They were also convicted for sending out pornographic and indecent pictures.The convicts were arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibadan Zonal Office.
They were each convicted of one-court charge bordering on impersonation and sending of pornographic and indecent pictures. The trio of Adegbola, Babarinde and Sokoya were tried by Hon. Justice Watilat Ibrahim of the Federal High Court 2, Abeokuta, Ogun State, who found them guilty of their individual offences, convicted and sentenced them to prison. But Mufutau’s conviction was pronounced by Hon. Justice S. M. Abubakar of the Federal High Court 1, Abeokuta, Ogun State. The judge held that the prosecution proved the case against him beyond every reasonable doubt. The first, second and third convicts were initially arraigned on December 10, 2018, while the fourth convict was arraigned on December 11, 2018.
They, however, opted to plead guilty to the charges preferred against them. Justice Ibrahim convicted and sentenced Adegbola to five months imprisonment with effect from the date of his arrest, and also ordered that he return, through the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to his victims, $1,080, phone and laptop being proceeds from his fraudulent acts.
