A Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, has sentenced one Mohammad Halim Ogbobio to 28 years’ imprisonment for his involvement in a N12m scam.
The convict was said to have paraded himself as the coordinator of the Bayelsa State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board and used the position to obtain the said amount from unsuspecting members of the public.
The victims, according to the statement, paid the convict a total of N12,130,000 for slots in a bogus 2012 hajj. The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges, signalling the commencement of full trial. The amount, according to a statement by the EFCC, was recovered on her behalf by the anti-graft agency.
