The  Kaduna Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,  EFCC, has secured the conviction of TikTok music celebrity, Crown Uzama,  and five others before Justice A. A. Isiaka on a separate one-count charge bordering on criminal impersonation, offences contrary to Sections 142  (1), 57 and 308 of the Kaduna Penal Code Law, 2017 and punishable under Section 309 of the same Law.
