The Ilorin Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,, has secured the conviction of two persons over offences bordering on cheating by personation, love scam and other internet related fraud.

The convicts are Abdulkareem Jamiu who claimed to be a farmer and one Zakariyha Ibrahim from Oyun Local Government Area of Kwara State.

The duo of Jamiu and Ibrahim who were prosecuted before Justices Adenike Akinpelu and Sikiru Oyinloye respectively on separate charges, pleaded guilty to their respective charge.

Following their guilty pleas, Innocent Mbachie and Aliyu Adebayo who prosecuted the cases on behalf of the Commission called a witness each to review the facts of the cases.

The witnesses who are operatives of EFCC told the presiding Justices how credible intelligence led to the arrest of the defendants.

The Counsels told the Courts to consider the plea of guilt entered by the defendants, the extra-judicial statements and all the exhibits tendered to convict them as charged.

The two Justices agreed that the EFCC had successfully established the cases against the defendants and pronounced each of them guilty.

They were each sentenced to different jail terms with an option of fine, while all devices used in perpetrating the crimes were collected and forfeited to the Federal Government.
