The duo was charged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on a single-count charge bordering on possession of fraudulent documents with intent to defraud one Lisa Marie Nors, an American citizen.
Justice Obile, after going through the evidences tendered by the prosecution counsel, M.T. Iko, found the duo guilty and accordingly convicted them.
The convicts were first arraigned on February 1, but pleaded not guilty to a 13-count. However, when the matter came up on Thursday, for hearing, the accused persons pleaded guilty to an amended one count charge and were accordingly convicted and sentenced.
The convicts were arrested at their residence in Sapele, Delta State based on intelligence on their illegal activities that bordered on defrauding foreigners through internet scams.
