Travel agent jailed 10 years for N1.8m fraud

Inah’s conviction on Tuesday followed his prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Sokoto zonal office, on one count of cheating.

The charge read, “That you, Freedom Inah, while acting as a travel agent for Gulf Centre International Travel and Tourism, United Arab Emirates, and Top Valley Speciality Hospital, UAE, and Nwabueze Joseph and Peter Ike , sometime in 2019 in Sokoto, within the judicial division of the High Court of Justice of Sokoto State, dishonestly induced one Ahmed Jelani to pay the total sum of N1,435,250 into three different accounts, including the sum of N395,000, into your Access Bank account by...

The defence counsel, Shamsu Dauda, however, pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy as his client was a first-time offender, who had become remorseful.Justice Sifawa, thereafter, convicted and sentenced the defendant to 10 years’ imprisonment with an option of N200,000 fine.All rights reserved.

But those who stole Billions of Public funds were given 12years jail terms? What's the rationale behind the sentencing?

Truly he needs to be jailed but this ten years is too much compare to offence of our politicians without punishment

10 years? Nawa ooo 🙄🙄🙄 it’s too much oo

Ten years is too small. This travel agents has frustrated so many but our politicians has done worse.

This is wickedness.. How many years is orji Kalu going to spend in prison

And our fraudulent politicians get minimal judgement or even walk freely!!! What a country!

This is ridiculous. 10 years for 1.8m? This judiciary is nuts

I must make it urge. He has finally made it. He is in jail

Yahoo breed

10 years?

Wat about d prof of nhis? Wen r we going to hear about his sentences? Good as fraudsters r getting paid in der own coins

It will serve as a deterrent to others

Aargh, they should add daily beating to his jail term. Wicked set of people.

Orji Uzor Kalu got 12 years for 7.2 Billion Naira. 7.2 BILLION NAIRA. Think about it.

Very very good

Official_black0 Is their way, most of them are registered fraudsters...if you ain't bright they'll use that cooperate affairs registration stuff to blindfold you like we are registered company with corporate affairs.

Oooiin. The rest will learn..

Ok his doing well
