The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has sentenced a former Executive Director of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Captain Ezekiel Bala Agaba, to seven years in prison for laundering N1.5 billion.
Justice Ibrahim Buba handed down the sentence on Wednesday, after convicting the former NIMASA ED.
