The Court of Appeal in Lagos had, in a judgment on July 1, 2022, convicted and sentenced Nwaoboshi on the charge brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Ruling on Friday, a five-member panel of the Supreme Court, while dismissing the application, noted that Nwaoboshi’s conduct was a slap on the face of democracy and rule of law. He added that despite the fact that Nwaoboshi has an appeal pending before the court, his application could not be granted because of the undisputed fact that he is in Nigeria, but has continued to devise means to frustrate the subsisting custodial sentence imposed on him by the Court of Appeal.
In his contribution, Justice Tijani Abubakar wondered why a lawmaker of the status of a senator would find it difficult to obey the law he participated in enacting.
