A bail application made by convicted former Governor
of Taraba state, Jolly Nyame, has been rejected by a
Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.
The former governor had made the post-
conviction bail application to the court, on the
basis of ill-health; but the application was
rejected by the trial judge, Justice Adebukola
Banjoko, Daily Trust reports.
According to what NAIJ.com gathers that Banjoko ruled that Nyame
had not placed anything before the court to
prove that his health situation could not be
handled by the prisons authority.
Recall that previously reported that a
high court of the Federal Capital Territory
sentenced ex Governor Jolly Nyame to 14 years
in prison without an option of fine.
