The trial judge, Justice Kudirat Jose, delivering her judgment, said the convicts had returned the N1m to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, as refund to the victim.
The convicts had earlier pleaded not guilty to stealing and conspiracy charge brought against them by the EFCC.

The prosecutor, Mr Ekele Iheanacho, informed the court that the offence was contrary to section 285 (1) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011.
