The defendant pleaded “not guilty” to the charge, thereby leading to his full trial.

 

During the trial, the prosecution counsel, Babatunde Sonoiki, presented three witnesses and tendered several documents, which were admitted in evidence  by the court.

 

Delivering judgment, Justice Fadipe found him guilty and sentenced him to one year imprisonment, with an option of a fine of N2,000,000 (Two Million Naira). 

 

The court also ordered him to undertake 50 hours of community service and make restitution of N15,600,000 to the petitioner.

 

The convict’s road to the Correctional Centre began when he was arrested by operatives of the EFCC for obtaining  the sum of N37,000,000 (Thirty Seven  Million Naira) by false pretence from Mr. Eze Onyekachukwu in the guise of  getting him into investment in forex.  He neither invested the funds in forex nor returned the money to the petitioner.
