A Special Offences Court, Ikeja, Lagos, yesterday, sentenced a middle-aged man, Ahmed Tijani, to a year imprisonment for involvement in a romance scam, using fraudulent documents.

Trial judge, Justice Mojisola Dada convicted Tijani of an allegation of possessing a document containing false pretence brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission .

Following his guilty plea, Banjo called the prosecution witness to review the facts of the case against the defendant. Kwanbuge said: “Sometime in April, the Commission received credible and reliable intelligence on the activities of an organised cyber-criminal syndicate network operating at Lekki, Lagos.

The fraudulent documents were printed from his device and a bank draft of N500,000 were all admitted as evidence after no objection was raised by the defence counsel.
