The Benin Zonal Office of EFCC today, June 28, 2019 secured the conviction of Isaac Christiana Nkemdirim before Justice M.G. Umar of the Federal High Court sitting in Benin City, Edo State.

Nkemdirim was convicted on a one count charge of obtaining by false pretence contrary to Section 15(2)(a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2002 as amended and punishable under 15(3) of the same Act.

The charge reads: “That you, Isaac Christiana Nkemdirim (alias Ama Christiana, Isaac Christian and one Favour Chinonso (alias Steve Obinna (at large), on or about 23rd of August, 2018 within the jurisdiction of this honourable court did conceal or disguises the origin of the sum of N150,000 (One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) which you transferred to our Account 0775064177 domiciled in Access Bank PLC , which you knew or reasonably ought to have known that the said amount forms part of the proceeds of unlawful Act to wit: obtaining money by false pretenses and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 15 (2) (a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2012 as amended and punishable under section 15 (3) of the same Act.

Upon her arraignment, Nkemdirim pleaded guilty to the charge. Based on her plea, the prosecution counsel, Fredrick O. Dibang prayed the court to convict and sentence the defendant accordingly.

However, the defence counsel prayed the court to temper justice with mercy as his client was a first time offender and a youth who has promise never to go back to the crime.

Justice M.G. Umar thereafter convicted and sentenced the defendant to eight (8) months imprisonment without an option of fine.

  2. It is my belief that mesothelioma is definitely the most lethal cancer. It has unusual traits. The more I really look at it the harder I am persuaded it does not act like a true solid tissue cancer. If mesothelioma can be a rogue virus-like infection, so there is the chance for developing a vaccine plus offering vaccination for asbestos open people who are open to high risk involving developing future asbestos relevant malignancies. Thanks for revealing your ideas on this important health issue.

  3. I do agree with all of the ideas you have introduced to your post. They are very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are very brief for starters. May you please prolong them a little from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.

  5. With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d certainly appreciate it.

  6. I have observed that expenses for internet degree pros tend to be a terrific value. For example a full Bachelors Degree in Communication from The University of Phoenix Online consists of Sixty credits with $515/credit or $30,900. Also American Intercontinental University Online provides a Bachelors of Business Administration with a full school feature of 180 units and a tariff of $30,560. Online studying has made getting the certification far less difficult because you could earn the degree through the comfort in your home and when you finish from work. Thanks for all tips I have learned through your web-site.
