A woman
identified as
Mrs Chika
Charles has
been
sentenced to
90 years in
prison by a
federal high
court in Enugu for defrauding students seeking
admission into Enugu State University of science
and technology (ESUT) to the tune of 5.6 million
Naira.
According to a statement released by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC). The convict obtained the money from
her victims under the pretense of helping them
gain admission into the university through her
unregistered non-governmental organisation
(NGO) known as Bold and Dynamic Gender
Initiative.
It was learnt that she was arrested in 2007 after
one of her victims sent a petition to EFCC
concerning her fraudulent activities.
The jail term comprises three years on each of
the 30-count charge and will run concurrently
from the date of her conviction.
