For breaching the money laundering act, a federal high court in Abuja has handed Doyin Okupe, director-general of the Peter Obi presidential campaign council, two years jail term.
Okupe was found guilty of 26 out of a 59-count charge preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in a judgment delivered on Monday.
The presiding judge, Ijeoma Ojukwu, sentenced Okupe to two years in prison on each of the counts, however, the sentence is to run concurrently.
The judge however, added that the convict is at liberty to pay a N500,000 fine on each of the counts — totalling N13 million.
