The convicts were arrested on November 15, 2018 by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, following intelligence reports on their fraudulent activities. They were accordingly arraigned by the Ibadan Zonal Office of the Commission on December 11, 2018 on three and one-count charges respectively.
They opted for a plea bargain and pleaded guilty to an amended lone-count charge that was subsequently filed against them.

The one against Tijani reads: "That you Tijani Babatunde (a.k.a Isabel Wood, Sutter Hather Ann) sometime in 2018, at Abeokuta within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, knowingly sent a pornographic and indecent pictures with your e-mail isabelwood7501@gmail.com, through a computer system and network to Jesus Gonzales and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 24(1)(a) and punishable under Section 24(1)(b) of the Cyber Crimes (Prohibition, Prevention Etc) Act, 2015."
Considering the terms of the plea bargain, Justice Abubakar sentenced Sarafadeen to four months imprisonment with effect from the date of his arraignment, while Tijani’s sentencing took effect from the date of his arrest.
The court also ordered that Tijani forfeits one iphone X, one iphone 5, one Macbook Air Laptop and one Toyota Camry Car to the Federal Government of Nigeria, being proceeds of crime.
