A 39-year-old internet fraudster, Abada Bourdillion, was on Wednesday sentenced to three months imprisonment having been found guilty of criminal impersonation. The convict who had earlier pleaded not guilty to the initial charge approached the Commission for a plea bargain. Due to the agreement on the terms of the plea bargain, the EFCC re-arraigned him on Wednesday on a one-count charge of criminal impersonation. He pleaded guilty to the latter charge as presented to the Court by the Prosecution Counsel, Shamsudeen Bashir. Bourdillon, however, found favour before the presiding judge who slammed him with three months instead of the five months proposed in the document before the court.
