The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has secured the conviction of 10 individuals for various fraud-related offenses, including internet fraud, impersonation, and employment scams.
The convicts, Emmanuel Cyriacus, Nelson Yustus, Gabriel Victor Shindu, Daniel Gambo, Miracle Bukar, Mighty Awarri, Jonathan James, Mathias Adams, Sani Safiyanu, and Muazu Shira Mutari, were sentenced to various jail terms by the Gombe State High Court.
The charges ranged from impersonating foreign nationals to possessing fraudulent documents. The defendants pleaded guilty, and the court convicted and sentenced them accordingly.
In a separate case, the EFCC arraigned four individuals, Solomon Yohanna, Shedrach Naphtali, Hassan Mohammed, and Abdullahi Abubakar, for impersonating EFCC officials and forging documents to defraud unsuspecting Nigerians.
Yohanna pleaded guilty, while the others pleaded not guilty. The court granted bail to the second, third, and fourth defendants and remanded Yohanna in custody.
