JUST IN: Court Convicts Okupe, LP Campaign DG For Money Laundering
Doyin Okupe, the director-general of the Peter Obi presidential campaign, has been convicted for money laundering by a federal high court sitting in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
Okupe, a former Senior Special Assistant on Media to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, is being accused by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for allegedly breaching the Money Laundering Act.
EFCC had arraigned Okupe in 2019 on a 59-count charge bordering on alleged money laundering and diversion of funds to the tune of N702 million.
He was arraigned before Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, alongside two companies – Value Trust Investment Ltd and Abrahams Telecoms Ltd.
The presiding judge, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, on Monday found Okupe guilty of contravening sections 16(1)&(2) of the Money Laundering Act and accepting cash in excess of the threshold allowed under the Act without going through a financial institution.
