 Benin Court Jails 13 Internet Fraudsters


Justice Efe Ikponmwonba of the State High Court, Benin- City, Edo State, on October 24  & 25, 2023 convicted and sentenced 13 (thirteen) internet fraudsters  to different jail terms.


The convicts are: Eboh Chukwuma, Onyeukwu Emmanuel Onyeka, Ebuka Osita Odukwe, Omozuafo Collins, Elect Osayuwu, Omorogbe Christian, Odiete Timothy, Odede Enitome Patrick and  Benjamin Kennedy Ese.


Others are: Ayodele Eugene, Eric Onwusiwekwu, Bolum Ogechukwu, and Courage Sule.


They were jailed after pleading guilty to one- count separate charge  bordering on possession of proceeds of crime  and  unlawful possession of fraudulent documents, upon their arraignment by the Benin Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.


The charge against  Ebuka Osita Odukwe reads : "that you  Ebuka Osita Odukwe  sometimes between 2022 and 2023 within the jurisdiction of this honourable court did take possession of the aggregate sum of N8,908,831.00 knowing that same represent proceeds of your criminal conduct to wit: cybercrime and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 18(1)(a) and punishable under Section 18 (2), Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (Establishment ) Act 2004."


All the defendants pleaded guilty to their respective charges when they were read to them,  prompting  prosecution counsels,  IK Agwai  , Salihu Ahmed , Ibrahim Faisal and A.A. Ibrahim, to pray the court to convict and sentence them  accordingly. However, counsels to the defendants prayed the court to temper justice with mercy as the defendants were first time offenders who had been remorseful.


Justice Ikponmwonba thereafter convicted and sentenced Odukwe, Patrick, Christian , Osayuwa, Collins, Onyeka, Eugene, Onwusiwekwu, Chukwuma, Ogechukwu and  Sule to three years imprisonment each, with an option of fine of N200, 000 (Two Hundred Thousand Naira only).


Ese and Timothy were also sentenced to two years imprisonment or a fine of N200,000. In addition, the judge ruled that : One  black Toyota Camry  2014 model recovered from Ebuka Osita Ndukwe,  HP laptop, mobile phones and money found in their bank accounts, being proceeds and instruments of crime, be  forfeited to the Federal Government through the EFCC and  their  bank accounts  permanently closed.

The judge also ordered the forfeiture of one black washing machine, playstation 4 console, three pairs of shoes, five mobile phones recovered  from the convicts to the government.


The convicts bagged their imprisonment when they were  arrested by operatives of the Commission,  based on actionable intelligence linking them with internet fraud around  Asaba , Delta State. They were prosecuted and convicted.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022.
