Justice Hadiza Suleiman gave the ruling on Monday.
Sultan was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) alongside one Emmanuel Tunde sometime in November 2022 for forging documents in an attempt to defraud a Somali to the tune of $4,661 under the guise of securing a job for him at the United Nations.
Upon arraignment, Emmanuel pleaded guilty and was convicted by the court. Sultan, on the other hand, pleaded not guilty thereby forcing the case to proceed to trial.
However, when the matter came up for a trial, Sultan pleaded guilty to the charges against him.
