On Friday, the Supreme Court upheld a criminal breach of trust charged against ex-Plateau Governor, Joshua Dariye.
Dariye had filed the suit praying the apex court to upturn the November 16, 2018 judgment of the Court of Appeal, Abuja.
The Appeal Court convicted him and sentenced him to 10 years in jail, for diverting public funds estimated at N1.162 billion while he was in office.
The Supreme court however upheld the 10-year imprisonment imposed on Dariye upon his conviction on the offence of criminal breach of trust.
The apex court however freed Dariye on the charge that borders on misappropriation of fund, which carries a two-year jail term.
