Plea bargaining. They advised him to plead guilty in exchange for a lighter sentence. This is the shortcut Efcc uses to nail Yahoo boys who are stupid enough not to get a lawyer.

The only legit job in Nigeria is politics (freedom of stealing, killing and misbehaving)

Any other form of stealing, killing or misbehaving is a punishable offense
