MR. JOHN YAKUBU YUSUF (A FORMER DEPUTY DIRECTOR IN THE POLICE PENSION OFFICE) WHO STOLE 32. 8 BILLION NAIRA POLICE PENSION MONEY WAS SENTENCED TO ONLY 6 YEARS IN JAIL WHILE ADVOCATES OF HATE SPEECH BILL IN THE NIGERIAN SENATE WANT DEATH SENTENCE PASSED ON OFFENDERS.

This is very unfortunate and sad that a man named Mr John Yakubu Yusuf (a former deputy director in the police pension office) who stole 32. 8 billion Naira belonging to the police pension fund was sentenced to only 6 years in jail by the court of appeal in Abuja (Nigeria) and was also asked to return some amount of money to the federal government of Nigeria as part of the deal. But in the Nigerian senate, some senators want death sentence passed on hate speech offenders which if approved would be the worst law ever made in the history of democracy in Nigeria. Now if a man who stole 32. 8 billion Naira of pensioners money can get only 6 years jail term, why then would some senators in Nigeria who probably have no knowledge of what democracy is all about want death sentence passed on hate speech offenders? Sincerely this does not make any sense because that individual who stole such huge sum of money has indirectly terminated the lives of the owners of that money which was stolen. Such man deserve life jail for ruining the lives of the pensioners. However, the decision of the appeal court has to be respected but again one good thing about the sentencing of Mr John Yusuf who stole 32.8 billion Naira is that a verdict has been passed but if it were under Peoples Democratic party (PDP) of Nigeria, this man (Mr John Yakubu Yusuf) would have been celebrated like a rock star for looting the treasury of the country (Nigeria) but under president Buhari’s administration, the issue is different. Treasury looters like Mr John Yusuf and others shall face the law for ruining Nigeria. These treasury looters in Nigeria have no conscience and do not care about the welfare of other Nigerians which is bad.
