Nine Internet Fraudsters Bag Jail Terms in Abeokuta

The Ibadan Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has secured the conviction of nine internet fraudsters, before two different judges of the Federal High Court, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

The latest of the convictions, involved Toheeb Abdulrasheed and Chukwuebuka Isaac Dike, who were sentenced by Justice Mohammed Abubakar of the Federal High Court, Abeokuta, Ogun State on Monday, June 8, 2020 for their involvement in internet-related fraud.

Dike, who claimed to be a 100-level Biochemistry student of Federal University of Agriculture, FUNAAB, was sentenced to three months in prison; while Abdulrasheed, a self-acclaimed graduate of Business Administration from Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, MAPOLY, bagged four months.

Their sentences followed the prayer of prosecution counsel, Abdulrasheed Suleiman for their conviction after they pleaded guilty to their respective amended one-count charge.

Aside the prison sentences, the judge also ordered that Abdulrasheed restituted the sum of $600USD (Six Hundred United States Dollars) to his victim,  through the Federal Government of Nigeria, and to also forfeit his iPhone 6 to the Federal Government.

Dike on the other hand,   was ordered to  restitute the sum of $500USD (Five Hundred United States Dollars) to his victim and ceded his Gold iPhone 11 Pro Max and Rose Gold Infinix Hot 5 to the Federal Government.

Back to Tuesday, June 2, 2020, Justice Ibrahim Watilat of the same Federal High Court, Abeokuta convicted and sentenced the trio of Tobiloba Oni, Paul Oluwadamilare Odole and Michael Oluwaseun Jemiseye having found them guilty of the criminal charges preferred against them by the Ibadan Zonal Office of the Commission.

Oni was handed four months imprisonment; Jemiseye got three months with N120,000 option of fine, while Odole got four months with equally N120,000 option of fine.

Apart from forfeiting all items recovered from them to the Federal Government, the convicts were mandated to sign a pact with the EFCC to be of good behaviour and never to be involved in any form of economic and financial crime within or outside the country.

and moreover, to always make themselves available for participation in subsequent anti-corruption campaigns of the Commission.

Justice Watilat in the same vein, convicted three additional others for internet-related crimes.

The convicts: Favour Chinueze Ekeh, Kolade Nwachukwu and Sultan Adeniji Egbede were handed three months imprisonment each with N100,000, N50,000 and N100,000 option of fine, respectively, which must be paid within two days of the sentence or else, the prison term would apply.

Justice Abubarkar  had on Tuesday, June 2, 2020, convicted Rotimi Quadri Akinlolu of involvement in internet fraud.

He was sentenced to six months imprisonment with effect from March 6 when he was arrested. Aside the jail term, he forfeited all items recovered from him to the Federal Government.

Crime doesn't pay

We no fraud doesn't pay but with no work and money to start up a business they Av no choice but make quick money... To many of them, hardship pushed them but nothing like making clean money and having peace of mind.

It's now considered a profession in Nigeria by most people.

hmmmm by their face we shall know them. find out they are all from eastern side.

lol "poor mman wey thief money then go show your face for crime fighter"


We have a failed system, a system that reward thugs with juicy political appointments and wealth is not redistributed at all, guys are just looking for notoriety anyway they can get it

I remembered two years back when G boy snatched my lovely N beautiful Girl just bcs of steady cash splashed on her.



Legit hustle is the best no matter what the circumstances.

Lol


This is amusing.

May GOD help them

Nawah ohh

CaseSensitive:
Crime doesn't pay

you haven't done crime or any sin to survive Mtcheew

EFCC will end up jailing the entire youth of that country because there is no job out there .

Which one is Nwachukwu Kolade?

Name checkers/Tribal warlords go confuse for that one

What of our Yahoo boys in our NASS, PDP, APC, Civil servants?

E don be for dem

Person cannot pick in peace again. Rubbish.

Our leaders when don use Covid-19 cash out, how many them don arrest?

Funny enough this are the set of guys that babes need. If ur not a yahoo boy or Internet fraudster, girls won't even look your way. So tell me what u expect our youths to do. At d end of d day, why guys hustle is because of woman. So pathetic.
