Supreme Court reschedules hearing of convicted Senator Nwaoboshi’s appeal to February 9

The Supreme Court has pushed forward the hearing in an appeal filed by a convicted lawmaker, Peter Nwaoboshi, to February 9.

Nwaoboshi, who is representing the Delta North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, was sentenced to seven years imprisonment by the Court of Appeal, Lagos, in July last year.

He was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) alongside his two companies – Golden Touch Construction Project Limited and Suiming Electrical Limited – for money laundering to the tune of N322 million in 2014.
