A four-year sentence was yesterday handed to a Nigerian national who was fingered in an almost $3 million airplane ticket scam.
The jail term was delivered to Bab Razakie by Magistrate Annette Singh after he was read ten counts of fraudulent conversion.
Razakie, 36, pleaded guilty to defrauding Muneshwer’s Travel Service of more than $2.5 million by using an American Express card issued in the name of Alclara Adolino.
It is alleged that on January 19, at Georgetown, with intent to defraud, the defendant obtained from Rihanna Payne, a sales representative at Muneshwer’s Travel Service, a Gol Airlines ticket for Bab Razakie, valued at US$3,710 by virtue of the Alcara Adolino American Express card, knowing same to be forged.
