The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said a High Court sitting in Kaduna, presided over by Justice Darius Khobo, had convicted and sentenced one Solomon Eke to three years imprisonment for impersonation.
The anti-graft agency wrote on its verified Twitter handle @officialEFCC, on Monday that Eke, who had operated a Facebook account with the name Kelvin James, was convicted for impersonating an agent of the American Federal Bureau of Investigation by the name, John Smith.
Following an intelligence report, EFCC stated that Eke was nabbed at Kurudu Phase 5, Abuja, alongside 24 other suspected internet fraudsters.
The statement partly read, “The defendant was arrested by the Kaduna Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission at Kurudu Phase 5, Abuja, alongside 24 others following intelligence on his alleged internet fraud-related activities.
