Oil thieves jailed for 84 yrs

Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Lagos yesterday convicted seven men to 84 years imprisonment for illegal and unlawful dealing in 1,459 metric tonnes of petrol. The court sentenced each of the convicts to a jail term of 12 years each starting Friday after they were all found guilty of the five count charge preferred against them.
The convicts are; Adedamola Ogungbayi; Olaniran Olabode; Suraju Gasali; Moses Emmanuel; Wilson Bonsi; Okaraodi Uche and Onyeogo Happy. Apart from the jail term, Justice Abang also  ordered the forfeiture of the vessel, ‘MT Good Success’, used by the convicts in stealing the said petroleum product, as well as the recovered petroleum product to the Federal Government.

The judge also ordered the forfeiture of the sums of N66.6m and $975,000 which belonged to the convicts’ company, Hepa Global Energy Limited, domiciled with the First City Monument Bank to the Federal Government.
The convicts, were arraigned alongside their vessel and company on August 28, 2014 on five counts alongside one Padoun Jacob, who was discharged and acquitted by the court. The judge, in setting Jacob free on all the five counts, described him as a desperate job seeker, who became a victim of circumstances.

      My dear u can say that again.. Why not arrest the owner of the company they are busy arresting workers that they know they don't have the resources to fight back.. Useless system.. People like ameachi and co are being recognized as ministers with all the public funds they stole...

    Best judgment I have heard of in ages. This will serve as a deterrent to those who plan to do same. It's obvious the judge did not accept their bribe, because they will always try to bribe the judge..Kudos Judge

      They work for the company, and they were held responsible. And not the owner..that's not fair judgement. Guess the owner has paid the Judge some millions.....corrupt

    That's the problem.the major criminals like the likes of amechi,tinubu,obj,saraki at all are protected and given higher offices re celebrated and protected and d ones that try to hustle their lives are jailed.for the so called change to happen,every1 must be prosecuted according to his crime.
