The acting spokesman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Tony Orilade, who disclosed this yesterday in a statement issued in Abuja said Jengebe was convicted after the appellate court found him guilty on seven out of the 10 counts for which he was earlier acquitted at the Federal High Court, Gusau, Zamfara State.
In the lead judgment of the court read by Justice Habeeb Abiru, the earlier acquittal of the embattled chairman was set aside, Orilade said. He was consequently sentenced to five years imprisonment on each of four of the counts, and seven years each on the three other counts.
The court ordered that the sentences shall run concurrently.

Good for him, just like Dariye and Nyame too were convicted. Thieves! Nice example set....If the courts starts to jail corrupt public officials like this, it would serve as a deterrent to others. NO TO CORRUPTION
