Senator Joshua Dariye has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for criminal breach of trust, 2 years for misappropriation of public funds.

After a trial that lasted about 8 hours, Justice Adebukola Banjoko sends Dariye to jail and notes that Dariye was in fact richer than his state, and “there should be no compromise to corruption by whatever shade or colour, rich or poor”.
