Justice N.I. Afolabi of the Federal High Court sitting in Lafia, Nassarawa State, has convicted and sentenced two underage internet fraudsters, Akhetuamhen Clinton, 15, and Obinyan Peter, 17, to different suspended jail terms, for cybercrime.
They were both jailed on Tuesday, after separately pleading guilty to one count charge bordering on cybercrime, during their arraignment by the Abuja Zonal Command of the EFCC.
Justice Afolabi therefore convicted and sentenced Clinton to two-year suspended sentence.
The judge ordered him to close down his bank account and banned him from using a phone or any computer except for academic purposes till he turns 18 years.
Peter, on the other hand, got a one year suspended sentence and was ordered to return all proceeds of his crime to the Federal Government.
Both convicts are also to close down their social media accounts and barred from going on social media.
