Apparently disgusted by the negative effect the activities of internet fraudsters impose on Nigeria’s image, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court, Ibadan Judicial Division, on Monday, May 6, 2019, rejected the terms of plea bargain presented on behalf of Oladimeji Abiola, an internet fraudster.
He was thereafter arraigned on February 19, 2019, when he pleaded not guilty to a five-count charge of false pretence, possession of fraudulent documents and knowingly sending indecent, offensive and pornographic pictures preferred against him. Similarly, the commission’s Ibadan zonal office on Monday arraigned one Yusuf Babatunde, an internet fraud suspect, before Justice P. I Ajoku of the Federal High Court 1, Ibadan.
