Upon their arraignment, the convicts pleaded “guilty” when the charges were read to them. Subsequently, the courts reviewed the facts of the cases, and incriminating documents were presented as evidence. The prosecuting counsels urged the courts to convict and sentence them accordingly.

After considering the arguments, the judges sentenced Yusuf, Sodiq, and Olamilekan to six months of community service each. Timilehin, Daniel, Segun, Bolanle, Ramon, Oluwasegun, Sherrif, and Olalekan received one-month community service each. Opeyemi, Babatunde, Dolapo, and Francis were handed two weeks of community service each.

Yusuf was additionally ordered to pay a fine of N100,000.00, Olamilekan was instructed to pay N200,000.00, and Sodiq was mandated to pay N170,000.00, in addition to their respective sentences.

All the convicts were directed to make restitution to their various victims and forfeit all recovered items to the federal government.

In a related development, the Oyo State Police Command apprehended and handed over twin brothers, Abdulrauf Taiwo and Abdulrauf Kehinde, alongside five others, Adeyemi Samuel, Alabi Ayomide, Yekini Faroug, Hassan Olamilekan, and Ibrahim Olawale, to the Ibadan Zonal Command of the EFCC for alleged internet fraud activities. Recovered items from the suspects include seven phones, among others. The anti-graft agency stated that they have made useful statements and would be charged to court once investigations are concluded.
