Tajudeen's journey to prison started on May 16, 2013, following a petition from Skye Bank Nigeria Plc, Jos branch, alleging that Yusuf fraudulently collected the sum of N200 million from the bank's customer, Alhaji Usman Tetengi and issued him with fake deposit certificate.
Tajudeen thereafter diverted the N200m to his personal use while all efforts to recover the funds proved abortive.
The convict was arraigned on 19th November, 2014 and he pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against him.
After over two years of diligent prosecution, Justice Ambrose Alagwa sentenced the convict to six months imprisonment with an option of fine of N100,000:00 ( One Hundred Thousand Naira) on counts two and three. The sentence is to run concurrently.

steal that much and get punished so little. this would encourage other bank managers to attempt it since the penalty is minimal.
One year for 200mil fraud, let's clap for the judge. What an encouragement to to be bankers lurking to commit fraud.

What a joke. Guyman will pay the fine option of N200,000 and walk free with N199,800,000 change to flex with. Is that one justice?
Judiciary is d main problem of this country.So if d fraud is 400m,it will be just 12 months imprisonment.
Judiciary is d problem of this country.Fraud of 200m attract penalty of 6 months jail.kudos to d judge.

What's this. The problem of Nigeria is not corruption, it's the law. We are a lawless nation. Is this judgment even commensurate to the crime at all? Yet they shoot and maim poor kids for stealing food in the market just to survive? Now which is more evil?
At this rate this might be the fastest way to make money in Nigeria now o. I will gladly steal #200M and go to jail for 6months. Infact you dont even need to go to jail, there is the option of 100k fine. Jisos! Only in Nigeria!
And this is how Evans case will be treated. Ndi ala.
