The Kaduna State High Court has sentenced a woman, Oluwayemisi Samuel, and her son, Joshua Samuel, to seven years imprisonment each over an offence bordering on false information.
The Kaduna Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Wednesday, April 26, said Oluwayemisi and Joshua squandered the sum of N5.6 million on sport betting and caused a false petition to be sent to the anti-graft, alleging that the money was fraudulently withdrawn from their Opay account to a sport betting account without their authorisation by an unknown individual.

The presiding judge, Justice A.A Bello, however, convicted and sentenced both defendants to seven years imprisonment each with an option of N150,000 fine.
