That's a crazy sentence, they should just kill the man.
Bello,el rufai,tambuwal,etc that stole more are walking free.
One court for the northerners and another for the southerners.
I'm not supporting theft of public funds but justice must be fair and square.

It's concurrently, so, it's 10 yrs but in real sense, it's 5 yrs. (Counting day night as 2 days).

Over ₦2b for just 5 years in jail.

It is only 10 years jail term as court sentences runs concurrently......
The news doesn't tell us the other side of the judgement because, all financial crimes sentences always comes with alternative options of fine.

Let's wait for the other part of the news.

He was sentenced because he kept all to himself. Just understand how the system works.

2.4billion naira in 2016 is far more than 250 billion in 2025.
Although both yeye Bello and malami deserve at least 500 yrs jail terms each.

He kept all to himself and who did Yeye Bello shared his loot with?

How old is he that he's being sentenced to 490 years?

It'll be like the chained tomb.

THIS IS MY CONCERN. TO SERVE TEN YEARS AFTER THE MONUMENTAL FRAUD. HABA, THIS CAN ENCOURAGE CORRUPTION.
Re: ₦2.4 Billion Fraud: EX-MD, NEXIM Bank, Robert Orya, Jailed 490 Years by Osanoghodua1: 7:16am On Feb 06
That's just an high court judgement, he can still appeal. If all the sentences are ri run concurrently, then he's spending just 5yrs in Jail which is night and day. Each sentencing should have been 50yrs. Lawyers in the house, over to you.

5 year actually, going by prison calendar....unless the sentence would run consecutively which i seriously doubt.

He for join APC, na everything, them go teach this one?

Join APC, buy Tilumbu cap, Da shout renewed hope, Sing on your manhood song.

Organize Renewed Hope rally, mobilize crowd.

Just make sure, Tinubu notice you, pretend like say you get electoral value.

Well, he will only serve for 5 years only, as the sentence are to run concurrently.

Go and ask Yaya Bello he'll educate you on how the system works.

We want to see Malami sentenced like this, before we can agree it fair. They are quick to sentence non-northerners but find it difficult to jail corrupt northerners.
Re: ₦2.4 Billion Fraud: EX-MD, NEXIM Bank, Robert Orya, Jailed 490 Years by RillJ(m): 7:28am On Feb 06
Misleading headline. He will be out in about 5years.
