A High Court in Ilorin has sentenced 45-year-old Adetunji Tunde Oluwasegun to two years imprisonment for fraudulently converting to personal use N2 Million erroneously transferred into his account.
Oluwasegun was arraigned before Justice Sikiru Oyinloye, the court’s Presiding Judge Monday by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a one-count charge bordering stealing.
The charge against Oluwasegun read: “That you, Adetunji Tunde Oluwasegun, sometime between the month of July, 2020 and 21st of August, 2020 at Ilorin, Kwara State, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court dishonestly took the sum of N2,000,000.00 (Two Million Naira), property of Sherifat Omolara Sanni, which she erroneously transferred to your bank account 0008383333 domiciled with Guaranty Trust Bank plc, without her consent and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 286 of the Penal Code and punishable under Section 287 of the same Penal Code”
The Judge did not just sentence the defendant to two years imprisonment, he was again asked to pay a fine of N200,000.
Justice Oyinloye equally directed Oluwasegun to refund the sum of N2 Million to his victim before he finished serving his jail term.
