Read the EFCC press statement below.
Justice Lawal Akapo of the Lagos State High Court, Ikeja on
Monday June 22, 2015, convicted and sentenced one Emmanuel Osita (a.k.a Chuks) to three years imprisonment on a two count charge of obtaining money by false pretence. The convict was arrested by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, sequel to a petition
from a legal practitioner on behalf of one Mrs. Veronica
Okonkwo, an eighty-one (81) year-old woman who was
the victim.
The convicts while operating as a commercial tri-cyclist
conspired with other persons who are still at large and
falsely represented to the victim that they had the
capacity to produce local and foreign currencies from
pieces of papers by dipping them into mercury.
Osita and his accomplices hoodwinked the 81-year-old
woman to let go the sum of N120, 000.00 (One Hundred
and Twenty Thousand Naira) as registration fee with a
mercury company prior to the procurement of the
chemical. The octogenarian was also induced to sell her
property in Festac Town Lagos for N27 million and the
proceeds appropriated by the convict and his co- travellers.
Upon his arrest, the convict was arraigned on 1st July,
2014. He subsequently pleaded guilty after making
restitution to the victim; including the property valued at
N27 million as the alleged buyer forfeited same to the
victim. Based on his plea and the restitution of the victim,
Justice Lawal Akapo convicted and sentenced the
accused to three years imprisonment without any option of fine.
