A senior Nigerian lawyer, Joseph Nwobike, who was earlier convicted has been sentenced to one month in prison.
Nwobike was convicted on 12 counts of attempting to pervert justice.
He was sentenced to one month in prison for each of the 12 counts. But because the sentences are to run concurrently, he would spend only one month in prison.
