Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court Abuja has found Dr Doyin Okupe guilty of receiving over 200 million naira cash from former National Security Adviser retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki.

Delivering Judgement, Justice Ojuwku held that the action of Okupe, who is the first defendant in the suit filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), violated the Money Laundering Act.

The court sentenced Okupe, who is the Director-General of the Peter Obi Campaign Organization, to two years imprisonment on count 34 with an option of a fine of 500,000 naira.

The said sum, according to Okupe, was expended on running the office, payment of staff, and image laundering of the former president and his administration.
