My Final Say:
You can't use Hate to drive out Hate, neither can you use Dark to drive out Dark.

Love drives out Hate and Light drives out Dark.
Use those weapons judiciously.

Thanks.

Because he is a Christian. If he is a Muslim, the case will be swept under the carpet. Bushit judgment

N100,000 as fine for count one; one month in prison on count two, with an option of N50,000 as fine; one month in prison on count three, with an option of N20,000 as fine. The prison terms are to run consecutively.

Lol 3 months in Nigerian prison would suck but he's not serving a day. 170k is chump change. The judge is giving this guy slap in wrist. He probably spend 10x this in the election.

He pleaded “guilty” to the charges. Prosecuting counsel, S.E. Okemini, then called a witness, Hillary Obetta for review of facts and to also tender evidence against him admitted as Exhibits 1, 2, 3 and 

They judge probably gave him the slap on wrist since he pleaded guilty. This one few times a politician doesnt waste time doing long drawn out court battle.

Children of hate and anger, only bad news makes you happy. Good news gives you hypertension. Only under Buhari, two former governors who are members of Buhari's party Joshua Dariye and Rev. Jolly Nyame jailed for corruption. Vote buyer too just jailed. Yet, you are still convulsing.
A word of advice for you; go and take care of your bi-polar disorder first, you are seriously suffering from a manic-depressive psychosis. See a psychiatrist ASAP. Those two former governors you foolishly referred to were charged and arraigned to court during the PDP administration. Criminal cases of money laundering don't start and end in 3years, their trials have been going on before Buhari got to power but your depression wouldn't let you comprehend that.

No buyer without a seller. Did you also prosecute the sellers?
I hope it's not a case of the biblical harlot, caught "on the act" brought to Jesus but was made to be stoned to death the Pharisees. But where was the man she had sex with?

The Gombe state zonal office of EFCC on March 28, 2019 secured the conviction of Ishiyaku Garba, Councillor of Bolari East, Gombe, who was arraigned before Justice Sa’ad Moh’d of a State High Court on a three-count charge bordering bribery.

Acting on intelligence report, the EFCC had arrested him at Bolari Polling Unit 0077 in Gombe State during the last concluded Presidential and National Assembly Elections, where he was sighted sharing money.

One of the counts reads: “That you, Ishiyaku Garba and Joel Jagaba (still at large) on or about 23rd of March, 2019 at Bolari, Gombe State on the date slated for Presidential and National Assembly Election at Bolari Polling Unit 0077, Gombe State within the Jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, did agree among yourselves to commit an offence to wit: caused money to be expended for Election Bribery and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 124 (5) of Electoral Act, 2010 (as amended) and punishable under Section 124 (1) (c) of the same Act.”

He pleaded “guilty” to the charges. Prosecuting counsel, S.E. Okemini, then called a witness, Hillary Obetta for review of facts and to also tender evidence against him admitted as Exhibits 1, 2, 3 and 4.


Defence counsel, S.A. Mustapha, however, pleaded for leniency.

The trial judge, thereafter, convicted him on the three counts and sentenced him to one month in prison with an option of N100,000 as fine for count one; one month in prison on count two, with an option of N50,000 as fine; one month in prison on count three, with an option of N20,000 as fine. The prison terms are to run consecutively.

The court further ordered that the sum of N295,000 recovered from him should be forfeited to the Federal Government.
