On Monday evening, Doyin Okupe, Director General of the Peter Obi Campaign Organisation, paid N13 million for a 52-year prison sentence for a N240 million money laundering offence.<\/p>\n

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Okupe was found guilty in 26 of the 59 counts brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).<\/p>\n

The convict would only serve two years in prison thanks to Justice Ojukwu’s order<\/a> that the 26 counts, which carried a 2-year jail sentence each, run concurrently.<\/p>\n

The judge, however, gave an option of N500, 000 in each of the counts, amounting to N13 million, which must be paid before 4:30pm (the close of work) today.<\/p>\n

She ordered that if Okupe failed to meet the option of fine within the time frame, he should be taken to Kuje Correctional Centre to serve his prison term.<\/p>\n

However, a check at the court at about 6pm showed that Okupe, who is the Director General of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate, Mr Peter Obi, had paid the money.<\/p>\n

The wife and son of Okupe had earlier pleaded for leniency after he was convicted.<\/p>\n

Mrs Omolola and Mr Adesunkanmi Okupe, while testifying to the convict\u2019s good character, begged the court to temper justice with mercy.<\/p>\n

Omolola described her husband as a good man.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got married to him on the 1st of May, 1991. My husband is a very good person. He had been a role model to myself and children with sound Christian values.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never found him in any allegation of this before. I will like to appeal to the court for leniency.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband has dedicated his life to serve the nation and he is not here today because he is found guilty of the offence but because of his mistake. I ask the court to consider his health and age which is 70 years. He has run his family effectively my lord,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Also, Adesunkanmi said: \u201cI have known him for 31 years. He is a man of honesty and integrity with great character. I have a privilege of being mentored by him throughout my life time.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had imparted in me high value of perseverance and hard work that greatness comes by following God, unbending faith and diligence. This among many other is what I have learnt about Okupe.\u201d<\/p>\n

He appealed to the court to be lenient.<\/p>\n

Besides, former Governor of old Anambra, Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife, and former National Orientation Agency (NOA), Dr Idi Farouk, had also urged the court to temper justice with mercy in Okupe\u2019s sentencing.<\/p>\n

The judge had, earlier, stood down proceedings for Okupe to exercise his right under Section 310 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) to call witnesses to testify about his character, before the court could proceed to pronounce sentence on the convict.<\/p>\n

The court, presided over by Justice Ojukwu, had convicted Okupe<\/a> for breaching the Money Laundering Act.<\/p>\n

The judge held that Okupe was found guilty of contravening Sections 16(1) and (2) of the Money Laundering Act, for accepting cash payments without going through financial institution, in excess of the threshold allowed under the Act.<\/p>\n

Okupe was said to have received N240 million in cash from the office of the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (retired).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
