EKO HOT BLOG reports that Olabisi Samuel, a 26-year-old computer engineer, and two other people were found guilty yesterday of offenses bordering on cybercrime and retention of proceeds of illegal acts by Justice Muhammed Sani of the Federal High Court in Ilorin.
Timothy Olakunle and Ajayi Olayemi are the other two convicts. Olabisi, Ajayi, and Timothy were all charged separately by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCCIlorin )’s Zonal Command, and they all entered guilty pleas.
Following their guilty plea, Aliyu Adebayo and Andrew Akoja who prosecuted the cases on behalf of the anti- graft agency reviewed the facts of the cases from the bar and tendered the extra-judicial statements of the defendants, phones, laptop recovered from them at the point of arrest and fraudulent messages printed from their devices, which were admitted in evidence.
Adebayo and Akoja urged the court to hold that the prosecution had established the essential ingredients of crime against the defendants to warrant their conviction.
Justice Sani in his judgement found the defendants guilty and sentenced them to various jail terms.
