Haba!!!!!! This is hilarious. I don't support stealing. It's criminal and must be punished but in this case the judge did not tender justice with mercy!!! This judgement is comical and should be appealed for a lesser sentence!
ReplyDeleteJustice Akinyemi God will punish you and all the likes of you in the judiciary. Yusuf was involved in over 23 billion Naira pension fraud nd was asked to pay N750,000 fine and walk free. Were was this sections of the law? Otedola etc
ReplyDeleteIt says she's going to serve her sentence concurrently so obviously she ain't going to be there for 266yrs
ReplyDeleteEven at that it is too much... you guy where critizing Buhari for sentencing people for 200years and 300years as a dictator, are we in military regime... Please some one should help this women get a fair judgement #bringbackourgirls
DeleteThis is a simple arithmetic, it means that the sentence for one million naira stolen shall be 33 1/2 years. Haba, all those who have stolen our billions should get ready for eternity in kirikiri.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious. Mr. Judge, there's God oooh. God is watching u ooooh. We condemn her criminal attitude but dis judgement is unfair and comical.
ReplyDelete@everyone ......the judgement is to server 7yrs concurrently on 30count charge and 14yrs for the remaining 4count charge making
ReplyDelete7+14=21 yrs jail sentence
and not 7yrs x 30 count charge plus 14 as it appears
God will see her through
This is ridiculous. No one should spend that long in jail for stealing. That sentence should be changed.
ReplyDeleteI think Its 2, 2 and 6yrs concurrently not 266yrs. If so the judge must be a great joker.
