‘Bode George, others should return stolen wealth’ – The Nation
October 29, 2009 by Bunmi Awolusi
The National Conscience Party (NCP) governorship candidate in Ogun State in the April 14, 2007 election, Mr. Lanre Banjo, has urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) not to stop at the conviction of former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Chief Bode George and others, for fraud, but to recover the stolen wealth.
George and former Chief Executive of NPA Aminu Dabo, Olusegun Abidoye, Abdullahi Tafida, Zanna Maideribe and Sule Aliyu were on Monday jailed by Justice Olubunmi Oyewole of the Lagos High Court, Ikeja, for two-and-half years each without an option of fine over N85 billion contract scam at the NPA.
They were sentenced two years on each of the seven-count charge of abuse of office and six months each for the 27-count of disobedience to constituted authority.
Banjo advised the commission to return to court to seek the return of the stolen funds or confiscate all the properties of the convicts.
This, he said, would serve as a deterrent to others.
