Court

The Ilorin Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on Monday, November 6, 2023 secured the conviction and sentencing of Tijani Quadri Olasunkanmi and Soneye Basit Abiodun before Justice Adebayo Yusuf of the Federal High Court sitting in Ilorin, Kwara State.

They were jailed after pleading guilty to one- count separate charge, bordering on internet fraud, brought against them by the EFCC.

One of the count charges reads:

“That you, Tijani Quadri Olasunkanmi between January, 2022 and December, 2022 in Ilorin, Kwara State within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did knowingly had under your control the sum of N21,862,800.00 (Twenty one Million, Eight Hundred Sixty Two Thousand, Eight Hundred Naira Only) in your bank account number: 2115320752 with the name: Tijani Quadri Olasunkanmi domiciled with the United Bank of Africa which you knew to be proceeds of crime and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 319(a) of the Penal Code Laws of Northern Nigerian”

The defendants pleaded guilty to the charges when they were read to them.

In view of their pleas, prosecution counsel, Isabel Adeniran prayed the court to sentence and convict the defendants accordingly.

Justice Yusuf thereafter convicted and sentenced Olasunkanmi to six months imprisonment without an option of fine. He equally forfeited a Lexus RX350 Sports Utility Vehicle, Iphone 14 promax and a MacBook laptop to the Federal Government.

Similarly, the judge convicted and sentenced Abiodun to six months imprisonment with an option of fine of N50,000 (Fifty Thousand Naira Only). He also forfeited an iphone 6+ and the sum of N220,000 (Two Hundred and Twenty Thousand Naira Only) to the Federal Government. Additionally, the convict was ordered to restitute the sum of $180 (One Hundred and Eighty Dollars) to his victim.

The convicts began their journey to the Correctional Centre when operatives of the Ilorin Zonal Command of the EFCC arrested them for internet-related offences. Specifically, they impersonated foreigners and defrauded them in the process.

  21. Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the
    screen in Firefox. I’m not sure if this is a format
    issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought

    Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Kudos

    I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m
    having a difficult time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

    Anybody who knows the solution can you kindly respond? Thanx!!

    guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say,
    I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger
    but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any
    suggestions for rookie blog writers? I’d definitely
    appreciate it.

  28. It’s really very difficult in this busy
    life to listen news on Television, therefore I simply
    use world wide web for that purpose, and obtain the
    newest information.

  29. Hello there! Would you mind if I share your blog with my zynga group?

    your articles? I mean, what you say is important
    and everything. However think about if you added some great visuals or video clips
    to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips,
    this site could undeniably be one of the most beneficial in its field.
    Very good blog!

  33. First of all I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to
    ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to find out how
    you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
    I’ve had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.
    I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend
    to be lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?

    Cheers!

  34. Very good blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a
    little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that
    I’m completely confused .. Any recommendations?

    Many thanks!
