Justice U. N Agumoh of the Federal High Court, sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has convicted and sentenced one Chief Felix Amadi to seven years imprisonment on a one-count charge bordering on obtaining money under false pretence brought against him by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The convict was first arraigned on March 31, 2014 and he pleaded not guilty to the one- count charge pressed against him and the matter went into full trial. He was specifically tried for offering a plot of land for sale without granting the buyer possession of the land. He sold the landed property for a sum of N17, 600,000.00 (Seventeen Million, Six Hundred Thousand Naira only).

Although in the course of his trial, he restituted the entire sum to the buyer of the land, nonetheless, Justice Agumoh still found him guilty of the charge preferred against him. He convicted and sentenced him to seven years imprisonment without an option of fine.

The Judge ordered the release of exhibit 22 (A brand new Nissan salon car) to the convict. The car was confiscated from him in the course of investigation.

Messi's fifth-place finish is his worst since 2006 and it comes despite leading Barcelona to La Liga and Copa del Rey titles. The midfielder adds the award to his list of others accolades received this year, including UEFA Best Player, FIFA Best Men's Player and the Golden Ball at the World Cup. Modric helped Real Madrid win its third straight Champions League title earlier this year before taking Croatia to its first World Cup appearance. Croatia's captain scored two goals, had one assist and led the tournament in minutes played and mile
