Court Convicts Man for Possession of Fraudulent Documents

The Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos, on Monday, January 23, 2023, sentenced one Francis Nduka to two years imprisonment for possession of a document containing pretense.

Justice R.A.Oshodi sentenced Nduka, a National Diploma, ND, holder from Auchi Polytechnic, who was arraigned by the Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on an amended two-count charge bordering on possession of a document containing pretense, an offense contrary to Section 318 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011.

Count one reads: “Francis Chikodi Nduka, on or about April 2020, in Lagos, within the Ikeja Judicial Division, had in your possession a document containing a pretense, specifically a document titled, “Google Account” printed from your email account richieratz1961@gmail.com, wherein you falsely pretended to be a man named Richard Ratz, which representation you knew to be false.”
