⚖️ BREAKING: Former FCTA Director Garuba Mohammed Duku Sentenced to 24 Years in Prison Over ₦318 Million Fraud! 😱

 


A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has sentenced Garuba Mohammed Duku, a former Director of Finance and Administration with the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), to 24 years in prison over a massive ₦318 million fraud.

The court, presided over by Justice A.O. Ebong, found Duku guilty on six counts of corruption and money laundering linked to funds belonging to the Abuja Metropolitan council

According to the prosecution, Duku — during his tenure between 2012 and 2013 — diverted public funds totaling ₦318 million meant for FCTA operations into private accounts for personal use.

The court heard that the former director used his position to approve illegal payments and conceal financial transactions in violation of Nigeria’s anti-corruption laws.

⚖️Justice Ebong sentenced Duku to four years’ imprisonment on each of the six counts, which will run concurrently — meaning he will serve a total of 24 years in prison.

Alternatively, the court offered him an option to pay fines totaling about ₦1.6 billion to the Federal Government.

The judge noted that public officers entrusted with taxpayers’ money must be held accountable, stressing that corruption within government institutions undermines development and public trust.

The sentencing has stirred reactions across Nigeria, with many praising the court’s decision as a bold step against corruption in the public sector.

On social media, Nigerians expressed mixed feelings — while some commended the ruling, others questioned whether Duku would actually serve his full jail term or simply pay the fine and walk free.
