The EFCC on Monday
secured the conviction of Pastor Emmanuel Markus Anga and Atin Victor
Generous before Justice Abubakar Jauro of Gombe State High Court, on two
count charge bordering on conspiracy and obtaining money by false
pretense. Anga and Generous are alleged to have in November 2013,
deceived David Madison, into believing that they were employees of
foreign exchange business, Gora Commanding Resources, which they claimed
belonged to Philemon Gora (who is still at large).
Madison was lured
into believing that his investment of five hundred thousand would yield
him ten percent (10%) interest as returns on a monthly basis. He however
discovered later that the 10% on his capital reflected on his account
only in the first month of his investment. All his efforts to recover
the money afterwards proved abortive.
Justice Jauro convicted and
sentenced them both to seven years imprisonment on count one
(conspiracy) and Generous to another seven years on count two
(obtaining by false pretense). The sentence are to run-concurrently and
Generous will also pay back the said amount to the victim
