After pleading guilty to the charge, Justice Adelaja found Abdulkareem guilty and sentenced him to community service, which will be overseen by the Nigerian Correctional Service. He is also required to forfeit his iPhone 12 Pro and XR to the Federal Government.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, which investigated the matter, stated that the conviction was the result of its sustained efforts to combat cybercrime in the nation.

With this sentence, the EFCC demonstrated its continued commitment to combating financial crimes in all forms.
