Justice Sani in his judgment held that the prosecution had successfully established its case against the defendant.
In sentencing the convict, the judge ordered that one iPhone 12 Promax, hp laptop, a Toyota Camry Car, and a draft of N350, 000 which he raised as restitution be forfeited to the Federal Government.
