 million and they are going to prison
What about politicians who steal billions
Were are they...

I'm not saying they should go freely but I don't believe there's anything like justice in this country

So I will not celebrate or congratulate them from catching them because this is just the tip of the iceberg

Obasanjor said he spent 16 billion dollars in our power sector and we still have epileptic power supply, in a country of 180+ million people.

India has unveiled plans to electrify 40 million homes by next year with just 2.5 billion dollars in a country of 1.3 billion people.

What more can I say *drops mic*

"Abayomi told the Court that the first accused, James Oke after withdrawing the sum of N9, 377,000 from the account of his employer, he used part of the money to procure travelling documents and ticket fares to escape to the United States of America, but that he was arrested inside a USA bound aircraft at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos before the plane could take off following a tip off."....Just like a Hollywood movie!

"Sonuga directed that one of the sureties must be a Bank Manager with Sterling Bank and the other must be a Bank Manager with Wema Bank Ple who must also own landed properties in Lagos.".....Which Bank Manager will risk his or her career for these two?

MAKE I FIRST CELEBRATE THE LOVE OF GOD UPON ME AS I BE PLUS ONE.

DASH ME UR LIKES
