That's good precedence. At least to show that this inept and shameless government can do something.

5yrs is nothing, am sure he has bought his way out 😂🤣 Nigeria is truly a cruise haba, if is in China this happened by now he would have been executed..yes cos if u steal a gwan of public fund is execution straight talk more of..........

5 years only?

5years,too small

5 years for illegal mining of a country's resources. More Chinese will be coming for illegal mining.

They want to transfer him to the new Chinese pRsion opened. From there the Chinese Govt will make sure there citizens don’t suffer till they repatriate them

Little wonder they want their police station and later they will demand for their own court and judges. Awon ole!

When our government have refused it o move their focus from just oil and decided to keep selling Our land to the Chinese… he won’t they do anyhow anything they like to it?

Na China jail em go enter nah.

Just 5yrs,🙆🙆🙆,, hopefully he won't spend a day in there 🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶

Good job. Please go after Nigerian too.

Kudos 👏 to the EFCC.

In China, he will be killed. Not saying he should be killed but 5yrs for illegal mining of the country resources seems too low. If a Nigeria man go to China and do this will he get 5yrs too
