Edo State High Courts sitting in Benin City have convicted and sentenced 17 additional internet fraudsters to various jail terms at a correctional centre.
The Benin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission secured their conviction before Justices A.N. Erhabor and W. I. Aziegbemhin, according to a statement released on Friday.
Their conviction comes days after the EFCC secured the conviction of 29 suspected fraudsters before the same High Court in Benin.
