From all that I have said in respect of the fifth ingredient of the offence
charged, I hold that the prosecution has proved beyond reasonable doubt
that the defendants had the intention to defraud the PW1.
CONCLUSION
All said, I hold that the prosecution has proved beyond reasonable doubt
the charges in counts 1 and 2. The verdict of the Court is that defendants,
Nwaotole Frank and The Light Maritime Limited, are guilty of the charges
of obtaining money by false pretence in counts 1 and 2, contrary to section
1[1][a] of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act
and punishable under section 1[3] of the same Act.
