A Nigerian Army Special Court-martial sitting in Abuja, on Tuesday, sentenced the former Group Managing Director, Nigerian Army Properties Limited, Maj. Gen. Umaru Mohammed, to seven years imprisonment.

The court also ordered him to pay back $2,178,900 and N1.65bn to the Army properties and NAPL.

Mohammed was tried on 18 counts bordering on forgery, misappropriation of funds, and conspiracy among others.

Although he pleaded not guilty to all allegations, the court found him guilty of 14 counts.

Honestly

Misappropriation of funds and money embezzlement should be punished with the death penalty 💯

Army frowns at corrupt practices always



Kudos!

I don't understand the kind of porous financial system we run in this country that allows one person to misappropriate over $2m.

Wittyness

He was taking orders from buratai.If he had disobeyed,it would be insubordination.Buratai is the culprit.

When they're doing the looting, committing the crime, they're always hale and hearty, but the moment they're caught and brought to court they become sick. Then you see them brought to court on wheelchairs with cervical collars round their necks. Some with arm bandage...
Useless thieves and economic saboteurs everywhere

Joke apart, do the man actually embezzled the amount of money am seeing here. This country is still a joke.
