A Kaduna Chief Magistrates’ Court, on Thursday, sentenced a 40-year-old woman, Danielle Justin, to three years imprisonment for alleged N5.8m visa fraud.
The Magistrate, Mr Ibrahim Emmanuel, sentenced Justin after she pleaded guilty to a charge of fraud.
Emmanuel, however, gave the convict an option to pay N50,000 as fine.
He also ordered the convict to pay N5.8m as compensation to the complainants.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, Insp Chidi Leo, told the court that the defendant got N2.4m each from the complainants, Timothy Sunday and Grace Leonard for Canadian and French visas/tickets, which he failed to deliver.
Leo said that the defendant converted the money to her personal use.
The prosecutor said that the offence contravened the Penal Code of Kaduna State 2017. (NAN)
