    The charge against Oluwafemi reads: “that you Adeniyi Rufus Oluwafemi (m) sometimes in February, 2021 at Benin City within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court knowing that one Mrs. Faith Usman designed to commit or was committing a felony, failed to use all reasonable mean to prevent the commission thereof and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 515 of the Criminal Code Act CAP 48 Laws of Bendel State of Nigeria (As applicable in Edo State) 1976”.

    The charge against Omoreboghae reads: “that you William Imore Omoreboghae (m) sometimes in June, 2020 at Benin City, Edo State within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court with intent to defraud did falsely represented yourself to be William Zurg Rice and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 484 of the Criminal Code Cap 48 Laws of Bendel State of Nigeria (As applicable in Edo State) 1976”.

    Upon arraignment, the trio pleaded guilty to their respective charge.
