Justice Darius Khobo of the State High Court sitting in Kaduna has sentenced two suspects, Moses Iliya Adamu and David Luis, to two years imprisonment for involvement in internet fraud.
Moses was arrested by operatives of the anti-graft agency following intelligence on his alleged involvement in cyber crime and was subsequently arraigned on two counts of cheating by impersonation contrary to Section 308 of the Penal Code Law of Kaduna State 2007 and punishable under section 309 of the same Law.
The defendant pleaded guilty to the charges, prompting E.K. Garba, counsel to the EFCC, to ask the court to convict and sentence him accordingly.
Justice Khobo consequently sentenced him to two years imprisonment with an option of N300,000 fine.
In a related development, Justice Khobo also sentenced one David Luis to two years imprisonment with an option of N150, 000 after he pleaded guilty to a one-count charge bordering on internet related fraud and obtaining money under false pretence.
