Abiodun Raheem, to eight months imprisonment for creating a Website to
facilitate examination malpractices.
Justice Kudirat Jose handed the sentence to Raheem after he pleaded
guilty to the offence during his re-arraignment.
The convict had entered a plea bargain agreement with the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The judge convicted him of the three-count charge of conspiracy, fraud
and examination malpractices preferred against him.
Jose consequently sentenced him to eight months imprisonment on each
of the count.
She said that the sentences would run concurrently beginning from
April 1 when Raheem was arrested and detained for the offences.
EFCC counsel, Mr Mohammed Bashir, had earlier told the court that
Raheem conspired to commit the offences on Jan. 27 in Lagos.
Bashir said the convict created a Website soliciting for potential
candidates sitting for the May/June West African Examination Council
Senior School Certificate Examination.
He said the Website offered solutions and answers to questions at a
fee of N4, 000 to subscribers and it also contained the account
details of the convict.
