Justice Agatha Okeke said Mr Nwalozie's sentence is without an option of fine,
A High Court in Uyo, on Friday, sentenced Nwalozie Julius to three years imprisonment for impersonating the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria , Godwin Emefiele.
The EFCC said Mr Nwalozie’s arrest followed credible intelligence on the activities of internet fraudsters operating in Owerri, the Imo State capital. In the course of his arrest, the commission said the convict had confessed to the crime and forensic analysis of the HP laptop recovered from him further implicated him.
While reviewing the facts of the case, the prosecution tendered various exhibits through Mr Bagudo, which were admitted in evidence. Consequently, Mr Abolarin asked the court to invoke Section 274 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, ACJA and convict the defendant in view of the evidence adduced and the plea of the defendant.
