The Benin Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, known as EFCC, has won a case against 15 people who cheated others on the internet. A judge in Benin City, Edo State, named Justice A. N. Erhabor, found them guilty.
Here are the names of the people involved: Nosa Gift, Igbinosa Eghosa, Nosazee Nosakhare, Imumonlen Jude, Promise Ogheneghere, Osadiaye Osasenaga Perfect, Ugiagbe Miracle, David Julius, Nosakhare Godswill, and Ajayi Precious.
Others include Idowu Olumayokun Omotoyo, Amina Kabiru, Martins Onos Iboyirode, Benson Amengbeivie Blessing, and Alabi Etinosa.
These people did wrong because they lied to get money, kept money from doing bad things, pretended to be someone else, and had fake papers.
The judge decided that Omotoyo, Kabiru, Iboyirode, Blessing, Etinosa, Gift, Eghosa, Nosakhare, Jude, Ogheneghere, Perfect, Julius, Godswill, and Precious should go to jail for two years. But they could also pay N200,000.00 instead of going to jail. Miracle has to spend three years in jail or pay the same fine.
Also, all of these people had to give their phones, laptops, and any money they made from their crimes to the government.
