Former INEC Staff, Christian Nwosu Convicted Over Diezani’s Bribe
Christian Nwosu, an ex-Administrative Secretary of the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC), has been sentenced for accepting
bribe allegedly offered by former petroleum minister Diezani
Alison-Madueke, to compromise the 2015 elections.
The Federal High Court in Lagos today convicted Nwosu after he was
found guilty of benefiting from a sum of $115.01 million Alison-Madueke
gave.
Nwosu served in Kwara State. Justice Mohammed Idris found him guilty. “I
find that the prosecution has proved the case beyond reasonable doubt
in the manner required by law. I, therefore, find the first and second
defendants guilty as charged,” the judge said.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) re-arraigned
Nwosu along with Tijani Bashir for accepting gratification from
Alison-Madueke, who has fled to UK.
