A Lagos Special Offences Court has sentenced businessman Bernard Nzenwa to four years and 11 months in prison for issuing false documents.
Nzenwa, along with his company Omega Maritime and Energy Ltd, was charged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for presenting a fraudulent bond document, claiming it was from Guaranty Trust Bank.
Justice R.A. Oshodi ruled that the prosecution proved the case beyond reasonable doubt, finding Nzenwa guilty of false documents and fraudulent intent. He was also given the option of a N50 million fine, while his company was fined an additional N50 million.
