    Justice Mojisola Dada of the State High Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos has convicted and sentenced one Lawrence Maduagwu to 10 years imprisonment for $179,000 fraud.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge, thereby leading to his full trial.
In the course of the trial, the prosecution counsel, S.O. Daji, called five witnesses and tendered several exhibits that were admitted in evidence by the court.
The defendant, however, testified for himself and also called two other witnesses.
During the sitting on June 19, 2019, parties adopted their final written addresses respectively.
Delivering her judgement yesterday, September 11, 2019, Justice Dada convicted and sentenced the defendant to seven years imprisonment on count one and three years on count two.
Both sentences are to run concurrently from the date of his remand( February 28, 2018) by the court.
The Judge also ordered that the convict make full restitution of $179,000 (One Hundred and Seventy-nine Thousand Dollars), which the EFCC must employ all legal means to ensure compliance.
