Mr Nyame was found guilty of 27 out of 41 counts of alleged diversion of public funds while he served as governor of Taraba State.
He was charged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for allegedly diverting N1.64 billion while he served as governor between 1999 to 2007.
The judge sentenced the defendant to four different terms in prison, after finding him guilty of receiving gratification, obtaining public funds without due consideration, criminal breach of trust and gratification.
The various sentences include a time of prison for two, five, seven and 14 years respectively.
The judge Adebukola Banjoko however noted that the terms are expected to run concurrently, meaning he would serve 14 years in jail unless the conviction is upturned by a higher court.from premium times

ReplyDeleteThis is a good development but let's not celebrate this judgment yet, it could be appealed and upturned by a higher court.
ReplyDeleteFor the first time in the history of this country; an elective politician resigned from his job as a deputy governor.
My country is getting it right gradually.
We are eager for more convictions of politicians.
Disgrace of the highest order.
ReplyDeleteHe refused to join APC. Until the thieves in APC get charged and sent to Jail, this anti kwaroption crusade is wash.
ReplyDeleteWhen you go get your PVC and join in voting this government out then maybe PDP or any other party can balance the equation.
