The Federal High Court in Benin City, the Edo State capital, has convicted Michael Igbinedion, of three and seven count charges respectively.

The younger brother to the former Edo State Governor, Lucky Igbinedion, alongside Mr Eboigbodin were arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on 81 count charge for money laundering, misappropriation of funds, conspiracy and abuse of office.

After almost four hours of reading the judgment, the Presiding Judge, Justice Liman, called for a recess which later became the end of the day’s sitting.

The sentencing of the duo is expected to come up on Thursday, April 30, 2015.
