Another group of foreigners were found guilty and given one year in prison each for cyber-terrorism and internet fraud by the Federal High Court in Lagos on Friday.
After each of their pleas of guilty, Justice Yellin Bogoro and Justice Alexander Owoeye issued a total of 15 sentences, including 11 Filipinos, two Chinese, one Malaysian, and one Indonesian.
The convicts are Guo Bin, Savien Cire Renovilla, Irish Chna, Darwisa Esmael, Winnie De Jesus, Kayceelynn Remorin, and Zeng Zerong.
Other members include: Beverlyin Gumayo (also known as Veb Sumayo), Jessa Sanchi, Jhena Sarmiento, Rain Torida, Rex Jose Dilag (also known as Madison), Tan Soon Kar, Fernando Fu Fang, and Beverlyin Gumayo (also known as Veb Sumayo).
Additionally, the trial judges directed the Nigeria Immigration Service’s Comptroller-General to make sure that convicts are returned to their home countries within seven days of their sentences.
The Federal Government of Nigeria was also given the command to forfeit the items recovered from the defendants.
With this most recent verdict, there are now 33 foreigners who have been found guilty and sentenced.
18 foreigners were found guilty and sentenced last Friday in two separate trials by Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke and Justice Yellim Bogoro.
Under a plea deal with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the foreigners who had initially entered a not-guilty plea changed their pleas.
The 193 foreign nationals who were detained in December 2024 at their hideout in the seven-story building known as the Big Leaf Building on Oyin Jolayemi Street, Lagos, are included in a larger number of those detained.
