Common sense should tell you that their charges were filed separately and being handled by different judges and different courts. As such, determination/conclusion of all the cases won't happen same time.


Are what time whee the other cases filed? Was this case the first to be filed?

SmartPolician:
How can someone be accused of stealing 200 million and be asked to pay 13 million? undecided

Meanwhile, PDP and their cronies thoroughly raped our country.

If APC loses this election, all the money stolen under this administration will come to public attention.

Nigeria needs to try another party - Labour Party is the answer.

He wasn't accused of stealing anything

You can go and tell the court that.

Meanwhile, highly placed but indicted northerners starting right from the ATM himself-Col Sambo Dasuki, Former governor Adamu Mauzu(Bauchi state), Barnabas Gemade, and others who long defected to the ruling APC have been cleansed by the coven's witchcraft broom and insulated from the fangs of the government EFCC lapdog.

All the highly placed persons still serving in the Buhari’s regime that were implicated in the Dasuki's arms funds scandal probe have long escaped justice as both the probe panel and its report( released and unreleased) have been disbanded by the hypocritical regime.

However, only the likes of Olisa Metuh, Doyin Okupe etc are being convicted in the trademark Buhari’s govt lopsided anti-corruption war prosecution by the EFCC.
So much a moral baggage for a government.

Do you have to sound bitter and sentimental every time?. Do you how many years Dasuki spent in jail.
You're an irredeemable bigot and only unhappy because your tribe isn't the one oppressing Nigeria

Let's see what Peter Obi and his labour party will do to Okupe. If they're the saints and saviors of Nigeria they claim to be, they should strip Okupe of any position he holds in Labour Party.

According to the report: he didn't use the money for himself rather it was used for campaign and salaries of workers then. So where he was found guilty was,the said money didn't pass through financial institution,and the fine of 13M was because his wife,son and lawyer pleaded for mercy on his behalf.

So you collect 200 million and then pay 13 million as fine?

Or has he been made to forfeit the 200 million?
Or am I missing something here?

The money was actually not outrightly illegal as it was given from the office of NSA for official purpose

but collecting such as cash is against financial act, he will have done 1 or 2 official stuff with the money but of cause he will have gulp majority of it

The use of cash makes the money spent nearly untraceable thereby making it hard for efcc to convict him of stealing,

He is only convicted of collecting huge cash

Politicians are truly the greatest enemy of this country, they keep stealing and gaming the system

Funny enough the NSA person who gave out the huge cash is working free but the receiver is jailed

Nigeria should take any form of financial crime seriously, more than all these nonsense we are seeing,most when it has to do with public funds, our constitution needs to be more stringent and harsh to financial criminals, if not, corruption will end Nigeria one day

Point of correction okupe wasn't convicted for corruption but for receiving more than N5million in cash which supposed to go through the bank and not received in cash which is against the money laundering act and he was fine for that or face a jail term which he has paid.

Well well well

Look what we have here

How can you take 200m and return 13m

Why can't court start ordering them to return it in full plus interest?

When you steal billions and you negotiate, you return millions

This judgement is funny


Someone is sent criminal money which is above the law an individual can receive in his account

You find him guilty then fine him so he can use the illegal money to pay his fine

Funny judgement

Point of correction he did not steal money, he more than N5million in cash and walk with it which supposed to have gone through transfer and do so is against the money laundering act.
He was being convicted for that not because of corruption and that also goes with fine which he paid. it's just like you breaking traffic rule either you pay fine or go to jail for it. Simple as A.B.C.
