The Presidential Campaign Council of the Labor Party (PCC) announced that its embattled managing director, Doyin Okupe, had paid a fine of 13 million naira following his conviction by a Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday 19 eacute; December 2022.

Before the party's rally in the state on Tuesday, December 20, 2022, CCP media manager Diran Onifade revealed that because he respects the law, his representatives will promptly comply with court orders. Indeed, Okupe was therefore found guilty on Monday morning by Judge Ijeoma Ojukwu of receiving more than 200 million naira in cash from the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki.

Ainsi, le premier accusé dans le procès intenté par la Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Okupe violated the money laundering law by his actions according to the decision. For his part, the judge considered that “there is no proof that the money went through a financial institution.” He thus declared that the law provides that no individual or organization should receive a sum greater than 5 million naira and 10 million naira respectively without going through a financial institution.
