An erstwhile Director General of NIMASA, Raymond Temisan Omatseye, has just been jailed for 5 years.
A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, and headed by Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia, handed him the jail term today – and following a N1.5 billion scam charge brought against the one-time senatorial aspirant in Delta State by the EFCC.
This was after being found guilty of 24 out of the 27 charges slammed on him.
Omatseye, who obviously will appeal the judgement, may pass for the first high profile individual to be convicted by this administration.
More details soon…
