Jolly Nyame, a former governor of Taraba State and clergyman, has been sentenced to a total of 28 years in prison, 14 years of which was for criminal breach of trust.

An outraged Justice Adebukola Banjoko of the Federal High Court, while handing out the sentence, lashed out: “There’s no moral justification for the level of outright theft, and the Court must therefore, impose a statement, hopefully as a deterrent to other public officers, who may be similarly inclined”

The former Taraba state helmsman also bagged two years for criminal misappropriation, seven years for gratification and five years for obtaining money by dishonesty.

He was, however discharged of 12 counts, out of 41.

PDP sycophants?

Is that all your brain has to offer or is there no truth in what I've said?

I'm neither a politician nor I'm I a sympathizer to any political party. All Nigeriabs want is that the "we will fight corruption" promise should stick and not be used for selected past public holders.

Or are the ones in your APC cabinet saints?

Ojú olè ré

This is the face of the.thief

ipob pigs in whose blood scam runs will still come and spit nonsense.. they are never satisfied

the last time I check yrrouba people are the one into yhaoo yhaoo business.

sense is far from u

We have to give kudos to the government on this because this is the first time i will see the former governor send to jail in Nigeria.

He deserves it. I wish other corrupt governors get similar sentences

Jolly Nyame has been used as the scapegoat. Other politicians in the opposition il now run and follow Buhari and the APC to avoid being jailed.

The first person his government would have jailed was Joshua Dariye. His case was already concluded and judgement about to be delivered when he ran into APC and up till today, the matter has been dragging.

Taraba is minority state in Northern Nigeria. Let them jail a Yoruba, Hausa / Fulani or ex Igbo Governor. Then we would no they are trying.

tribalmall:


Do you truly mean you are neither a PDP ur APC member but rather a fool.

So anyone who's is neither a PDP nor APC member is a fool?

You will only reason like this when you have nothing but coconut water in your brain.

I believe a lot was invested in your education, don't let it go to waste.

This is a plus to this government

Thank you, PMB

Jonathan institutionalized corruption, but Buhari is changing the game

As an apolitical Nigerian, I can only ask that the fight is thorough

Some persons have been fingered for corruption

. Babatunde Fashola
. T.A Orji
. Chibuike Amaechi
. Ike Ekweremadu
. Bola Ahmed Tinubu
. Timiprie Sylva
. And everyone whose name has been linked to corrupt practices.

The above-mentioned names have petitions hanging round their necks, they should be investigated and brought to justice if found wanting.

It's either we fix this nation or die like fools

Yeah, any problem with that?

U should have decamp to APC.. And support BUHARI...

1 Oyinlola osun start
2. Gbenga Daniel
3 Amechi

4. Fayemi

5. Fayose

6. Omishore

7. Obanikoro

8 Tinubu

9. Jonathan I mean GEJ
10. Jonathan wife

11. Aregbesola

12. Wike

And if BUHARI fail to let us knw the amount he spent for his health, Jail him too

Get ready for the next appeal... No be naija we dey... This case will reach supreme court.
