AN Oyo State High Court has convicted the duo of Timothy Oluwaseun Oni and Abdulwahab Oladimeji Muhammed on a separate one-count amended charge bordering on criminal impersonation.
The court presided over by Justice Bayo Taiwo, convicted the defendants after they pleaded “guilty” to the charges preferred against them by the Ibadan Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
According to a statement by the Head of Media and Publicity of the commission, Wilson Uwujaren, Justice Taiwo, after considering the facts of the cases and the evidence by the prosecution, held that the prosecution had proved the cases and sentenced the convicts to six months community service each.
In addition to the jail terms, the judge ordered Oni to restitute the sum of $2,000USD (Two thousand United States Dollars) to his victim and forfeit one 2011 Mercedes Benz car, one iPhone 12 Pro Max mobile phone, a Samsung Galaxy S8 phone and one Apple iPad.
