A High Court in Kaduna on Wednesday ordered the EFCC to sell an iPhone 11 belonging to one Clement Jude and the proceeds paid into Federal Government coffers.

Delivering Judgment, Justice M.T. M. Aliyu, sentenced Clement after he pleaded guilty to internet related fraud filed against him by the EFCC.

He sentenced the convict to eight months imprisonment with an option of N100, 000 fine.

Earlier, the EFCC Counsel, E. K. Garba, told the court that the convict was arrested based on intelligence received on his internet-related fraud activities.

Garba said on receiving the report, the convict was arrested in his residence in Ungwan Rimi, Kaduna, where incriminating documents and materials were recovered from him.

The prosecution also said N500,000 was found in the defendant’s bank account which is suspected to have been obtained unlawfully.

Garba noted that the defendant committed an offence punishable under the provisions of Section 319 (a) of the Penal Code.(NAN)
