Ex-govs Dariye, Nyame jailed for misappropriating state funds released from prison

Two former governors who were jailed for misappropriating their states’ resources but later pardoned by President Muhammadu Buhari have been released from prison custody.

Former Governor of Plateau State, Senator Joshua Dariye, a former Taraba State Governor, Jolly Nyame, and others have regained their freedom.

On April 14, 2022, a pardon was granted to both men amongst others by the Council of State, under the leadership of President Buhari.

The decision generated a lot of criticism from many Nigerians.
