Upon arraignment,  the defendant pleaded guilty to the  charge, prompting prosecution counsel, Ibrahim Faisal to pray the court to convict and sentence him accordingly. 

However, defence counsel, Stephen Okoshone pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy as the defendant was a  first -time offender.

The judge also ordered the forfeiture of the convict’s mobile phone and balance of money in his bank account,  recovered during investigation,  to the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Othuke’s journey to the Correctional Centre began, when he was arrested alongside members of his group, following actionable intelligence on their involvement in nefarious activities in Egbiki and Oputo Community, Ovwian, Udu Local Government Area, Delta State. He was prosecuted and convicted. 
 Both Miracle and Gbekena were arraigned on one-count separate charge bordering on unlawful possession of fraudulent documents.
