Appeal Court Reduces Dariye’s Sentence To 10 Years by chuka85(op): 11:58am On Nov 16, 2018
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.

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.

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
