Find the EFCC press statement below...
The Economic and Fiunacial Crimes Commission, EFCC, recorded its first conviction for 2015 on Wednesday January 28, 2015 as Justice A. Ongetenu of the Federal High Court Abakaliki, Ebonyi State convicted and sentenced one Monday Agha to 10 years imprisonment for offences bordering on conspiracy, impersonation and obtaining money by false pretence.
Agha, who was arraigned on July 20, 2013, allegedly fraudulently opened several accounts in different banks using fictitious names with which he conspired with one Moses to defraud some unsuspecting victims.
After diligent prosecution, Justice Ongetenu convicted the accused on six of the eight count charge preferred against him and sentenced him to 10 years imprisonment.

The convict was also ordered to pay N2,730,000 (two million, seven hundred and thirty thousand naira) in restitution to the complainant
One of the charges reads: “that you Agha Monday (a.k.a Nwachukwu Peter Elom), Elder Emmanuel Elom, (at large) Obinna Chijioke (at large) Agatha Chigbata Munachi (at large) Anthonia C.

In a game of chess the pawns are easily sacrificed. Bishops, knights and the castle can be sacrificed in a strategic move towards a mate. I want the efcc to go after the main pieces(politicians, ex govs and cronies) in this game of chess. That time we know you guys are really working. N10m and billions of naira and dollars are not the same. Meanwhile, una want make we clap for thos one abi? Clapping!!!!! Pls go after the don dada them
