A Federal High Court in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on Friday found Henry Asuquo guilty on a two-count charge of impersonation, cybercrime and fraud.
Mr Asuquo, who had been parading himself as a soldier to defraud people, was prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He was arraigned by the anti-craft agency following a petition from a victim whom he fraudulently withdrew N700,000 from her FCMB bank account by swapping her phone SIM card.
The convict, despite admitting to the crime and having refunded N100,000 to the victim, initially pleaded not guilty to the charges, according to a statement by the EFCC.
