Strong indications emerged at the weekend that Nigeria’s first female chartered accountant, former Minister of Commerce and Tourism and boardroom guru, Chief Bola Kuforiji-Olubi, is currently in a United Kingdom prison where she is serving out a one-month jail term for contempt.
Investigation revealed that Kuforiji-Olubi was convicted on February 18 by Justice Michael Burton of the Commercial Division of the High Court of Justice Queens Branch Division for disobeying the orders of the court.
The former minister, who was ordered to be remanded at Her Majesty Prison Holloway, got herself into jail when she attempted to repeat the levity with which high profile individuals usually treat court orders in Nigeria in London.
Her son, Olutokunbo Afolabi Kuforiji, who is said to be allegedly on the run, was equally sentenced to four months imprisonment, and ordered to be remanded at the Her Majesty Prison Pentonbiville from the day of apprehension.
