Application for bail made by convicted former governor of Taraba state, Reverend Jolly Nyame has been rejected by a High Court in Gudu, Abuja.
The trial judge, Justice Adebukola Banjoko, rejected the bail application on the reasons that there was no evidence to show that the prisons authority was not well equipped to manage his health condition.
Nyame, who was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on charges of corruption and was sentenced to 14-years imprisonment, but he had approached the same court with the post-conviction bail application on the basis of ill-health.
