Justice Mahmud Abdulgafar of the Kwara State High Court in Ilorin has sentenced a 26-year-old photography apprentice, Amole Anuoluwapo  and one Adeboye Oluwapelumi to various jail terms, having found them guilty of offences bordering on cybercrime.

Amole and Adeboye who are to spend their terms in custody of the Nigerian Correctional Centre, started their journey to jail on May 4, 2023 when they were arrested in Ilorin, Kwara State’s capital, upon intelligence on their fraudulent activities by operatives of the Ilorin Zonal Command of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The anti-graft agency on Tuesday, June 13, 2023 arraigned the Amole and Adeboye on separate charges, to which they pleaded guilty to their respective charge.

The charge against Amole reads:

“That you, Amole Samuel Anuoluwapo, sometime in 2023, in Ilorin, Kwara State within the jurisdiction of this honorable court , did attempt to cheat by personation when you pretended to be a white female via Google Voice with Email Address”[email protected] which you used to communicate with a white male with Email Address “[email protected]” in order to induce him to send you money and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 95 of the Penal Code Law and Punishable under section 324 of the same Law.”

The charge against Adeboye reads:

“That you, Adeboye Abel Oluwapelumi, sometime between May 2022 and February 2023 in Ilorin, Kwara State, within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court, knowingly had under your control the sum of N218,000.00 which is reasonably suspected to be unlawfully obtained and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 319A of the Penal Code Law.”

Upon their “guilty pleas”, counsel to the EFCC, Anselm Ozioko (Jnr.) led witnesses who are operatives of the commission in evidence to review the facts of the cases.

The witnesses narrated the circumstances surrounding the arrest of the defendants and tendered their extra-judicial statements, phones and a sum of N218, 000 which Adeboye benefitted from the crime and were admitted in evidence by the court.

Thereafter, Ozioko (Jnr.) prayed the court to hold that the prosecution had established the essential ingredients of the case to warrant the conviction of the defendants.

In his judgement, Justice Abdulgafar held that the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt and thereby pronounced the defendants guilty of their respective charge.

The judge sentenced Amole to six months imprisonment, which should be suspended.

He also ordered that the iphone 7plus, which was recovered from him at the point of arrest be forfeited to the federal government.

In the same vein, Justice Abdulgafar sentenced Adeboye to six months imprisonment on count one and one-year imprisonment on count two, which should also be suspended.

In addition, the court ordered that one iphone 11 recovered from him at the point of arrest and the sum of N218,000 which he benefited from his criminal activities be forfeited to the federal government.
