A
Federal High Court in Lokoja, Kogi State has sentenced a former member of the
state House of Assembly, Gabriel Daudu to 154 years imprisonment for a 1.4
billion Naira fraud.
Daudu,
who was first arraigned in April 2010, was prosecuted by the EFCC on a 208
count charge bordering on money laundering and misappropriation of public
funds.
Justice
Inyang Ekwo, who presided over the case, found him guilty of 77 counts and
sentenced him accordingly.
In
his ruling, the trial judge, held that the prosecution proved its case beyond
reasonable doubt. He therefore sentenced Mr Daudu to two years on each of the
77 counts, to run concurrently.
Before
the conviction of Daudu, prosecuting counsel, Wahab Shittu, tendered various
exhibits before the court and fielded 13 witnesses to prove the case against
him.
