It's a donation in appreciation of the light sentencing.

Or how else do you consider a N3million fine for N25billion naira fraud?

Unrepentant thieves.

Do you blame them? Its the system that allows them to thrive that is to blame. The system that celebrate thieves and make mockery of honest/hard working people!.

We hang petty thieves and appoint great ones to public office...

Alams today is a saint

OBJ today is a navigator of a certain party that want to fight corruption and even insulted our sensibility by saying he don't mind going to jail ( which means he recognize he stole ) but will the change party persecute him after leading them to victory?

Atiku is now a prayer warrior, conducting prayer for the country on Twitter and our incorruptible president elect was a beneficiary of his loot in just concluded election

Tinubu, the great iroko, the king maker himself, even his followers agree he is corrupt but can a leopard change his spot?

Annenih, slow but a talented criminal

FFK, was to be persecuted but shouted GEJ a till 2019 and became free

Ibori, people from the state he looted their resources, still gather to celebrate his birthday yearly.

Nigeria is a joke

Is it morally right for same judiciary to benefit from what she prohibited by/in law?

The system is corrupt, the judges are in the system so what do u expect from them?

Obviously, Nigeria's 'change' does not start with me.

SenseiX:
The Nigerian Judiciary is one of the most corrupt entities in the country, a holistic and comprehensive reform of the judicial system is needed, igbinedion son was given the option of a 6M fine for stealing 25billion

My dear ehn.

I didn't expect much since his father was giving a fellow justice N8m at a book launch, the sentencing justice must have received N24m before the judgement date.

Nigeria suffers..

temitemi1:
This is Nigeria

Buhari will fight kworruption

RobinHez:
Guyz be watchful!
That #8m was not for any f*king donation.
*In Esama's voice*
Take this 8million and release my son or else...

Somebody gets hurt..

That is a clear case of conflict of inerest. The Judge should be made to face a disciplinary panel. thast very unprofessional

An embarrassing scenario for the judiciary played out last‎ Thursday as businessman and father of former Edo State governor, Lucky Igbinedion, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, donated N8 million at the launch of a book in honour of the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta while another judge of the same court sentenced his son, Michael, for offences related to money laundering.

The sentencing was determined by another judge, not the Chief Judge. Still, I wonder if he would actually keep the "donation."

Igbinedion  made the highest donation of N8 million at the book launch.
Igbinedion, dressed in all white apparel, mingled freely with serving and retired judges, including senior lawyers who populated the gathering. He hugged and shook hands with those his lawyer, Richey Tarfa, SAN, introduced to him. He came in a brown limousine, with Esama (his traditional title) printed on its number plate.
When it was time to launch the book titled: “Encyclopedia of civil procedures and practices of superior courts in Nigeria,” put together by a group of Senior Advocates of Nigeria in honour of Justice Auta, Igbinedion spoke glowingly about the honouree, describing him as a “bold and courageous judge.”
Igbinedion’s donation of N8m was followed by the N7m put together by some Senior Advocates of Nigeria, led by Alex Iziyon (SAN).

The old man's an asshole and showoff. He wanted to make sure he gave the most money. Send his (questionable) money back!

While Igbinedion was eulogizing Justice Auta and making donation at his book launch in Abuja, his (Igbinedion’s) son,  Michael , who was convicted by Justice J. Liman of the Federal High Court, Benin the previous day,  was being sentenced in Benin.
Justice Liman had, on April 29 convicted Michael, younger brother to Lucky and Charles Eboigbodin, the former governor’s personal assistant for money laundering related offences.

Michael was convicted “for receiving cash in excess of the stipulated threshold, while Eboigbodin and a firm, PML Nigeria Limited were convicted on “for colluding to conceal the illicit origin of funds as stipulated under Section 14 (1)(b) of the Money Laundering (prohibition) Act.”

The offences, under Section 15 (b) of the Money Laundering Act carries “a fine of not less than N250, 000 or more than N1million or a term of imprisonment of not less than 2 years or to both fine and imprisonment.” The judge deferred sentencing to the following day.

On April 30, Justice Liman sentenced Eboigbodin to two years imprisonment, but gave Igbinedion an option of N1m fine on each of the three counts for which he was convicted.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had accused them of laundering about N25billion from Edo State’s coffers while Lucky was the state governor.

Lucky, who was equally accused of looting the state got a similar treatment in 2008 when, followinga controversial plea bargain with reached with the EFCC under the leadership of Farida Waziri, Justice Abdul Kafarati (then of the Enugu division of the Federal High Court) sentenced him to six months in jail with the option of a N3.5 million fine.

It runs in their family.
