A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has convicted Doyin Okupe, the Director-General of the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign of money laundering.

In 2019, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned Okupe on a 59-count charge bordering on alleged money laundering and diversion of funds to the tune of N702 million.

He was said to have received the money from the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) while Sambo Dasuki was in office.

Okupe was arraigned before Ijeoma Ojukwu, the presiding judge, alongside two companies — Value Trust Investment Ltd and Abrahams Telecoms Ltd.

Delivering judgement on the matter on Monday, December 19, 2022, the judge found Okupe guilty of contravening sections 16(1) &(2) of the Money Laundering Act.
