over N8 billion for the contract for
airing of the Under-17 World Cup
organised by FIFA. Nigeria was not part
of the contract agreement with FIFA,
yet, this applicant collected the huge
sum from the treasury of this country.
Again, let me say here that Nigeria is
bleeding and it is the duty of everybody,
including judges in court, to ensure that
we fight and put an end to corrupt
tendencies in this country."he said
Dokpesi is facing prosecution by EFCC for allegedly receiving the sum of N2.billion from the office of the National Security Adviser, NSA, for PDP's presidential media campaign.
