Enabulele was among six suspected “yahoo yahoo boys” arrested in Abuja, by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on May 11, 2018 through a sting operation following intelligence report on their activities.
He thereafter, pleaded “guilty” to the amended charge, based on a plea bargain agreement with the prosecution.Defence counsel, Providence Osimen, however, pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy, noting that the defendant was still a young man of 29 years old, and had shown remorse. “He has never been convicted, and he is a graduate of public administration from University of Abuja, his parents look up to him for their wellbeing and he was just in the wrong place with the wrong company at the wrong time,” he said.
In sentencing Enabulele, Justice Senchi considered the plea bargain agreement, as well as the plea of his counsel, and gave him a fine of N25,000, failure of which he is to spend the 30 days in prison.
