Justice F. N. Azinge of the Delta State High Court sitting in Otor-Udu has convicted and sentenced the duo of Pastor Glory Okeoghene Aberefa and Reverend Vincent Okpogo to 16 and 10 years imprisonment, respectively.
The first defendant, Pastor Aberefa was sentenced to one-year imprisonment on each of the 16 counts, while the second defendant, Reverend Okpogo was sentenced to one-year imprisonment each on count seven to 16, all of which run consecutively. The convicts, who are already serving terms in prison, having been earlier jailed 17 years by both the Federal High Court, Asaba and Delta State High Court, Warri, in Delta State, would serve new sentences, which Justice Azinge said would take effect after they have completed the extant 17 years imprisonment.
Trouble started for the convicts when under the guise of running a finance company, defrauded dozens of unsuspecting members of the public of millions of naira, through their fraudulent Mustard Seed Micro Investment Limited.
