Ex NDDC commissioner sentenced to 3 years in jail for stealing transformers worth N220m

An AkwaIbom State High Court has sentenced Pastor Godwin Moffat (pictured above), a former NDDC Commissioner representing Akwa Ibom State, to three years imprisonment for stealing 56 transformers worth N220, 176, 320 which was  meant for oil producing communities in the state.

In a 56 count charge filed in court by the EFCC, Pastor Moffat was said to have applied for 90 electricity transformers and 4 generators from NDDC for Akwa Ibom State sometime in February, 2006. Approval was given for 70 transformers but he diverted same to his house in Eket on the pretext that there was no space to accommodate the newly issued 70 units of transformers at the NDDC office in Uyo.


He thereafter sent only 14 Units to NDDC office in Uyo while he withheld 56 units which he could not account for till date.

One of the count reads,
“That you Pastor Godwin Moffat Eyo being a former Akwa Ibom State representative on the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) on or about 14thApril, 2006 at Uyo in the Uyo Judicial Division did fraudulently steal a 300 KVA/33/0.415 Transformer Serial No. 1712496 valued at Four Million, Eighteen Thousand, Five Hundred and Sixty  Naira (N4,018,560.00), property of NDDC and thereby committed an offence of stealing contrary to Section 399 and punishable under Section 404 of the Criminal Code Cap. 38, Volume 2, Laws of Akwa Ibom State, 2000”.

A pastor! What a shame! What is meant for the betterment of your people, you stole, is this not more than wizardry? Three years is not even enough punishment. May God continue to fish you evil men one after the other.

The people from the south south should stop deceiving themselves thinking the militants and politicians are canvassing for the good of the region. Everyone is just after their own pocket. How many of the Militants have used money extorted from FG via kidnapping or illegal bunkering to develop the creeks? Instead they just use the "agitation" as an excuse to veil their criminal acts. Worse still is the fact that their people are oblivious to this. The politicians and big wigs are also culpable for the under development in the region, they never use their positions to canvass for the good of the region but for their own selfish interests. I pray my brothers in the south south start agitating against those who they think are agitating for them cos that's the only way they'll get the dividends meant for them. As for this fraudster, you're lucky I'm not the judge, you'd have spent the no of transformers you can't account for in jail term

Are we serious as a country? Nigeria is still a joke! What kind of useless judges do we have in Nigeria? A lady stole 8 million naira, she saw sentenced to 266 years in prison. A useless pastor stole transformers worth of 220 million plus and is sentenced to just 3 years in jail! The same country with the same law. How I wish I can sue the judge himself for his idiotic act. If we continue this way, no other countries will take us serious. I hope the incoming government will do a radical reform to our justice systems. We still have a long way to go. Sentencing this transformer robber pastor to death is not too much. Who knows how many many people would have died of malaria from mosquitoe bites in all the areas he denied of transformers? @ Rhoda oni, you need to get your brain checked. You are the actual imbecile. Zubairu spoke the truth. Truth hurts. I am sure you are on your way to the nearby psychiatric hospital right now.

its quite sad how our Judicial system works, after all these count charges he get ONLY 3 years, whereas the sweet-sensation staff who stole her boss's 8Million Naira got 266 years.

When you look at things like this you ask yourself, Do we have a judicial system? or just a set of men who have lost their consciences and their sense of Justice.
