count. The sentence is to run concurrently.

According to the judge, the convicts will serve the
seven-year term at Okere Prisons in Warri, Delta State, after completing the
ten years sentence they are currently serving for illegal banking.

 It would be recalled
that Abrefera and Okpogu were on January 7, 2013, convicted and sentenced to
ten (10) years imprisonment by Justice I. N. Buba of the Federal High Court
Asaba, on a 4-count charge, for operating a wonder bank called Mustard Seed
Micro Investment Limited.

According to the prosecutor, Mr. G. K. Latona, “the
convicts are still answering to other charges at Otor-Udu High Court for
related offences.
