The presiding judge of the court, Justice Stephen Adah, gave the ruling on Friday.

He reduced the charges in the counts to 10 years, while the terms with two years are reduced to one year each. The sentences are to run concurrently.

Justice Adah, however, dismissed Dariye’s conviction in two of the 15-counts charges against the ex-governor, who is already serving a jail term at the Kuje Prisons in Abuja.

Recall that the former Governor was in June sentenced to 14 years imprisonment by an FCT High Court over the misappropriation of N2 billion state funds as governor.

Daily Post reports that a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory headed by Justice Adebukola Banjoko yesterday found Nyame guilty of corruption.

Reacting, Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, said Nyame’s sentencing had shown that APC was not a place for criminals.

She commended Justice Adebukola Banjoko for withstanding all forms of pressure and inducements from corrupt lawyers and godfathers, adding that it was a victory for all law abiding citizens of the nation.

Laurette on Facebook wrote, ”For 7 years under the PDP led government, Ex Gov. Jolly Nyame stood at the door steps of justice.

”Then he defected to APC, and in three years, Honourable Justice Adebukola Banjoko, led him to the bowels of Justice, giving the people of Taraba, the justice they deserve. This is a clear signal that the War on corruption is in full swing.

”It’s evidence that our laws can reach everywhere. This is a clear evidence that APC is not a hiding place for those who have questions, criminal questions to answer. The long arm of the law will grab all those who believe that by joining APC, they are washed clean. APC is not a harbour for those running from the law.

”It’s a victory for all law abiding citizens of this nation and hope for all those Wards, Local Government Areas, States, Constituencies and Senatorial Districts where their elected leaders and Representatives have betrayed their trust by going to, and staying in bed with corruption and impunity.

”We must thank this worthy Judge who withstood all forms of pressure and inducements from corrupt Lawyers and Godfathers. Honourable Justice Adebukola Banjoko is a shining example of a Judge in the Criminal Justice system that is slowly but surely, emerging in our nation.

”The days when justice is for sale, are coming to an end. The days when only the poor gets punished for crimes are nearly over.

”Our laws are gradually coming after only those who abuse them. Our nation is on the mend.

”I don’t know about you but I’m mighty glad to be alive to see these beautiful days in our nation.

”I’m also glad that I’m part of the greater Nigeria, making corruption a thing of the past.”
