The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ( EFCC) Ilorin Zonal Office has secured the conviction of one Abolarin Kayode for internet and other fraud related offences.

Abolarin was convicted and sentenced to six months imprisonment by Justice Sikiru Oyinloye of the Kwara State High Court, Ilorin.

The defendant after his arraignment, and being confronted by the overwhelming evidence against him, entered into a plea bargain discussion with the prosecution, leading to an amendment of the original charge filed against him.
