Our judicial system is stil functioning afterall.
Hope its not just talk that he will serve his punishment

which functioning?

You sure didn't read the article. The guy has an option of N3m to escape jail after laundering N25b

The hapless aide was slammed 20yrs without option.

Only?

which kind yeye judgement be dis oneself SB stole #25b and you are giving him a sentence of yrs with a fine option of #3m?how judicial system needs a total overhaul.

PML Securities Limited, one of the companies allegedly used by the convicts to launder the funds, was ordered to fold up and forfeit all its assets to the federal government.

Why are we paying the money to the federal govt if the money belong to Edo state? This is confusing, anyway
Oshiomhole is next.

Most people don't read the article before posting! "He was given the option of paying a 3 million naira fine!"

After they wuld say its some people from a particular part of the country that under developed them...

Only 6 years? Someone that stole a huge amount of money when used appropriately would have given future to hundreds of youth.
Kai! It is too small for him,dem for give am 50 years to serve as warning to intending and present political criminals.

Didn't you read that He was however given an option N3 million fine.

So if he pays 3m out of the 25b he is free to go . Nice

3 million option shebi? For 25 billion. No wahala.hustling boy will steal chicken and you judges will give the person 14 yrs no fine.Am so happy that everybody will die one day.pray you don't meet such boys in hell Mr judge cos him will add his fire to urs.

A man launders N25 billion, sentenced to 6 years with option of N3 million fine. Hmmmm I beat my chest and declare that nothing like jail for these people. They would rather pay the option of fine and walk free in street and get police protection with the people's money. If it were a common thief that steals a mobile phone, the court will send him to 47 years in jail without option of fine. What a country!!!!

WTF! Man Stole 25billion. Penalty: 6 Years jail term or 3million naira fine. I will trek from Kaduna to Otueke!

no mind the boy abi gal.him no sabi read

Someone stole N25b, was found guilty by the court and the best judgement available was to pay a paltry N3m to avoid imprisonment.

0.12% of amount stolen, Chai!

Stewpid Nigerian journalists dont know the meaning of concurrently.

This is a 2 year Jail term. . . . or option of N3m fine.

Corruption wins again.

The THIEF was even given an option of fine of 3 million

WTF... The Judiciary in Nigeria sha

ginawest:

The N3million fine will be paid before the judgment is finished.

Useless judgement. Why the option of fine? Rubbish..

6yrs for doing away with 25b,dats too lienient for heaven sake,wen will our judiciary system work? dat man deserve life sentence behind bar

this is madness. why 3Million option of fine for stealing/laundering 25billion. To me this is a reward rather than punishment. rubbish.
That means he will just pay 3million naira and will not go to jail!!!!!

All of a sudden the judiciary keeps sentencing criminals acting as politician to jail what baffles me is that the jail term are all running concurrently.

True

ozoigbondu:
Very light sentence don't be suprised if he is out after 3 years

He was even given an option of 3 million

Ohga O! This judicial system itself is full of corrupt liars... The entire system needs a thorough check God bless Nigeria

I jst tire for this nairalanders dem no dey read full story before their nonsense comment. A man charged with laundering of Billions of naira is asked to pay 3million as option. Incredible!

http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/04/30/money-laundering-igbinedion-gets-6-year-jail-term/

Nonsense headline.

The real sentence is a N3m or 2 years in jail.

We all know how it would end.

Only God knows the interest alone one would get from laundering N25bn. Maybe it would be 3m a day going into his pockets.

Even an average Nigerian can pay the fine for him, so there has been no justice.

He has effectively gotten a slap on the wrist and this is another case of impunity to corruption under Jonathan's government.

He stole or laundered 25bn naira and was sentenced 4 6yrs concurrently (dat is 2yrs) or a fine of 3m naira. Naija judges self. This is a light sentence. No wonder politifcians are not scared of looting. We need serious judicial reform.
