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

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.
