The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had arraigned the convict on two counts of intent to defraud over the internet.

A Federal Capital Territory High Court in Gwagwalada has sentenced a fake senator, Tom Makwe, to two years imprisonment for swindling a Spanish of 47,082 euros.

He said that the items recovered from the convict, which include one black Camry 2017 model car, Samsung S 23, Apple iPhone 13 cellphone, and HP EliteBook, would be forfeited to the government, and the proceeds of the sale would be remitted to the victim through the Spanish embassy in Nigeria. The defense counsel, Adaji Abel, supported the allocutus by the convict and pleaded with the court to show mercy in dispensing justice.

She said that the convict also, between January 13, 2023, and February 3, 2023, obtained the total sum of €9,853 from his victim, a Spanish citizen.
