A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has convicted and sentenced the Director-General of the Peter Obi presidential campaign council, Doyin Okupe to two years imprisonment for breaching the money laundering act.
The judgement was delivered on Monday, December 19 by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, the presiding judge.
The court found Okupe guilty of 26 out of a 59-count charge preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Justice Ojukwu sentenced Okupe to two years inprisonment on each of the counts.
