The Kaduna Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has secured the conviction and sentence of four internet fraudsters before Justices A.A Bello and A.A. Isiaka of the state high courts and R.M Aikawa of the federal high court in the state.


The convicts are, Stephen Destiny Osaro, Yakubu Suleiman, Salisu Abubakar and Mohammed Alamin Isah.

charge of impersonation and were convicted and sentenced by Justice Bello, the others, Abubakar and Isah were prosecuted on separate one-count charges of cheating and impersonation, respectively and were convicted and sentenced by Justices Isiaka and R.M Aikawa.


The charge against Osaro reads: “That you Stephen Destiny Osaro (a.k.a Layla Evans), male, sometimes in March, 2024, at AppleGate Hotel, karji, kaduna, within the jurisdiction of this honorable court, 

fraudulently impersonated one Layla Evans (a white woman)on Facebook, and in such assumed character cheated one Coopland (an Australian citizen) of the sum of $100 (one hundred USD)and you thereby committed an offense contrary to Section 308 and punishable under Section 309 of the Kaduna State Penal Code law,2017.”

They all pleaded “guilty” to their charges, prompting prosecution counsel M.E Eimonye in Osaro and Suleman’s case and M.J Argungu in both Abubakar and Isa’s case to pray the court to convict and sentence them accordingly.

 

Osaro and Suleman were sentenced to five years imprisonment by Justice Bello or to pay a fine of N400,000.00 (Four Hundred Thousand Naira) and N350,000.00 (Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) respectively. In addition, both forfeited their phones to the federal government.
