In 2021, Lawan was convicted and sent to prison for receiving a $500,000 bribe from Femi Otedola, the Chairman of Zenon Petroleum and Gas Ltd.
In a unanimous decision on Friday, a five-member panel affirmed the 2022 judgment of the Court of Appeal, which upheld Lawan’s sentencing to five years for only count three of the three-count charge he faced at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory
In the lead judgment prepared by Justice John Okoro but delivered on Friday by Justice Tijjani Abubakar, the apex court found that Lawan’s appeal was without merit and proceeded to dismiss it.
