Our judicial system is stil functioning afterall.
Hope its not just talk that he will serve his punishment
Dahjhi:
Really? Nah the news we go hear but won't really know when they started serving the jail terms. Hish. Laws nah only for commoners here.

He was given an option of 3 million naira fine. So there's nothing to rejoice over. 3m is just a tiny fraction of 25bn naira undecided

BIG SHAME Steal N25Billion pay N3Million
was the N25Billion recovered, why can't he pay a fine more than or equal to what he stole
thats 0.012% of what he stole
Michael Igbinedion, a younger brother to former governor Lucky Igbinedion, was sentenced to two years imprisonment on each of the three count charges. He was however given an option N3 million fine.

He was even given an option of 3 million

*****spits on judicial system***** angry
Really, really. How can one steal billions and have the option to pay 3million naira in fine. This is very sad. Our judiciary has been compromised as well.

write2obi:
So if he pays 3m out of the 25b he is free to go huh . Nice undecided
Yes nah. Its a good deal. 3m is not up to 0.1% of what he stole. In fact people who pay tithe will find this ridiculous..
Re: Igbinedion Gets 6-year Jail Term Over Money Laundering by Marvinspeed(m): 5:55pm On Apr 30, 2015
You still #25billion, you get jail bail of #3million how many times do u think dat amount will cover for bail. Those of you saying GMB will put people behind bars should look at our constitution and check the amounts given as bail for several offences. You will weep. Change can only come from the Judicial system not from chants.

Re: Igbinedion Gets 6-year Jail Term Over Money Laundering by yomzzy(m): 5:56pm On Apr 30, 2015
That judge is mad. 3 million naira fine for someone that stole 25 billion. He will pay right there after the verdict. Mtecwww

Riversides2003:
Please in cases like this there should not be an option of fine, imagine someone stealing large sums of amount getting an option of 3 million .
Is a joke. Paying less than he stole.
That 3million is less than the interests the stolen money would have accumulated to date.

Better wake ur ur senses to the realities of what is happening and about to happen.

Really? huh

If they actually go to jail, I will trek from Maiduguri to Berlin undecided


They have a right of appeal to the higher courts, so their lawyers will immediately appeal against the decision and then apply for their bail pending appeal, and then proceed to frustrate the Prosecution's case until the right bribe gets into the right hands and the case is either abandoned or the conviction is quashed embarassed

POINT IS.... THOSE THIEVES ARE STILL VERY FAR FROM JAIL cry cry
Lol. Billionaire thieves don't go to jail sha. It happens worldwide

Re: Igbinedion Gets 6-year Jail Term Over Money Laundering by Nobody: 6:21pm On Apr 30, 2015
I have always maintained that no govt can fight corruption successful without a review of current constitution that favors the rich.

6years only for 25bn.



In another news: http://www.punchng.com/news/eatery-worker-jailed-266-years-for-stealing-n8m/

Eatery worker jailed 266 years for stealing 8m. If only she had money to buy plenty SANs to defend her.

Buhari will fight corruption indeed

3million naira fine option for a N25billion money-laundering 6-year jail term...
Little wonder corruption thrives in the land...

[color=Blue] Money Laundering, if you steal N25 Billion Naira just 2 or 3 Years Jail term and an option of N3 Million fine, very simple pay the fine and go home and enjoy your money
But steal N10,000 - 15yrs jail term with no option of fine. Nigeria judicial system shall.
@Topic I thought it was Lucky Igbinedion [/color]
Re: Igbinedion Gets 6-year Jail Term Over Money Laundering by gfullmoon(m): 6:25pm On Apr 30, 2015
