‎The judge, Mohammed Marafa, however, gave the convicts; William Patience, Dickson Haruna, Hans Natoms, Luka Dasen, Pankyes John and John Pricilia, N50,000 option of fine each. Marafa said all the convicts were mature and committed the crime intentionally to cause financial loss to the Federal Republic of Nigeria and gains to themselves. Patience, Haruna, Natoms, Dasen, John, and Pricilia, were convicted and sentenced on charges of a joint act, using forged documents and giving false information.
