Justice Kuewunmi granted the application and Iloh pleaded “guilty.“

Justice Kuewumi sentenced him to four years on each of the counts and same shall run concurrently from the 10th of October 2019.”

The judge also ordered the forfeiture of N97,300,613.44, $139,575.50 and £10,121.52 respectively to the Federal Government of Nigeria, being proceeds of unlawful activities.

A statement signed by the Agency’s Spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren recalled that the EFCC had, on October 3, 2019, secured the conviction and sentencing of Iloh to five years imprisonment over a N14.1m fraud before Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Ikeja Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos.
