After he entered his plea, the prosecution, led by Mrs. Chineye Okezie, went over the case’s facts and submitted evidence that the judge accepted.

Then, in light of the defendant’s plea and the presented evidence, she pleaded with the court to proceed and find him guilty.

Justice Aneke found the defendant guilty of the offense and convicted him as a result in his verdict.

The court gave the prisoner a one-year sentence with the possibility of a N300,000 punishment after hearing his request for leniency.

The federal government was also ordered to lose the objects used in the offense by the court.

According to the prosecutor, the defendant committed the crime between January and March.

She claimed that by posing as American actor “Keanu Reeves” on his Telegram account, he made a clear and deliberate false statement with the intention of tricking gullible people.

The prosecutor stated that the convicted individual wanted his falsehood to be taken seriously in order to profit financially from the victims.

She claimed that the offense violated the terms of the Cyber Crime Act of 2015’s Section 22(3).

On Thursday, a Kaduna Chief Magistrates’ Court ruled that 27-year-old Haruna Abdullahi, who is accused of defiling his neighbor’s 10-year-old daughter, should be placed under arrest in a prison.

NAN reports that Abdullahi was remanded after Magistrate Ibrahim Emmanuel rejected his claim that he lacked jurisdiction.

Emmanuel postponed the case to June 26 and gave the police instructions to return the case file to the Director of Public Prosecution, or DPP, for guidance.
