In the same vein, Justice Omolara Adeyemi of the Oyo State High Court convicted and sentenced Morenikeji to six months’ community service; Abiodun and Taofeek got one week of community service each, as their offences violated Section 484 of the Criminal Code Cap. 38 Laws of Oyo State, 2000.

The courts ordered that the convicts restitute to their victims and forfeit all items recovered from them to the Federal Government.
