Akwamkpuruamu:stop jumping into conclusion there is another suit going on to recover the said amount stolen "ICPC lawyer, Olubunmi Ikupolati, however, urged the court to convict Hussaini with restitution of the funds stolen. But Umar opposed, saying such would amount to double jeopardy since his client is facing a civil matter before the FCT High Court." |

DominusPrime: Well, he is also facing a civil case on the same issue and with this conviction, he may likely lose the civil case and pay more. That's the reason given by the judge for not adding a refund of the total loot as one of the sentences. |

Brendaniel: I don't get what you wrote above please. Some people trying to make Obi not to become president, how? Do you mean that someone with 3rd position should be declared winner? Or what exactly are you trying to say as I see no meaning to what you are driving out. In case you forget or doesn't understand how president is been declared winner. Such person must contest for an election, must win a majority valid votes. President elect wasn't given out of Pity , sentiment, tribe affliction and the likes. But majority of the population must voted for someone to become a president elect. Thanks |

Gallaxy55: He has option of fine. 50 million on each count. Two counts x 50million makes it 100 million. For a man accused of fraud of 1.1bn 100 million is nothing. So the man will walk free in latest 2 - 3 months after making payment. He also has to pay 100 million compensation to the victims. So all he owes is 200 million. He actually made profit. 1.1 billion minus 200 million plues an estimated 100 million in legal fees leaves him with roughly 800 million. Of course he might have less than that but he is in profit either way. Hahahaha... 1 Like |

chessguru: Read what you wrote again, this time slowly. You have all the answers in your post yet you are arguing against it. The ICPC prosecution lawyer prayed the court to convict him with restitution of stolen funds, which means he was sentenced and fined because of the fraud he committed. It is that simple. 1 Like 1 Share |

Brendaniel: No, not really As I expect INEC to do a rerun in all southeast as I strongly believe that the election was wildly rigged. Imaging Obi having 98% vote in Enugu state. Can you see that of Anambra State , even Abia and the likes. If obi should be Jesus Christ, he can't have such vote unless it was rigged. Can't you see the video of how they are rigging inside a church in Anambra? I believe if they can cancel all the election in southeast and do a rerun, certainly Obi will be a very distance 3rd as is not possible to win 98% of votes in southeast States. |

Levels2: The point Obi supporters have is that he came first and not third. Only when the votes are examined can you determine who came what position. BVAS will not permit overvoting but swapping of votes. Their argument is that Obi's votes were swapped. And the pictorial evidence is out there. Let the courts decide. Of they rule against Obi then he should go and sleep. |

GreyLaw: If truly Obi supporters believe or ckacl he won the election, then I think they need medical evaluation of reasons and thought. No odds feeling thou but it sounds irritating hearing such words. Election should not be about pity , sentiment, tribe affliction but a statement of fact on who majority of the citizens voted for. |

Levels2: Yes the result in the south-east was rigged, I even pray they do a rerun there because they suppressed and manipulated votes against Peter Obi in the south east, Peter Obi was supposed to score 99.9%, I'm very sure about that... Then they should also do rerun in every part of Nigeria, because a lot was done against Peter Obi but still he won the election clean and clear... A rerun with free and fair conduct will only be a second confirmation... |

chessguru:Thank you, but I did not miss that. I don't think there is any where on our criminal code that absolve a criminal from paying in full because there is a suit in another court of equal jurisdiction. Striking out the case is even better than this ridiculous judgment It is this same court and judge that accused the ICPC of not being serious with the prosecution of the case sometime around 2020, the result is what we are seeing now after they've all connived to rubbish the process. Allowing the accused to go almost without any consequence because of double jeopardy argument is nonsensical, and what is the assurance that the second suit will be different from this one. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Emmastan291: Gallaxy55: donpapa: I find it annoying that you people and Nigerians in general don't know what option of fine means. The man won't spend a day in jail! Here is what the sentence means: The man will easily pay 100m (from the 1.1B he stole) and be released. He'd then also eventually pay 100m to whom he stole the 1.1B from! ONLY IN NIGERIA!! Someone's punishment for stealing 1.1B is to pay 200m! If Nigerians understood sentencing language there'd have been a riot and they'd be forced to stop these DISHONEST sentences! |

You don't understand the statement at all With an option of fine means it's either he pay the 100m or 7 years imprisonment. How much is 100m to someone that stole 1.1 Billion Gallaxy55: |

Emmastan291:I'm even surprised it's not 100k fine for stealing more than a billion Naira. Case against Maina comes to mind. We need an upgrade to our penal codes such that you'll have to pay the amount stolen with interests, including prison sentence, or in some cases, death sentence, if it can be proven your actions has indirectly lead to demise of people. |

chessguru: einsteine: You see how they easily fool the public with pure nonsense. Have you ever seen a case in any other country where a defendant is spared jail time or appropriate punishment based on what another court may rule in the future??!! If they keep succeeding in fooling people like you they'd be able to avoid the public outcry that'd eventually force them to stop sentences that are clearly based on bribery and pay-offs! |

DeOTR: How do you think these SAN's and judges are extremely wealthy? It's from pay-offs from cases like these. Everyone gets paid off and the defendant gets a slap on the wrist. Which is why it's only serious and sustained public outcry that can reform the totally corrupt system! |

GreyLaw:i maintain that The fine has nothing to do with the amount of money stolen , besides there is another suit going on to recover the said amount stolen, being an ex convict alone has destroyed the Lawyers career . The Law has taken its course already. i say this based on my professional knowledge . cheers |

PoliteActivist:I almost ran mad when the judge gave Maina an option to pay a fine of 750k for stealing 20billion. I mean, if he had stolen from an individual, what explanation would the Judge give the victim? He/she should just forgo the money and allow the culprit walk away by only paying 750k? I think the only way we can have a working society is by pushing for judicial reforms, not necessarily pushing for a change of the government at the center. Nigeria can't move forward without some serious reforms, no matter who is the President. We need a working system, not necessarily a good man as the President. 1 Like |
