Okupe, a former Senior Special Assistant on Media to former president Goodluck Jonathan, was convicted for breaching the Money Laundering Act.
In a judgment on Monday, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu found Okupe guilty of contravening sections 16(1)&(2) of the Money Laundering Act, for accepting cash payments without going through the financial institution, in excess of the threshold allowed under the Act.
