Enugu Woman Bags 90 Years Imprisonment for Swindling Students Seeking for Admission in ESUT (Photo)
A woman in Enugu state has been handed 90 years imprisonment after she swindled N5.6 million from students seeking for admission into Enugu State University of Science and Technology.
A woman has been sentenced to 90 years in jail on Thursday by a Court in Enugu State for university admission fraud.
The woman identified as Chika Amsy Charles, was prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and was sentenced to three years imprisonment on each of the 30-count charge brought against her. The sentences are to run concurrently from the date of her conviction.
Ms. Charles had swindled three young Nigerians to the tune of N5.6 million under the guise of helping them secure admission into Enugu State University of Science and Technology, through her unregistered NGO called
“Bold and Dynamic Gender Initiative”.
But Ms. Charles ran out of luck in 2007 when one of her victims whom she defrauded petitioned the EFCC, on her fraudulent activities.
One of the Counts on which she was convicted and sentenced reads: “That you Chika Amsy Charles, Simon Chidubem (at large) and Friday Ali(at large) on or about the 10th October, 2007 at Enugu, Enugu State within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court of Nigeria with intent to defraud obtained N330,000(Three Hundred and Thirty Thousand) from Okudoh Obinna by false pretense when you represented yourselves as capable of procuring admission for his wards into Enugu State University of Science and Technology which pretense you knew to be false and thereby committed an offense contrary to Section 1(1)(b) of the Advanced Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act NO: 14 of 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act”.
