Justices Adebayo Yusuf of the Kwara State High Court in Ilorin and Muhammed Sani of the Federal High Court sitting in Ilorin have convicted two siblings – Shekoni Taofeek and Shekoni Damilare, alongside Adegbe Thankgod for offences bordering on cybercrime and retention of proceeds of unlawful activities.
They were convicted after pleading guilty to two count-charges bordering on retention of proceeds of unlawful activities, based on their arraignment by the Ilorin Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) .
While Taofeek and Damilare were convicted by Justice Yusuf, Thankgod was jailed by Justice Sani.
The defendants pleaded guilty to their respective charges when they were read to them.
Upon their pleas, counsels to the EFCC, Innocent Mbachie and Aliyu Adebayo, reviewed the facts of the cases and prayed the court to convict them accordingly.
Justice Yusuf, thereafter, convicted and sentenced Taofeek and Damilare to six months imprisonment each.
