However, the supreme court struck out the charges which border on misappropriation of funds that carry a two-year jail term.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had charged Dariye to court in 2007, accusing him of diverting N1.126 billion from the Plateau government’s ecological fund.
