Recall that a High Court in Abuja had sentenced Okupe to two years imprisonment for breaching the money laundering act.<\/p>\n

She said it was an honest mistake; that was the judge, not the lawyer of the defence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThus, in such circumstances, it is not a good thing. He deserves a better exit than that,\u201d Osuntokun said.<\/p>\n
