The Court of Appeal has held that the May 30 conviction of ex-Taraba State Governor, Reverend Jolly Nyame was justified in view of the gravity of the offence he committed.
The court, in a unanimous judgment of three man panel, reduced his 14 years sentence to 12 years and proceeded to impose fines estimated at about N600 million.
Nyame was convicted and sentenced in a judgment given on May 30 this year by Justice Adebukola Banjoko of the High Court of the FCT, Abuja.
