He was convicted and sentenced for impersonation by Justice Ayo-Emmanuel of the Federal High Court, Osogbo, Osun State.
The sentence requires him to clean the toilets at Ataoja School of Science, Osogbo, Osun State.

“They were convicted on separate one count charges each for offences relating to cyber-fraud.
“Upon their arraignments, they pleaded “guilty” to the charges preferred against them by the EFCC.
“In view of their pleas, the prosecution counsel urged the courts to convict and sentence them accordingly,” the EFCC said in a statement on Tuesday.
