The defendants, who were arraigned on separate charges pleaded guilty to their respective charges when it was read to them.

Following the “guilty pleas”, Innocent Mbachie, Adebayo Aliyu, Charles Oni and Rasheedat Alao who represented the EFCC in the cases reviewed the facts of the cases and tendered the statements and items recovered from the defendants at the point of arrest, which were admitted in evidence.

The justices having considered the facts placed before the courts and the admittance of guilt by the defendants, found them guilty and accordingly sentenced them to various jail terms.

The courts also ordered that the phones and laptops used as instrumentalities of the crime by the convicts and the money brought by them as restitution be forfeited to the Federal Government.
