Doyin Okupe Won’t Go to Pris*n – Lawyer

This tweet was sent by his attorney.

He asserts that the court provided Okupe with the payment option because Okupe is a victim of the Money Laundering Act. Okupe must pay N500,000 for each count on which he was found to be guilty.

Contrary to f@lse and ill advised news circulating around the social media, our client, Dr. Doyin Okupe was not, and would not be serving jail time of any sort. The Honourable court in its magnanimity, made a order for the option of prison sentence “OR” an option of payment of fine in lieu of pris*n sentence.

Our client has preferred the option of payment of a fine in lieu of pris%n sentence and as it stands, remains a free man with liberty to go about his personal and political engagements.

For the records, our client’s reputation remains untainted, with his only blemish being that he was a victim of circumstance of the provisions of the Money Laundering Act which was construed aggressively against him.

Regardless of the circumstances, our client remains a VICTOR.
