The convicts were prosecuted by the Kaduna Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on one-count separate charges. 


While Osavbie and Japheth’s charges bordered on impersonation and cheating, that of Salisu bordered on obtaining by false pretence and cheating.

Each of the three defendants  pleaded "guilty" to their charges when they were read to him, prompting prosecution counsel M. Arumemi and M. Lawal to pray the court to convict and sentence them accordingly.


Justice Bello, afterwards, convicted and sentenced Salisu to three years imprisonment or  a fine of N200,000.00 (Two Hundred Thousand Naira). 


In addition, he forfeited N300,000

(Three Hundred Thousand Naira), being the proceeds of crime to the federal government.

 

Japheth bagged four years imprisonment or a fine of N400,000 (Four Hundred Thousand Naira). 


Additionally, he forfeited the sum of £75.00 (Seventy-five British pounds), being proceeds of the crime and his iPhone 11 mobile phone to the federal government, while Omoruyi was sentenced to seven years imprisonment or  a fine of N450,000.00 (Four Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira). In addition, he forfeited the sum of N400,000 (Four Hundred Thousand Naira), being proceeds of his crime and his iPhone X max to the federal government.

 

Salisu’s journey to prison began when his victim petitioned the Commission, alleging that he convinced him in May 2021 that he could secure a job for him in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and later demanded the sum of N300,000

 (Three Hundred Thousand Naira) from him for the job placement, which he paid into the convict’s bank account but neither got the job nor his money back.
