    The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFFC, Lagos Zonal office, has secured the conviction and sentence of Idris Dauda, a fake estate agent, to five years imprisonment for forgery before Justice Sherifat Solebo of the Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos.

Following his arraignment, the defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge and was remanded in the Nigerian Correctional Services, NCS.
However, before the commencement of trial, the convict, through his counsel, approached the Commission with a letter dated September 30, 2019 seeking a plea bargain.
At the resumed hearing on Tuesday, June 23, 2020, the defendant pleaded guilty to the amended five-count charges.
