The Ibadan zonal office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has achieved a significant milestone by securing the conviction and sentencing of 41 individuals involved in internet fraud across Oyo and Ogun states.
These convictions were the result of the culprits pleading guilty to one-count charges filed against them. The legal proceedings took place in different courts across both states.
In Oyo State, the convicted individuals faced justice before Judges Ladiran Akintola and Adebukola Olajide at the Oyo State High Court in Ibadan.
Meanwhile, in Ogun State, justice was served by Judges Abiodun Akinyemi, A.A. Babawale, and B.B. Adebowale at the High Court in Abeokuta. Additionally, Justice Uche Agomoh of the Federal High Court in Ibadan, Oyo State, played a role in ensuring justice was served in these cases.
EFCC made these revelations via a statement signed by its Head of Media and Publicity Dele Oyewale. The commission added that all 41 convicts were arrested by operatives for internet-related offences.
Among the convicts are Siyanbade Timilehin Omobosola, Ilugbo Emmanuel Adekunle, Odude Ayomide Michael, Aderounmu Gbenga Michael, Oluwole David Dare, Habeeblahi Abdullateef Akande, Ololade Sunday Olamide, Ibrahim Victor Abayomi, Adewusi Mojeed Adedeji, Afeez Lekan Jimoh, Peter Seyi Iyanuoluwa, Olatunde Abass, Alan-Oni Joseph Opeyemi, Adetunji Abolaji Adeola, and Ogunmola Oluwabori Michael.
