Justice Sabiu Yahuza of the Federal High Court, Dutse, found Oizamisi guilty of defrauding a buyer of the sum of N100,000 naira and sentenced him.
The court heard that the accused had in January 2013 advertised a car for sale on the internet which one Abdul-Azeez Abdul-Rahman indicated he wanted to buy.
Oizamisi then negotiated with Abdul-Rahman and demanded the said sum which the latter paid through a new generation.
