The Supreme Court on Friday affirmed the sentence and conviction of the former Governor of Taraba State, Reverend Jolly Nyame.
Nyame was in 2018 convicted by the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and the Court of Appeal, respectively over N1.6 billion fraud charges brought against him by the Federal Government.
In a judgment on Friday, a five-man panel of the Supreme Court partially upheld the judgment of the Court of Appeal but excluded fines imposed on him by the previous courts reasons being that it was outrageous and done without prompting.
