Money laundering: Court judgement political, says Nwaoboshi

 

https://punchng.com/money-laundering-court-judgement-political-says-nwaoboshi/

 

The Chairman, Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs and the lawmaker representing Delta North, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, has reinstated his decision to challenge the Court of Appeal’s ruling that sentenced him to prison at the Supreme Court.

 

The Court of Appeal in Lagos on Friday convicted and sentenced the senator to seven years imprisonment.

 

The court also ordered that the senator’s two companies, Golden Touch Construction Project Ltd and Suiming Electrical Ltd, be wound up in line with the provisions of Section 22 of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act 2021.

 

The Media Unit of the senator, however, issued a statement that the judgment would be challenged at the Supreme Court in no distant time.

 

A source close to the senator, however, told Sunday PUNCH that there was no issue of money laundering anywhere, rather the court judgement had political backing from some competitors of the senator.

 

The source said that Nwaoboshi had no connection with money laundering, adding that he only borrowed money from Nexim Bank to do business and returned the money within the ample time of agreement between him and the bank.

 

The source said, “A company, which he had an interest in, took N1.2b loan from Nexim Bank which he had paid back. He paid N1.8b, including the interest back to the bank. Nexim Bank came to the court and testified that ‘see, this is our best customer. He has fulfilled all obligations’.

 

Now, what they are arguing is that once you have a loan and you fulfill all your obligations, does it now mean that the company involved and the directors cannot diversify, and invest in assets?”
