One of the counts read:

That you Akhibge Gabriel (a.k.a Mathew Aswan, Mathew Chang , David Wong, Richard Swan and Mark Peter) sometime between 2018 and 2019 at Uromi within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did fraudulently impersonate the identity of one Michael Chan by sending an American picture to Candy Selfie a lady in America through the internet which picture and identity you claim to be our own with the intent to obtain money from her, and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 22 (2)(b)(ii) of the Cybercrime (Prohibition Prevention etc) Act, 2015 and punishable under Section 22 (2)(b)(IV) of the same Act”.

The accused pleaded guilty to the charges prompting the prosecution counsel F. A. Kirby to ask the court to sentence the young man based on the content of the plea bargain agreement.

The defence counsel, Peter Asemota however preyed the court to be lenient with the defendant as he was a remorseful first time offender who had promised not to return to crime when released.

Justice Umar thereafter sentenced the accused to six (6) months imprisonment with an option of N2,000,000 (Two Million Naira).
