Fake Car Dealer Bags 3 Months Imprisonment

Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna State High Court on Thursday sentenced a fake car dealer, Isah Haruna to three months imprisonment for N2 million fraud.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Kaduna Zonal Office, charged Haruna with fraud and impersonation.

Delivering judgment, Khobo, gave the convict an option to pay a fine of N150,000.

“This sentence is to serve as a deterrent and punishment for the offence he committed knowingly,”  Judge Khobo Said.

Earlier, Counsel to EFCC, E.K. Garba, told the court that Haruna committed the offence in June 2019, in Zaria, Kaduna State.
