These top-shots in the society have been charged on various counts, their cases are still pending in the various courts and one can only but fear that if their defence does not hold water, then they might be headed to jail in 2016.
Here are five prominent Nigerians who need to have very strong advocates as to ensure that they do not end up in jail this year.
5. Dr Haliru Bello Mohammed
Bello Haliru Mohammed is also named as an accomplice to the alleged theft by Sambo Dasuki.
The Dasukigate arms deal has this former PDP chairman and ex-defence minister in its web.
Haliru Mohammed and his son- Abbah, are to be prosecuted for their alleged participation in diverting funds meant for procuring arms.
According to Premium Times, Abbah Mohammed reportedly received N600 for the ex-NSA in the name of Bam properties.
It would be recalled that Bello was former campaign director to Goodluck Jonathan. He is said to be a man who loves bribes. Premium Times reports that the former minister was once indicted by a German court.
Bello was due in court on Wednesday, December 30, however, the hearing was stalled due to ill-health.
It is pertinent to note that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said the party will disassociate itself from anyone involved in the theft of the $2.1billion arms deal.
President Buhari has said he will stop at nothing to ensure that Nigeria gets back all that has been stolen from the nation’s coffers. The president’s antigraft campaign is still ongoing, with the Judiciary having a key role to play. There are numerous cases still undecided in court, however, Nigerians are eager to know the outcome of the case highlighted.
The stakes are very high and all those linked to the alleged crimes reviewed, can be sure that if they are found guilty, they will be made to pay dearly, as the federal government has vowed to set up a formidable legal team to take on the war against corruption in courts across the country.
