Supreme Court Upholds Five-Year Sentence of Former Lawmaker Farouk Lawan

This upholds the February 24, 2022 judgment of the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which sentenced him to a five-year jail term discharging him on two of the three counts bordering on corruption. 

The five-year sentence by the Appellate Court is variation of the seven-year sentence handed down by the trial court.
