bloomshorts The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has made headlines by convicting four internet fraudsters, a move that underscores the Nigerian government’s commitment to combating cybercrime. The defendants, arrested at a hotel within the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library complex, pleaded guilty to various charges, including identity theft and obtaining money under false pretenses.
Justice Deinde Dipeolu, presiding over the case, handed down sentences ranging from one month’s imprisonment to community service, with options for fines. This case highlights the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) ongoing efforts to clamp down on cybercrime in Nigeria.
