A Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Apo has ordered a
Yahoo boy, Edwin Ogbomwan (aka Thomas Jerry Stars), to forfeit iPhone X
and car, a Toyota Camry 2006 model to the Federal Government.
Justice
D. Senchi also sentenced the convict to two months in prison with the
option of paying N1m fine. The convict, who was arraigned by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, was found guilty of Internet
fraud.
The court also sentenced two men — Augustine James and
Cyrinus Richard — to 14 years in jail without an option of fine. They
were prosecuted on six charges bordering on conspiracy, obtaining money
by false pretences and forgery.
The three convicts were the first men to be convicted by the EFCC in 2019.
