The charge against him reads: “That you, Emuze Omosigho sometime in 2019 at Kaduna within the jurisdiction of the High Court of Kaduna State, did with intent to defraud attempted to commit an offence to wit: Cheating against one Julia Munoz of Lubbock, Texas, Martha French and Brenda Davis by sending them scam mails using your Instagram, FaceBook and plenty of phishing e-mail addresses posing as one Thomas Brooks, with the aim of obtaining financial benefit for yourself and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 57 of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law, 2017 and punishable under the same Section.”
The Head Media and Publicity of the Commission, Tony Orilade said, the convict alongside his other conspirators forged and impersonated documents purportedly emanating from different organisations where they claimed to be Engineers and members of other reputable occupation.

The Judge, Justice Darius Khobo was thereafter, sentenced him to one year in prison with an option of N100,000 fine.
