92 Years in Prison: Court Punishes Chinese Directors for Cybercrime Operations

During Wednesday’s proceedings, defence counsel Bridget Omateno informed the court that Huang and An had decided to change their pleas from not guilty to guilty.

The court granted the request and directed that the charges be read to them again.After the charges were re-read, the two defendants pleaded guilty, while the third defendant maintained his innocence.

EFCC prosecutor Bilkisu Bala-Buhari urged the court to convict the duo based on their admission of guilt. She noted that the prosecution had already called two witnesses before the change of plea and appealed for maximum sentencing to serve as a deterrent to others.

Justice Osiagor subsequently convicted and sentenced the two men accordingly.
