An Algerian court has sentenced two former prime ministers of the country to long jail terms amid a huge corruption investigation.
Ahmed Ouyahia was sentenced to 15 years in prison and Abdelmalek Sellal to 12 years, the BBC reports.It was the first time since Algeria's independence from France in 1962 that ex-prime ministers were put on trial. The two were allies of long-time President, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who resigned amid mass protests in April.
Ouyahia and Sellal were among 19 defendants tried on charges of money laundering, abuse of office, and granting undue privileges in the vehicle assembly industry.An international arrest warrant has been issued for him amid reports that he is abroad. Defence lawyers boycotted the trial, alleging that the proceedings were"politicised" and aimed at"settling scores", AFP reports.
Nigeria was a massive British mistake. Turkey was refused membership of EU for a reason: Values! Pakistan and India was once a country! If they refuse to break up Nigeria in peace, it will: in pieces. The next war will be in every nook and cranny of the zoo;not just in Biafraland
Can't happen in Nigeria.
Former Presidents/ Heads of State need to start going to jail in Nigeria. That's the only way to make it clear that we as a people have a strong contempt for corruption and thievery.
