Ms. Ogbulu Pearl, who distributed Premium Motor Spirit, also known as fuel, as souvenir at a party, has been sentenced to 27 months in prison.


Pearl was convicted by a Lagos Special Offences Mobile Court sitting at Oshodi, on Friday.

The defendant was earlier arraigned on March 14, for the offence of distributing PMS as souvenir during her installation party on March 5.

The Chief Magistrate, Kehinde Ogundare, convicted Pearl to three months imprisonment or an option of N15, 000 fine on the first count.

Ogundare also ordered the Lagos socialite to pay the sum of N1 million on second and third count charges or face two years imprisonment.


Pearl was accused of violating section 251(1), 168 (1), 244 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015 and Section 195 (2)(b) of the Environmental Management Protection Law of Lagos State 2017.

The defendant who had earlier pleaded not guilty, later changed it to guilty.

This one don enter one chance

Very good for them.

Fuel as a souvenir, not minding the risk of fire incidence and deliberately using the hiccup in the fuel situation to mock the country is nothing but a treasonable felony. If you like, start screaming tyrany for that 27 months, no country will allow that dogshit

How many times have we experienced fuel scarcity since inception of this administration that they will start behaving like donkeys?

The Meth cannibals that have been adding fuel to his fire thinking they are praising him can now go appeal on his behalf or declare 27 month sit at home in sympathy.

The people who reported this case sha , I hope they sleep well at night , because they would wake one day to see gifts like petrol cans and matchboxes

For me, I simply see no difference in her choice of souvenir, it can be whatever! Diesel, water, alcohol, food, small bags, money, etcetera, so long it's safely packaged. I'm no lawyer but I feel that such an issue should have no place in criminal law, not unless it poses an imminent threat to the lives and properties of the members of immediate members of her society. I still feel that this court case was however made to siphon money from the defendant as the judgement and sentencing was seemingly done both on sentimental and emotional grounds.


You can can make me see reasons otherwise...
