A former Minister of Water Resources, Sarah Ochekpe, has been handed three months jail sentence by a Federal High Court sitting in Jos on Tuesday.
Ochekpe, who served as Minister under former President Goodluck Jonathan, was sentenced alongside a former chairman of the People Democratic Party in Plateau state, Raymond Dabo, and the Plateau State Coordinator of Jonathan Campaign Organization, Leo-Sunday Jitong.
They have been standing trial since 2018 in a case of money laundering and conspiracy brought against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) amounting to over N450 million.
The judgement was finally passed on Tuesday after the court found them guilty of the allegations.
