The director-general of the Peter Obi presidential campaign council, Dr Doyin Okupe, has paid N13 million as fine for breaching the Money Laundering Act.

OKUPE was found guilty of 26 out of a 59-count charge preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Earlier on Monday, the presiding judge of an Abuja federal high court, Ijeoma Ojukwu, sentenced Okupe to two years imprisonment with the option to pay N500,000 fine on each of the counts — totalling N13 million.

There was a condition that the fine must be paid before 4:30pm yesterday which he paid.

The former senior special assistant on public affairs to former President Goodluck Jonathan was said to have received cash from the office of the national security adviser (NSA) under Sambo Dasuki.

In an interview with Inspiration FM, Lawyer and Social Commentator, Liborous Oshoma, described the court judgment as justice delivered.
