Ex-Gov Dariye Asks Supreme Court to Free Him or Reduce His 10-Year Jail Term

Senator Joshua Dariye
A former Plateau State Governor, Senator Joshua Dariye, has asked the Supreme Court to reverse his conviction or reduce the 10-year jail term handed him by the Court of Appeal.
His lawyer, Kanu Agabi (SAN) made the plea yesterday at the hearing of an appeal by Dariye.
Agabi, after adopting his written argument, prayed the court to allow his client’s appeal and set aside Dariye’s conviction and sentence.
The former Attorney General of the Minister of Justice (AGF) argued that Dariye’s conviction was speculative and urged the court to show mercy on him.
Agabi added: “Here is a man sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. 10 years is more than a lifetime for some people. You should show him mercy.”
