The court held that the maximum sentence of 14 years for the counts was excessive especially because the appellant is a first-time offender

Justice Stephen Adah who read the unanimous judgment of the three-man panel also quashed the sentence in count 12.

According to the panel, the lower court which had earlier found Dariye not guilty for the charge should not have sentenced him on the charge.

The court also quashed count 23 because the persecution did not prove beyond reasonable doubt that the former governor diverted the funds of the state to purchase a house in London.

The court, therefore, reduced the sentences to 10 years for each count which is to run concurrently.

First time offender or first time caught?

Utter nonsense.....the judge should be probed. Im sure they will find dollars stuffed in his gown.

Dariye and his people that were boasting that he would be freed on Appeal as the dullard had assured them. If only his name was Ganduje.

Our justice system seff

His lawyers would appeal this reduction again, and he would eventually be set free .......

Fighting corruption indeed........

That’s why we have the appeal.

As I recollect ibori had a similar experience in London

10 or 14 jail na jail.

First time offender or when he was finally nailed?

goood for him

Mtchheew! Sometimes, I doubt if we'll get better in Nigeria.

I know he will still head to supreme court

Someone that was supposed to be given Zamfara treatment. Cut the idiot two hands.

Wicked judge ,am sure the man will still approach supreme court to reduce it to nothing

Is this the Nigeria people expect to be great? Ordinary Nigerian who steals a petty thing on the street is angrily stoned or burnt to death but happy slaves and zombies called Nigerians will hail their oppressors

The judiciary is for the rich.....money for hand, justice delivered.

The black man is cursed.

Tufiakwa!

Buut those who steal chicken are sentenced to death

This our Judicial system self. Not surprise why even the other arms of the govt treats them with contempt.

Nigeria judiciary is the major problem of this country.... Different languages for the same crime....

The poor man has a different law while the rich has their own....

This is not about the presidency or about the legislatures but simple about judicial rascality and corruption

Why?







Is sleeping with a married man or woman a sim?
