The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has secured the conviction and sentencing of 34 internet fraudsters before seven
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has secured the conviction and sentencing of 34 internet fraudsters before seven different judges in Oyo, Osogbo, Ogun, and Kaduna.
They all pleaded “guilty” to their charges when they were read to them, upon which the prosecution prayed the courts to convict and sentence them accordingly. The convicts were prosecuted by the Kaduna Zonal Command of the EFCC on separate one-count charges, bordering on impersonation and obtaining by false pretence.
Segun Joseph, Winner Joseph and Daniel were arrested in a raid in their hideout around Television Garage and Barnawa axes in Kaduna, following credible intelligence on their fraudulent activities, while Oduh was arrested in Jos metropolis alongside other members of his Internet fraud syndicate.
