Supreme Court has affirmed the judgment of the Court of Appeal, Abuja, which convicted and sentenced former Governor of Plateau State, Senator Joshua Dariye him to 10 years in prison for diverting public funds estimated at N1.162bn while he was the governor.
In a lead judgment read by Justice Helen Ogunwumiju on behalf of the Justice Mary Odili panel, the court held that the Appeal Court was right to have affirmed the judgment of an Abuja High Court which originally sentenced the ex-governor.
