That of Oduh reads: “That you Kenneth Oche Oduh (a.k.a Robert Ben James),(m) sometimes in 2022 at Jos, Plateau 

State, within the jurisdiction of this honorable court, falsely presented yourself as Robert Ben James with a gmail account: robertben374@gmail.com and in that assumed character gained advantage for yourself the total sum of Eight hundred united States Dollars ($800.00USD),which you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 22 (2) (b) (ii) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition,Prevention,etc) Act, 2015 and punishable under Section 22 (2) (b) (iv) of the same Act.”

They all pleaded “guilty” to the charges against them, following which prosecution counsel Y.J Matiyak and M.E Eimonye urged the courts to convict and sentence them accordingly.
