The fraudsters, who specialised in Business E-mail Compromise (BCG), internet fraud, and other related offences are: Chisom Emmanuel Odom; Isajimi Joshua; Tafa Basit; Adeleye Oladele Benjamin, Chukwu Simon and Amoo Tunmise.
They were sentenced and convicted by different Federal High Court judges at the Federal Capital Territory on charges bordering on internet frauds.
The convicts’ problems started when residents of their respective neighbourhoods petitioned the EFCC, alleging them of suspicious lifestyles as signals of criminality.
Investigation by the Commission revealed that the fraudsters converted their residences to dens, where they were operating freely and defrauding members of the public.
