Justices Hawaa Buhari and R.M Aikawa of the Federal High Court, Kaduna have convicted and sentenced Owoyale Shuaib (a.k.a Mary Lisa Goklool), Oluwafemi Moses Oluwatosin (a.k.a Douglas Chiater) and Wisdom Sambo Sammy (a.k.a Prudent Jameson) to various jail terms for fraud.

The trio were prosecuted by the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on one-count separate charges, bordering on impersonation and cybercrimes.

The charge against Shuaib reads: “That you, Owoyale Shuaib (a.k.a Mary Lisa Goklool), Male, sometime in 2024 in Minna, Niger State, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, fraudulently made use of Mary Lisa Goklool unique identification feature to one R.r.r (a Spanish Citizen) on Facebook chat (an online social media application) and in that assumed character gained advantage to yourself in the total sum of $20 USD (Twenty United States Dollar) from him, which you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 22 (2) (a) (i) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention Etc.) Act, 2015 and punishable under Section 22(2) (b) (iv) of the same Act.”

That of Sammy reads: “That you Wisdom Sambo Sammy (a.k.a Prudent James) (M) Sometime in 2024 at Minna, Niger State within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, fraudulently impersonated one Prudent James, on facebook, (an online social media application) with intent to gain advantage for yourself and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 22 (2) (b) (i) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015 and punishable under Section 22(2) (b) (IV) of the same Act.”

They all pleaded “guilty” to their charges when they were read to them, upon which prosecution counsel M.J Argungu prayed the courts to convict and sentence them accordingly.

Justice Buhari sentenced Shuaib and Oluwatosin to four and two years imprisonment respectively or pay a fine of N500,000.00 (Five Hundred Thousand Naira) each, while Justice Aikawa sentenced Sammy to five years imprisonment or to pay a fine of N 500,000.00 (Five Hundred Thousand Naira).

In addition to their prison terms, they forfeited their phones, being the tools of their crimes to the federal government.

The convicts were arrested in their Minna hideout, following credible intelligence on their fraudulent internet activities.

Internet fraud is not peculiar to Nigeria but if politicians flaunt ill-gotten wealth and officials take bribe at virtually every institution, crimes like internet fraud and drug trafficking will be on the rise.

It gets even worse when you have a known drug lord in charge.

Good

This seems to be your expertise.
The youths are your core mandate.

Quest for money... ill-gotten wealth.

No yahoo boy or politician will step foot in prison

No , they won't go to jail...

They would pay the 500k fine....

Yahoo Boys know this that is why more young people are entering the criminal enterprise.

By the time Nigeria increase the Jail term to 20 years (without the option to pay fine) for internet fraud and impersonation...

Then young people would think twice before they engage in such activities.

You have spoken well but your last paragraph rubbish you as an idiot and a downtrodding nonrntity still a pained loser talking from his anus, ewu.

If you like cry from now till tomorrow 8 years still far hope you survive the pain before 2031.

Internet fraud started and went viral as 419 during IBB regime till date so stop talking like a slowpoke. "When the foundation is rotten the head decays".

However, let me help you a bit about my own brother your so called Saint than Jesus Emperor Hitler Obi. He was a notorious drug trafficker which lead to one of his inlaw went to jail in obodo oyibo and pls let me tell you today Peter Grigory father was murdered in cold blooded manner due to Peter Grigory drug trafficking deal gone wrong go and confirm what I said if it's a lie I will voluntarily quir political discussion on NL. He is like a elder brother to us so we know him well so stop talking nonsense, charcoal calling kettle black bullshit.

Pls stop talking nonsense and stay on course of discussion and stop distracting us. Yahoo is bad and anyone caught in the act should be severely punish not all these N500,000 fine option shit.

EFCC once again shows their strength. Only powerful when they see Yahoo boys and toothless when they see the real enemies of the state. Stupid agency

When last did they jail a corrupt politician? Let me guess 7yrs ago

Despite the huge level of corruption and looting of public funds, no politician has ever been jailed in Nigeria

Paracetamol is still 200 and last I checked it still help is malaria because malaria can cause temporary mental. You are losing it and those around you should rush you to a mental institution before things get out of hand

Get Rich Quick Syndrome has really finished this generation totally.
Youths of nowadays no longer desire to work and struggle to earn a legitimate living, but want to live big without sweating for the wealth.
In many cases, parents contribute greatly to this menace in the society; parents who are so money conscious and materialistic that they don't bother to know the source of their children's unexplainable riches.
To them,as long as the money is coming to cater for domestic needs,no problems.
Some parents even know the dubious money making activities of the children and condone them, even abetting them.

so it's true abokis are not Internet fraudsters,
I was expexting to see names like abubarka, musa or osama

Typical response from an idiot. No common sense, no manners, no life, no ambition, extremely daft, public nuisance, wayward mental instability, slowpoke, empty brain, correct logic standing upside down, a notorious loser with kettle brain, nwa ekuke, ozuor, your name are endless.

When hit with fact they go naked running to the market square to dance naked.

What will happen to the next generation if this one is like this

Is it only young people in the society who are struggling to survive that the EFCC see in this coun! ry. What about the high profile thieves stealing government money on daily basis? Where are the likes of Yahaya Bello?
What a useless set of people
