Pardoned ex-governors, Dariye, Nyame and others have been released from prison.
Glamtush reports thay former Governor of Plateau State, Senator Joshua Dariye, and a former Taraba State Governor, Jolly Nyame, and two others have been released from the Kuje Medium Security Custodial Centre, Abuja.
The former governors who were imprisoned for stealing N1.16bn (Dariye) and N1.6bn (Nyame), are among 159 prisoners pardoned by the Council of State led by President Muhammadu Buhari on April 14. The decision, however, generated outcries.
When contacted, the FCT Spokesperson for the Nigerian Correctional Service, Chukwuedo Humphrey, confirmed their release to our correspondent in a telephone interview.
