FG loses as Supreme Court voids conviction of Orubebe over false asset declaration
The supreme court has upheld the nullification of a judgment that convicted Godsday Orubebe, a former minister of Niger Delta Affairs, over false declaration of assets.
In a unanimous judgment delivered on Friday, a five-member panel of the apex court dismissed the appeal by the federal government seeking to set aside the verdict of the court of appeal.
The appellate court had discharged and acquitted the former minister of the alleged offence.
On October 4, 2016, Danladi Umar, chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), convicted Orubebe for allegedly failing to declare plot 2057, Asokoro, Abuja.
The government filed a one-count charge of false asset declaration against him.
The former minister had told the tribunal that the property was no longer his when he went into public service.
