The Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, has on Tuesday, October 4, found a Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe, guilty of false declaration of assets.
Chairman of the Tribunal, Danladi Umar, delivered the judgment convicting Orubebe of the offence.
“I hereby seize, on behalf of the Federal Government, the property known as plot 2057,” he ruled.
He added: “The prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt, and all evidence tendered are admitted.”
He held that Orubebe committed an offence, for not declaring a piece of property in Abuja, which he claimed he had sold.
Recall, that the Federal Government had filed a one-count charge of false declaration of asset against Orubebe.
Speaking with Journalists at the end of the proceedings, Larry Izimoje, Orubebe’s Lawyer, described the judgment as a travesty of justice.
“This is beyond travesty of justice. I can say that this is a case of whether you like it or not, I must convict you,” he said.“That’s what played out today. Thank goodness, this is not where it ends. The court of appeal is there, so we will definitely appeal against it.”
