Kwara High Court, sitting in Ilorin, on Friday sentenced a commercial driver, Adetunji Oluwasegun to two years imprisonment for dishonest possession of N2 million that was mistakenly sent to his account by one Sherifat Sanni.

 The Ilorin Zonal office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had on Monday, Jan. 18, charged Oluwasegun of illegal possession of what does not belong to him.

The court stated “The amount was erroneously transferred to Oluwasegun’s bank account: 0008383333 domiciled with a first-generation bank, without her consent.

 “He thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 286 of the Penal Code and punishable under Section 287 of the same code.’’  

The defendant pleaded guilty to the charge.

 Justice Sikiru Oyinloye found Oluwasegun guilty of the offence and sentenced him to two years imprisomentn with a fine of N200,000.

Oyinloye also ordered the convict to pay N2 million to the complainant before he finishes serving his jail term.
