A breaking news aired by Channels Television on Tuesday night, January 5, showed that Justice Lateefat Okunnu convicted the four for stealing over ₦18 billion from the now defunct bank
The news report show that the court headed by Justice Okunnu, a one- time deputy governor of Lagos state and wife of elder statesman, Chief Femi Okunnu(SAN) sentenced three of the convicts to a four-year jail term after ordering them to repay the 18 Billion Naira.
