Twelve individuals have been convicted and sentenced to various jail terms by Justices Kayanson Samuel Lawanson, Hammed Isha, Benjamin Manji Lawal, and Mohammed Ibrahim Tola of the Adamawa State High Court for internet fraud-related offenses.
The convicted persons include Oladele Pius, Emmanuel Bulus, Elijah Elisha, Alamin Mohammed Bappa, Jamilu Usman, and Enoch Solomon, as well as Emmanuel Anthony, Enebeli Samuel Israel, Dimas Hyellabulatin, Emmanuel Dike, Joshua Umoru, and Dan Eden Sunday.
The Gombe Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had arraigned the defendants between November 6 and 7, 2024, on charges of cheating and impersonation. During their arraignment, all the accused pleaded guilty to the charges, leading prosecution counsels Saad Sa’ad and M.D. Aliyu to urge the court to convict and sentence them.
In their rulings, the judges ordered that the mobile phones recovered from the defendants during the investigation be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The convicts were apprehended on September 24, 2024, near the Modibo Adamawa University of Technology area in Yola, Adamawa State, by EFCC operatives. Following their arrests, they were charged and subsequently sentenced.
