Nigeria ex-MP sentenced to 154 years for corruption

A court in Nigeria has
sentenced a former local MP
to 154 years in jail for
corruption and money
laundering.
Gabriel Daudu, from central
Kogi State, was found guilty
of 77 charges, Nigeria's anti-
corruption body says.
But the judge ruled that the
sentences would run
concurrently, meaning Dauda
will only spend two years in
jail.

The EFCC says Mr Daudu,
who was put on trial in 2010,
was involved in laundering
about $7m (£5m).
Delivering the judgement in
Kogi state capital, Lokoja,
Justice Inyang Ekwo said the
persecution had "proved its
case beyond every
reasonable doubt", the EFCC
said in a statement.
It is not immediately clear
whether Dauda will appeal
against the ruling and
whether any of the stolen
money was recovered.
