A federal high court in Abuja has convicted Doyin Okupe, director-general of the Peter Obi presidential campaign, for breaching the money laundering act.

He was arraigned before Ijeoma Ojukwu, the presiding judge, alongside two companies – Value Trust Investment Ltd and Abrahams Telecoms Ltd.
Okupe was said to have received cash from the office of the National Security Adviser while Sambo Dasuki was in office.Delivering judgment on Monday, Ojukwu found Okupe guilty of contravening sections 16& of the Money Laundering Act by accepting cash payments in excess of the threshold allowed under the act without going through a financial institution.
The matter was subsequently stood down until 1:45pm to allow the convict to call witnesses to testify about his character, as enshrined under Section 310 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act .Advertisement
