So diezani and hushpuppi are not guilty of crime? They only fortiethed.

Fortiethure is done to avoid jail bt u are charged and guilty of the crime.

like play like play Nigeria is about to be ruled by a druggie like some persons will say.

Forfeiture..

So APC has finally agreed that Tinubu forfeited $460,000 to the US government.
No government, except a rogue government, in the world will ask a person to forfeit N460000 without court prescription for the Forfeiture.

GogetterMD:


You are presenting your argument from both sides of the divide. For the #dasukigate "brotherhood", you said said they were guilty but not convicted, eventually reaching an out of court settlement. The court did not pronounce them guilty before most of the culprits, who you'd refer to as the defendants (Dasuki, Bafarawa, Dokpesi, Metuh etc) reached a plea bargain. A more appropriate analogy would have been the case of Doyin Okupe who was convicted with a 2-year sentence before settling for an option of fine.
For Bola's case, problem is there is no evidence of a criminal conviction or a plea bargain. The forfeiture for the famous 460k is enveloped under a civil case, and not a criminal one

According to the write-up, APC's argument here is that, the American Court was not against Tinubu but the various sums of money lodged in his account ooo.

So those crucifying Tinubu should free him ooo because the guilty person here is his money which American Court has arrested and prosecuted and not his very person who is innocent. In APC's voice ooo

Well if you are a fiduciary, an accountant or investment banker, you might have clients money deposited in your bank account. Do you know for sure where all the money came from? If one of those clients did yahoo and it was later traced to your account, you go forfeit that money and could possibly face further prosecution.

He’s a 3rd class acute dullard for a reason..

Gucciblog:


Me wey no be even Lawyer go carry lighter burn this kind defense brought by APC. Kai.

Well, for those that care to hear what APC said as reason for the forfeiture;

The forfeiture order was made against the bank account of Bola Tinubu and not the person of Bola Tinubu, claims BAT.

With this, all the boys EFCC are arrested in regards bank fraud can now appeal there cases.
Na their account get case no be them 😆 😂

APC'S defense be like

Raskimonojendor:

You are mixing up civil with criminal forfeiture

Larryndelaw:
Did younjust say Embassies of a country in another country is just like a business centre. That's why I said Obidient are just bunch of illiterate. Okay let's assume it's so,why are you people calling the same American Embassies and EU to cone and rescue OBIFOOL.

PulaPower:

But USA didn’t charge him and he was never indicted for any crime..

jaxxy:


nothing civil about drugs and taxes bro.

jaxxy:


what are u saying? He was guilty and forfeited to avoid jail. There was no conviction like okupe because tinubu knowing he stood no chance admited to guilt and was offered a settlement.

okupe didn't admit to guilt bt rather claimed he was innocent bt the court proceeded and found him guilty.

if tinubu didn't accept the Forfeiture settlement he was going to jail as he was clearly guilty.

Raskimonojendor:

it's civil, hence he wasn't arrested. Not to mention no indictment or conviction.

GogetterMD:


Your presumptions are according to the court of Public opinion or the court of law?

jaxxy:


he was because the charge were stated in court and the settlement was done by the court to avoid jail.

The courts have the records of the case.

Raskimonojendor:

it's civil, hence he wasn't arrested. Not to mention no indictment or conviction.

jaxxy:


he was arrested, he was charged, he pleaded for a settlement and the court granted him a forfeiture to avoid serious jail time.

Islie:
….insists he was not convicted of crime

You can't even allow 10k of your money to be forfeited and you'd not be the first to cry out on NL for justice if it genuinely belongs to you. Over 300m naira is huge! You can't forfeit what belongs to you if no punishable offence was committed. Think about it.

Corn247:


What kind of useless question is that, i have a friend who just forfeited a land because he was scammed. To forfeit is not conviction
