They were jailed on Monday, March 4, 2024 after pleading guilty to one-count separate charges upon being  arraigned by the Ilorin Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Following the pleas of the defendants, prosecuting counsel, Innocent Mbachie reviewed the facts of the cases and tendered as evidence new naira notes recovered from them at the point of arrest. They were all admitted in evidence. He further prayed the court to convict and sentence them accordingly.


Delivering judgment, Justice Anyadike pronounced the defendants guilty and sentenced them to various jail terms. She sentenced Wuraola to two months imprisonment with an option of fine of  N50,000 (Fifty Thousand Naira) only. The court ordered that the sum of N1,020,000 (One Million and Twenty Thousand Naira) only recovered from the convict be forfeited to the Federal Government while the POS machine recovered at the point of arrest be destroyed by the EFCC.
