John Yusuf, one of the six federal civil servants facing prosecution for allegedly stealing N32.8 billion of police pension fund has gotten a respectable punishment for his offence as the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, sentenced him to six years imprisonment with a fine of N22.9billion.
The court gave the ruling on Wednesday, five years after Yusuf was convicted and sentenced to an aggregate fine of N750, 000 by a Federal Capital Territory High Court presided over by Justice Abubakar Talba, a development which sparked national and international outrage.
Spokesman for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Wilson Uwujaren, revealed this in a statement dated March 21, 2018.
