Justice Hauwa’u Bubari of the Federal High Court, sitting in Kaduna has convicted and sentenced the duo of Audu Ishida and Elisha Smith to six years imprisonment  for fraud.

They were prosecuted by the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC on a separate-count charge, bordering on impersonation, retention of proceeds of fraud and money laundering.

Smith’s charge reads: “That you Elisha Smith (m) sometime in May, 2024, in Jos South, Plateau State, within the jurisdiction of this honorable court, retained the total sum of N808,234.02(Eight Hundred and Eight Thousand, Two Hundred and Thirty-four Naira Two Kobo only), in your account no.9030090284, domiciled at Palmpay Bank Ltd with account name:Elisha Smith Anzaina which you knew that such fund forms part of proceeds of an unlawful act and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 18(2)(d) of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition)Act, 2022 and punishable under Section 18(3) of the same Act.”

That of Ishida reads: “That you Audu Ishida (Baddie Kylemili) on or about the 2nd of June, 2024 in Jos, within the jurisdiction of this honorable court, retained the total sum of $50 U.S  from your victim, which you reasonably ought to have known forms parts of proceeds of an unlawful act and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 20(a) of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition)Act,2022 and punishable under Section 20(b) of the same Act.”

They pleaded “guilty” to the charges when they were read to them, prompting prosecution counsel, M.E Eimonye to urge the court to convict and sentence them accordingly.

After listening to the plea of the defence counsel, the judge convicted and sentenced Smith to four years imprisonment or to pay a fine of N500,000.00 (Five Hundred Thousand Naira), while he convicted and sentenced Ishida to two years imprisonment or to pay a fine of N400,000 (Four Hundred Thousand Naira).

Beside their prison terms, they forfeited their mobile phones, a Samsung Galaxy S10e  and one Oppo F1s

Both convicts were arrested in Jos, Plateau State, following intelligence that linked them with fraudulent internet activities.
