GeneralDae:

What about narcotic? Read my previous submissions. Stop going round in circles.

Emusan:


I didn't you're the one going in circles.

The forfeiture came from NARCOTIC RELATED OFFENCES.

Prosecutors sometimes structure a plea deal like that.. 'make our jobs easy and we make your life easy..'

Lotanna2:


Is that a disqualifying criteria? What disqualifies him is conviction.see,obi has lost it

GeneralDae:

I don't know what you are arguing. No one ever denied it was about illicit drug business but rather was Tinubu involved in it to warrant a criminal forfeiture plus jail? or he just innocently kept money for his client in America who was involved, which would then amount to only a civil forfeiture of the funds without further Penalties?
The latter scenario was what happened.

Badgers14:


I am not arguing with anyone..
I just stated my opinion... you can state yours as well and we can always agree to disagree..

In real life scenario, prosecutors often offers a plea deal with a suspect.. basically if you make their life easy... they make yours easy as well..

Someone that was picked up as a suspect in a crime depending on the complexity of the case and the corporation of the suspect.. prosecution sometimes offer them a soft landing..

GeneralDae:

But there's no evidence of any plea deal in the court report.

It is only in Nigeria that a criminal drug pusher is made president by demented people

MatrixCircle:
If they was a forfeiture it means he pleaded guilty and went for a plea bargain that involved him forfeiting the $460,000 drug money, in exchange for no sentences in prison. Which was a better deal for the state.

CSTRR:
A man forfeited hundreds of thousands of dollars on drug dealing and money laundering.

And yet you still voted him for president.

It did not occur to you guys that such a person is lacking in character and integrity, instead you rewarded him with the highest office in the land.

Is that how little you people value your future?

Badgers14:


I never said their was.

The purpose of my post was to say that it could be a possibility.

Also plea deal are 'not always' advertised in court documents..

Recall, the court case was over 30 years ago and the guidelines then and now are not always the same.

Novarisammy2:




In Abacha v F.R.N. 2014 6 N.W.L.R. part 1402 Page 43 per Kekere-Ekun JSC and Ariwoola JSC (now CJN), the Supreme Court quoted the definition of Forfeiture in Black’s Law Dictionary 8th & 9th Edition thus: “1. The
divestiture of property without compensation. 2.
The loss of a right, privilege or property because
of a crime, breach of obligation or neglect of duty”. The Apex Court further held that: "Therefore, forfeiture connotes punishment for a crime committed, and it’s effect is instantaneous”.

We know your type.

Is it Pandora that is a Saint or Haliburton/ Intel chief that is clean.

If we put search light for your papa, will he be without blemish.

GeneralDae:

So you just imposed plea deal on the case. If there is no evidence of a plea deal, there's no need to suppose it. Court deals only with facts.
Besides, in a drug crime case, a plea deal doesn't mean you wouldn't serve your prison terms. If you have examples to the contrary, you can post it here.

Novarisammy2:


just a simple yes or no will put this issue to bed

once again read the chief justice definition of forfeiture in Mohamed Abacha vs FRN 2014

Forfeiture of illegal money from drugs is is the same as found guilty of criminal offence. It does not necessarily mean that anyone found guilty of an offence goes to prison.

Lotanna2:


True but it not a conviction unfortunately.assuming it was,it is past 10 years.another dead end for obi

Badgers14:


No conviction 'could' be part of a plea deal..

Plea deal is not just prosecutor slapping an offer on a table and the defense swallowing it.. remember it is called a 'deal'.. in making deals, you give me this and I give you that..

Lotanna2:


According to section 182 of the constitution amended,it has elapsed 10 years.moreover,the judgment was not registered here.besides,forfeiture is never a constitutional disq criteria.what else?

Keep quiet ogbeni and stop feeding ya sef with baselessly foolish Propaganda.

GeneralDae:

Thank you very much. A respectable organisation like Mobil would have terminated Tinubu's employment immediately if he was indicted.

001Lagos:

So the $460,000 forfeited by Tinubu is for what if not drug?
