The Commission’s spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, made this known in a statement on Tuesday night.

He said the defendants were sentenced to five years imprisonment on Tuesday without option of fine.

“The judgment was the climax of a process that commenced on Monday, September 14, 2020 when the defendants were re-arraigned on a two count charge of conspiracy and obtaining money by false pretence to the tune of N71,400,000 (Seventy-One Million, Four Hundred Thousand Naira) only”, he added.
