N8m Fraud: Sweet Sensation Female Worker Bags 266 Years Jail Term

It was a bitter lesson for a femal staff member of Sweet Sensation, Oluremi Olayinka as the Ogun State High Court, Abeokuta, presided over by Justice A. A. Akinyemi, sentenced her to 266 years imprisonment for stealing her employer’s N8m.

The Head of Media and Publicity of the Economic and Financial Commission, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said in a statement on Wednesday that the court found Olayinka guilty on all the 34 counts preffered against her.

Her company alerted EFCC  after she made away with N8million handed to her by her employee.

Uwujaren said the presiding judge sentenced Olayinka to seven years on each of the 30 counts and an additional 14 years on four other counts.

According to him, the offences contravened ‘sections 390(6)(7)(8), 467 and 468 respectively of the Criminal Code, Cap 29, Law of Ogun State.’

He said the sentences would run concurrently which means that the convict would spent seven years in prison.

The EFCC spokesman said, Olayinka who was arraigned on May 13, 2014 in response to a petition on the allegations against her, was also ordered by the preciding judge to return the money.

She was said to have admitted stealing the money to the commission’s investigators, but later decided to plead not guilty to the charges against her when she was arraigned.

Uwujaren said that the commission presented four witnesses and 16 exhibits to prove the case against the lady.

Patience Jonathan Summons Emergency Summit so She Can Quit as African First Lady President

President Goodluck Jonathan’s loss in the March 28 presidential election has started taking its toll on his wife, Patience.

Arrangements had been concluded for her to quit her position as the President of the African Ladies Peace Mission, two months before the expiration of her tenure.

The mission comprises of wives of Presidents of all African countries.

She was elected the mission’s President at its seventh summit held in Abuja in July 2012 and her tenure would have expired in July 2015 when a new president would have been elected.

However, she will no longer be the First Lady of Nigeria from May 29 when President Jonathan will hand over power to the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari.

Consequently, Mrs. Jonathan has reportedly summoned an emergency summit of the mission for May 15 for the purpose of electing her successor.

In some circles, it is believed that the move is to prevent the wife of the President-elect Hajiya Aisha Buhari the hosting rights of the African First Ladies Peace Mission (AFLPM) in July, when a new President of the non-governmental organisation would have been elected.

According to reports, Dame Jonathan is particularly interested in holding the summit to oversee the election of the new president of the mission, which comprises of wives of Presidents of all African countries.

She has reportedly sent out an invitation to members of the mission, dated April 6, to seek their presence at the emergency meeting to meet transition exigencies.
