yoshikihayashi510@gmail.com and you thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 142(1) of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law, 2017.”

They all pleaded guilty to their charges, when they were read to them,   prompting prosecution counsel, E.K Garba to ask the court to convict and sentence them accordingly.

Justice Bello convicted and sentenced Olobatoke to two years imprisonment or pay a fine of N150,000.00 (One Hundred Fifty Thousand Naira).

Justice Isiaka, on the other hand, convicted and sentenced Thomas to a fine of N150,000.00 (One Hundred Fifty Thousand Naira) for impersonation and obtaining by false pretence.
 
The convicts started their journey to the Correctional Centre when they were arrested in the Malali and Barnawa areas of Kaduna.  Investigations showed that they were involved in internet-related crimes.  They impersonated foreigners and defrauded their victims in the process.
