The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Sokoto Zonal office
\non Tuesday 19 November, 2019 secured the conviction of one Emmanuel
\nAdedeji Oluwatosin, whose name was on the wanted list of the US Federal
\nBureau of Investigation, (FBI) before Justice M S. Sifawa of the Sokoto
\nState High court sitting in Sokoto.<\/p>\n

He was prosecuted on one count charge bordering on Internet fraud to the
\ntune of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand United State Dollars ($150,
\n000.00).<\/p>\n

The charge\u00a0 reads, “that you Adedeji Emmanuel Oluwatosin, sometime
\nbetween January and July 2019 at Sokoto within the jurisdiction of the
\nSokoto State High Court did steal the sum of $150, 000.00 (One Hundred
\nand fifty Thousand Dollars) through wire funds transfer from multiple
\nforeign victims by fraudulent intrusion into their retirement accounts
\ndomiciled in United States of America via internet and transferred the
\nsaid sums into fraudulent business accounts created by you and you
\nwithdrew the said funds through ATM Cards and cashier cheques and you
\nthereby committed the offence of Theft contrary to Section 274 of the
\nSokoto State Penal Code Law 2019 and punishable under Section 275 of the
\nsame Law”.<\/p>\n

Upon arraignment, Adedeji pleaded guilty to the charge.<\/p>\n

In view of the defendant’s\u00a0 plea, the prosecuting counsel, Musa. Mela
\nGwani asked the court to convict and sentence the defendant. However,
\nthe defence counsel, Shamsu A. Dauda, pleaded with the court to temper
\njustice with mercy as his client was a first time offender who has
\nbecome remorseful. He also told the court that the convict is ready to
\nrestitute the victims by forfeiting his home in Kaduna and two Mercedes
\nBenz cars (Models C550e and C450) to the victims.<\/p>\n

Justice Sifawa, thereafter convicted and sentenced the defendant to two
\n(2) years imprisonment with option of Two Million Naira (N2, 000,000.00)
\nfine.<\/p>\n

He ordered the convict to restitute the victims by forfeiting the
\nproceeds of the said crime: a residential apartment situated at No17\/19
\nSeamans Street, Maigero, Kaduna State and two Mercedes Benz Models C550e
\nand C450 respectively through Asset Forfeiture Unit of the EFCC for
\ndisposal and return of the proceeds to the victims of the offence
\nthrough the US Legal Attach\u00e9\u00a0 \u00a0in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The convict’s journey to prison started on the 29th of August, 2019 when
\nhe was arrested in Kaduna at Unguwan Maigero in a luxury apartment,
\nfollowing intelligence by US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on
\nhis involvement in internet scams.<\/p>\n

Items recovered from the residence included two cars (Mercedes Benz
\nC550e, Mercedes Benz C450), an IPhone, laptops, a modem and SIM cards.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
