His company, Slok Nig Ltd, was also ordered to be forfeited to the Federal government in 228 page judgment delivered by Justice Idris Mohammed on Thursday.
His colleague, Mr Udeogu was also sentenced to 10 years in prison following his roles in the diversion of the said amount from Abia State Purse.
