Justice M Abdulgafar of a Kwara State High Court sitting in Ilorin sentenced an internet fraudster, Temitope Ajayi Charles, to thirty-five years imprisonment without an option of fine.
Justice Abdulgafar while delivering Judgement on Tuesday on a criminal charge brought against the convict by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission pronounced him guilty and sentenced him to seven years on each count of the five counts.
The Presiding Judge also said that the judgement should run concurrently in all the five counts levelled against him by the anti-graft body.
The Judge agreed that the EFCC had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt, noting that the evidence of the only prosecution witness, Olamide Sadiq who is an operative of the commission was very strong and reliable.
The Court was quick to reject the testimonies of the convict where he claimed that the Police brought him to the office of the EFCC on the day of his arrest following his inability to pay the money they requested for.
