“I commended the Supreme Court for its courage in upholding justice despite lobbying from certain individuals who were hellbent on seeing Sen. Nwaoboshi goes down.

“In setting aside the judgement of the lower appellate court, the Justices of the Supreme Court has reaffirmed the saying that “the Judiciary is truly the last hope of the common man”.

“Congratulations to you my leader and elder brother, Sen. Peter Nwaoboshi. Your victory is a victory for all Delta Northerners”, the statement read.

The Lagos division of the Court of Appeal had earlier convicted and sentenced Sen. Nwaoboshi to seven years imprisonment on the 1st of July 2022 on the two count charge of money laundering and fraud, a judgement the Supreme Court has not only set aside but chided also those who filed the case in the first place.
