“The preliminary court has sentenced these three defendants to be executed, as well as paying restitution to the plaintiff,” judicial spokesman Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei said in a weekly news conference.

With President Buhari vowing to make the fight against corruption the cornerstone of his administration can there be a Babak Zanjani? Can Nigerian billionaires be said to be innocent of corrupt practices. As we approach the first year anniversary of the Buhari’s administration, how many of such billionaires are said to be behind bars so far? Only time will tell.
