The judge sentenced him to 12 months in a correctional centre, with an option of a fine of N100,000.

He also ordered the forfeiture of the iPhone 12 and Infinix S5 phone recovered from the convict at the time of arrest to the federal government, and to restitute $1000 to his victim, Kingsley Matthew.

Earlier, the EFCC Counsel, P. C. Onyeneho, said that Enoch was one of the suspects arrested at Malali in Kaduna, on Aug. 25 following actionable intelligence about the activities of persons suspected to be fraudsters.
