May be a Twitter screenshot of 2 people, headscarf, magazine and text that says 'Dr Charles Omole @DrCOmole lhave have been observing this case for a while now The Six Months sentence is a punitive option of the Sentencing Guidelines. S.21 of CBN Act states a minimum of Six months in jail or 50k in fine or both. The option of a 50k fine would have been sufficient for a first-time offender who struck a plea bargain. Unless, of course, someone is trying to make an example of him.'.

May be an image of text that says 'Our elders have a saying When a child spills expensive oil in public, the father does not smack her so that people will not say the price of the oil is what is influencing the father. However, weeks later, the child spills water in public; then, the father smacks her for both the water and the oil. This chap must have offended someone powerful before, and they have been looking for an opportunity to nail him. Imposing the higher end of the sentencing guideline is unusual for a first-time offender who has plea-bargained with the prosecution.'.

Did the judge ignore the agreed recommendation to sentence him? Depending on the answers to these questions and other factors, see a solid case at the appeal court for a reduction in the sentence. His lawyers should appeal immediately. major element of the law is proportionality. In my opinion, this sentence is disproportional to the offence of spraying naira notes for a offender. No aggravating factors are stated in this case to warrant a more punitive punishment unless some other agenda'.
