During investigation, Cao Xue daughter to the first convict  disclosed in her statement that she was transporting the cash on behalf of her father.
When the Yogbin was interrogated as to where he got the money, he revealed that he bought the money from the second and third convict, Abdullahi Obaka and Rose Anyaele. The duo were subsequently arrested at Lagos Street, Kano where they engage in buying and selling of Nigerian Naira without lawful authority.
Upon arraignment,  Yongbin and his co-defendants pleaded guilty and were accordingly convicted by the court.
The convicts entered a guilty plea based on plea bargain agreement with the prosecution.

The court also ordered that the sum N393,000 (Three Hundred and Ninety Three Thousand Naira Only) be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria while the remaining N27,000 (Twenty Seven Thousand Naira Only) be returned to the first convict.
