A final year student of the Institute of Management and Technology, IMT, Enugu, Muonwuba Valentine, has bagged a two-year imprisonment for conspiracy, uttering, impersonation and attempting to steal.
Valentine was brought before the court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, alongside one Frank Joseph, who also committed the same offence.
The trial judge, Justice M.N Yinusa of the Federal High court, Enugu, on Thursday, June 16, 2016, who sentenced the duo, found them guilty of the charges against them.
It was gathered that the two were earlier arrested in March 2016, on an allegation that they visited an Access Bank Branch in Kenyatta, Enugu State, presented themselves as customers of the bank and requested for an ATM card on a particular account claiming that the said account belonged to their grandfather who is bedridden.
The bank, on suspecting foul play, alerted the Commission and the matter was investigated leading to their subsequent arraignment on April 19, 2016 on a five -count charge.
