Appeal Court Reduces Jolly Nyame’s 14 Years Jail Term to 12 Years, N525m Fine Imposed On Him

The Court of Appeal Abuja Division, on Friday, reduced the sentence of 14 years imprisonment imposed on a former Governor of Taraba State, Jolly Nyame, earlier this year, to 12 years.

In its judgment, the court in addition to the 12 years sentence, also imposed a fine of total sum of N525m on the convict, a fine that the lower court had omitted while dispensing the earlier sentence.

The Federal Capital Territory High Court had sentenced the former Taraba governor to 14 years in prison without an option of fine.
