Jolly Nyame Jailed For 14 Years For Fraud by yns4real: 3:48pm On May 30, 2018 |
N1.6 Billion Fraud: Justice Adebunkola Banjoko of FCT High Court Abuja finds former Taraba State Governor, Jolly Nyame guilty of fraudulent approval of about N1.64 Billion. He is sentenced to 14 years imprisonment without an option of fine. According to TheCableng, the federal capital territory high court gave him no option of fine. The court blamed him for financial recklessness and brazen display of executive power without following due process. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had charged Nyame to court for allegedly diverting N1.64 billion while he served as governor of Taraba between 1999 and 2007. Premium Times's Account 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. In the lengthy judgement that lasted over four hours, the judge narrated how several witnesses brought to court by both parties corroborated the allegation of fraud against the defendant. The EFCC presented various witnesses who alluded to the fact that Mr Nyame approved the diversion of various funds amounting to over N345 million to a company, Saman global, within five weeks in 2005, among other allegations. Despite claims by Mr Nyame that he never knew the said company, the court found him guilty of breaching public trust after noting that the ex-governor confirmed approving the memo wherein the order for the transfer of the funds was made. The court held that Mr Nyame is guilty of over half of the charges. According to the judge, Adebukola Bankole, the actions of the perpetrators under the watch of the ex-governor can be likened to the story of Alibaba and the 40 thieves https://www.thecable.ng/breaking-ex-taraba-governor-nyame-sentenced-14-years-prison-fraud 9 Likes 1 Share

Kudos to the judiciary. This is Justice to the people of Taraba. No matter the propaganda against the fight against corruption, it is gradually gaining momentum and corrupt criminals are feeling the heat. If you have stolen government funds in the past, return the loot now or face justice. EFCC is coming for you. 143 Likes 9 Shares |

This man was arrested by EFCC in 2007 o before some people will say it is Baba's doing again. But really our judiciary system is ridiculously slow. This case has been going on for 12 years and the man will still appeal it o. That would take years again and if it doesn't favor him, he'll go Supreme Court. By the time he's found guilty by Dupremem court he probably would have grown old and died 82 Likes 9 Shares |

Convicting one corrupt politician out of so many shows this govt still have a long way despite the huge noise made about fighting kwaruption even though we know it is not the final verdict and will still be appealed. There is a lot of politically exposed criminals including those in this govt out there whom buhari and his propaganda cohorts need to successfully put in jail before they can be taken serious. We need the ball to keep rolling nonstop 3 Likes 2 Shares |

14 years for 1.6 billion fraud? With a clause of an upturn by a higher court. So how much does he need to steal to qualify for a life imprisonment? The judiciary system has always been liver-less. 6 Likes |
