Doyin Okupe, director-general of the Peter Obi presidential campaign committee, was given a two-year prison term by an Abuja federal high court for violating the money laundering act.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) decided on Monday that Okupe was guilty of 26 of the 59 charges against him.

The presiding judge, Ijeoma Ojukwu, gave Okupe a two-year prison term on each of the counts.

The defendant may also choose to pay a total fine of N13 million, or N500,000, on each count, according to the judge.
