A member of the National Youth Service Corps, Ajayi Ayokunle, has been sent to two months imprisonment without the option of fine for cybercrime.
A Federal High Court in Abuja, presided by Justice Inyang Ekwo, on Tuesday sentenced the corps member.
The 30- year-old corps member was said to have posed as Dr Joshua to defraud an American citizen, Maria, of $1000 dollars.
He would in addition to his imprisonment forfeit a cash sum of $500 dollars found in his bank account and a sophisticated android telephone to the Federal Government.
The judge turned down the plea bargain entered by the convict with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission wherein he confessed to committing the crime and requested for a soft landing of options of fines.
During his arraignment on Tuesday, the lawyer to EFCC, Dichi Umar, drew the attention of Justice Ekwo to the plea bargain and urged him to convict the defendant with an option of fine.
But the judge turned down the request instantly.
