The 10-year prison term gave to previous legislative head of Plateau State, Joshua Dariye in the wake of being indicted for criminal misappropriation and criminal break of trust, was on Friday March 12 insisted by the Supreme Court.
Dariye who was sentenced for supposedly plundering N2billion public assets during his time as Plateau State lead representative somewhere in the range of 1999 and 2007, had been chosen as the congressperson addressing Plateau Central in the Nigerian Senate in 2015. He was anyway condemned in June 2018 yet at the same time finished his residency as a representative from prison in June 2019.
A government high court in Abuja had on June 12, 2018 indicted Mr Dariye and initially condemned him to 14 years' detainment on charges of criminal break of trust and two years' prison term for criminal misappropriation.
However, following his allure against the judgment, the Court of Appeal in Abuja on November 16, 2018, drove the 14 years' prison term to 10. The previous lead representative had additionally engaged the Supreme Court.
The five-man board of the Supremecourt headed by Mary Odili on Friday, anyway maintained the ex-lead representative's conviction in regard of criminal break of trust which pulled in the 10-year prison term.
His conviction for criminal misappropriation was subdued, yet it no affected his general number of long stretches of detainment as it pulled in two years' detainment.
