Former Minister of Water Resources, Mrs Sarah Ochekpe, has been sentenced to three months in prison by a federal high court in Jos.
Ochekpe was a minister between 2011-2015 during former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.
The court also sentenced a former Deputy Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Raymond Dabo, and Evangelist Leo Sunday Jitung to three months imprisonment.
The judgment was delivered by Justice Musa Kurna on Tuesday.
The three had been standing trial for the past four years on charges bordering on conspiracy and money laundering.
However, the sentence has an option of a fine of N1 million.
