theft. The evidence on record showed that the Defendant and his cohorts
behaved like common thieves with unbridled greed.
This is the First Case of its kind where a Governor is found to have
committed such Impunity. The Court must therefore impose a Sentence that
would hopefully serve as a Deterrent to such other Public Officers, who may
be similarly inclined to deep their Hands into Public Till.
Accordingly, this Court would be failing in its Responsibilities, if it fails to
throw the Book at the Defendant.
Having found the Defendant Guilty as Charged in regard to these Counts of
the Offences under Criminal Breach of Trust, the Court hereby Sentences the
