The Ilorin Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) prosecuted the convicts on separate charges.

The presiding judge, Justice Sikiru Oyinloye convicted the three after they pleaded guilty to their charge, but opted for plea bargain.

Delivering judgment, Justice Oyinloye said that he took cognisance of the plea of guilt entered by the defendants, the plea bargain agreements and the exhibits tendered without objection by the defence counsels.

He said that the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt and sentenced Oyewale to one year imprisonment with option of fine of N500,000.

The court ordered the forfeiture of his black Toyota Corolla Car, with registration number RSH272BF ABUJA, which he acquired with proceeds of unlawful activities.

Also to forfeit his Purple Samsung S10 and Black iPhone XR, which he used as instruments in perpetrating the crime.
