NewsReport Nigeria gathered that the court also finds his accomplice, one Augustine Olayinka guilty as charged and therefore, sentenced him to 7 years in prison. The conviction was secured by the Lagos Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
A statement signed by the Head, media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren and made available to iReportnews online noted that “The convicts were arraigned in December 2017 on a six-count charge bordering on conspiracy, stealing and fraudulent diversion of funds to the tune of N116million (One Hundred and Sixteen Million Naira) to which they pleaded “not guilty” prompting commencement of trial
