The Ibadan Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has secured the conviction of two internet fraudsters.
Adebowale Abimbolu (aka Mary Fisher) and Adeleye Damilola were convicted on Tuesday April 2 by Justice M.S Abubakar of the Federal High Court, Abeokuta, and on Wednesday, April 3 by Justice Joyce AbduMalik of the Federal High Court, Ibadan, respectively.
Having pleaded guilty to the one-count amended charge filed against him, Adebowale was sentenced to four months imprisonment.
But Adeleye was not as lucky. He was convicted and sent to six months in prison after pleading guilty to the one-count amended charge filed against him.
The two convicts were ordered to restitute to their victims the money they dubiously collected.
They are also to forfeit all the items recovered from them to the federal government.
