Justice M. Itsueli of Edo State High Court, sitting in Benin City, on Thursday, August 21, 2025 convicted and jailed the trio of Efosa Richard, Victor Nwachukwu and Ekaye Emaike for internet fraud.

They were prosecuted by the Benin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on separate one-count charges, bordering on advance fee fraud, obtaining by false pretence, retention of proceeds of crime and possession of fraudulent documents.

The charge against Richard read “That you Efosa Richard (m) on or about the 1st of August, 2025 within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did have in your iPhone 16, with IMEI Number 35776226117235, documents which you knew or ought to have known contain a false pretence and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 6 and 8 of the Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related Offences Act 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act.”

They all pleaded “guilty,” prompting prosecution counsel, I.M. Elodi and K. Y. Bello to pray the court to convict and sentence them accordingly, while the defence counsel pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy, stating that they have become remorseful for their actions.

Justice Itsueli convicted and sentenced them to two years imprisonment, each or to pay N200, 000 (Two Hundred Thousand Naira) fine, respectively.

All the convicts forfeited their mobile phones and laptop computers, being the tools of their crimes as well as money found in their respective bank accounts, being the proceeds of their crimes to the federal government and further undertook in writing to be of good behaviour henceforth.
