Inspector-General Tafa Balogun Convicted: Jailed For Six Months

Razor,
How i go be him boy.
Some people don thief for Naija wey we no even get kobo from them.
I mean, Tafa own be good thing.

Regarding the Tafa case, I agree 6 months is puny compared with the volume of cash he was alleged to have ripped-off.. I guess the prosecution didn't make a very good case during the trial.. Another perspective is that Tafa's case was a case of embezzlement... I guess he was not directly accused of taking a life or any other capital crime, hence the lack of severity of his sentence.. I hope he's made to forfeit his illegally acquired assets before he comes out of prison..

You seem to be taking this guy's offence with a pinch of salt.
Let me put it into context for you.Tafa Balogun was the "I-G of our country's police force and as such was in charge of the nation's premier security apparatus. His actions defnitely had adverse effects (pages 42/43)   on the police force and that amounts to undermining the nation's security. During his tenure, Nigeria lost some prominent figures, ala Bola Ige, Harry Marshall, to name a few. It was also during his tenure that the Anambra saga began. The Anambra issue ultimately led to the death of AIG Raphael Ige( who was the unfortunate pawn  to be sacrificed). At the same time, we had different organisations going on strike for one reason or another(mainly because of cash-strap), while the man took pleasure in scraping whatever he could.
He deserves nothing less than 40 years in Kirikiri prisons, instead he gets 6 months less 67 days. Just imagine that our country would still have the services of these great men to call on, when needed, if we had a useful police force at the time. Instead, more than 3 years after their assasinations, Nigerians don't even know if the case is still on file. I fear the way we are heading if some Nigerians cannot see that this ruling is indeed an insult on Nigeria and Nigerians, in fact.

Pie1ect, i am not a lawyer, i 've got no clue why the judge arrive at that decision.
What of if we don't CATCH this man.
We all know there's plenty of public officer who steal  in our country?

By the nature of the crime you know this man is a Yoruba man.  Hausa man will open a swiss bank account and keep the money there like abacha and coo

Six months?? He got only six months for all the money he stole. Lil kim lied and she got one year, but a theif, and ass......., a hooligan stole the people's money and he only got six months. When a regular guy steals a piece of bread, they cut his hand. The Nigerian Justice system is a total and complete joke. SIX MONTHS??
