They were jailed after pleading guilty to one- count separate charge, bordering on internet fraud,  brought against them by the EFCC.

 The defendants pleaded guilty to the charges when they were read to them.

In view of their pleas, prosecution counsel,  Isabel Adeniran prayed the court to sentence and convict the defendants accordingly.


Justice Yusuf thereafter convicted and sentenced Olasunkanmi to six months imprisonment without an option of fine. He equally forfeited a Lexus RX350 Sports Utility Vehicle, Iphone 14 promax and a MacBook laptop to the Federal Government.

Similarly, the judge convicted and sentenced Abiodun to six months imprisonment with an option of fine of N50,000 (Fifty Thousand Naira Only).  He also forfeited an iphone 6+ and the sum of N220,000 (Two Hundred and Twenty Thousand Naira Only) to the Federal Government. Additionally, the convict was ordered to restitute the sum of $180 (One Hundred and Eighty Dollars) to his victim.

The convicts began their journey to the Correctional Centre when operatives of the Ilorin Zonal Command of the EFCC arrested them for internet-related offences. 


Specifically, they impersonated foreigners and defrauded them in the process.
