A man of God named Emmanuel Markus Anga has been sentenced to 14 years in prison by Justice Abubakar Jauro of Gombe State High Court.
Pastor Anga was sentenced on July 11, 2016 alongside Atin Victor Generous on two count charge bordering on conspiracy and obtaining money by false pretence.
Justice Jauro convicted and sentence the convicts to seven years imprisonment on count one (conspiracy), the sentence are to run-concurrently, and also convicted and sentence Generous to another seven years in count two (obtaining by false pretence), the sentence are to commence on July 11, 2016.
Anga and Generous are alleged to have in November 2013, deceived David Madison, into believing that they were employees of foreign exchange business, Gora Commanding Resources, which they claimed belonged to Philemon Gora, who is still at large.
Madison was lured into believing that his investment of N500,000 would yield him 10% interest as returns on a monthly basis.
He however discovered later that the 10% on his capital reflected on his account only in the first month of his investment, while all the effort to recover his money proved abortive.
While delivering his judgment, Justice Jauro, ordered Generous to restitute N500,000 to the victim.
