The Supreme Court has upheld the conviction of Aminu Sule Lamido, son of former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido, over his failure to declare $40,000, dismissing his appeal against the forfeiture of the funds to the Federal Government.
A five-member panel of the apex court, chaired by Justice Inyang Okoro, ruled that the appeal lacked merit and affirmed the lower courts’ judgments.
In a unanimous decision delivered by Justice Adamu Jauro and read by Justice Abubakar Sadiq Umar, the court described the appeal as “doomed to fail” and officially confirmed the forfeiture of the $40,000 to the Federal Government.
