What Will Indicate That A Candidate Has Been Convicted Is A Judgement From A Criminal Court -Onueze Okocha

An order from a criminal court, according to Onueze Okocha [SAN], a former president of the NBA, will show that a candidate has been found guilty of a crime. He made this statement about the PEPT’s ruling that President Bola Tinubu’s forfeiture case was a civil forfeiture rather than a criminal conviction. He continued by saying that to demonstrate guilt in this case, the criminal court would have had to find the accused person guilty of the claimed offense.

He said, “In a legal process, a forfeiture is simply an order given to refund or forfeit some money. A verdict from a criminal court is what will show that a candidate has been found guilty of an offense. The President was allegedly found guilty or indicted, according to numerous rumors. “

He continued, You may only establish so by producing a criminal court judgment that reflects the finding that the defendant was guilty of the charged offense. The Presidential election tribunal distinguished between these two situations, which was not the case. No conviction results from forfeiture in a civil suit.
