An Internet fraudster, Sodiq Adewale, has been sentenced to three years’ imprisonment by the Lagos State Special Offences Court in Ikeja for defrauding his victims of $87,300.
Adewale was re-arraigned before Justice Mojisola Dada on an amended one count by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. At the resumed proceedings on Tuesday, the EFCC prosecutor, Fadekemi Giwa, told the court that Adewale had approached the commission for a plea bargain, adding that following this, the charge against him was amended.Following his plea, Adewale’s counsel, Ademola Adefolaju, urged the court to be lenient in sentencing his client, adding that he was a first-time offender who did not waste the time of the court.
The charge read, “That you, Sodiq Adewale, on or about the 25th day of January, 2021, in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, had in your possession a document titled: ‘Official Check No. 029356348’ valued $87,300 containing false pretences, which you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 320 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State.”All rights reserved.
