Justice Served after 11 Years
Former Taraba State Governor (1999-2007), Jolly Nyame, was sentenced to 14 years imprisonment by Justice Adebukola Banjoko of the FCT High Court. He was convicted for diverting N1.64 billion in May 2007 and prosecuted by the EFCC. Justice was eventually served after 11 years! The long trial is not only peculiar to him as there are other high profile politicians whose corruption cases have stalled in the courts.
