The two Nigerians are said to be roommates at William Carey University and were arrested after they were found guilty of committing internet crimes.
According to the report on Aclsports, the duo was convicted before US District Judge Kristi Johnson in Mississippi and would be sentenced on February 15, 2023.
Ineh and Adebakin are said to have confessed to the crimes being accused of and have also pleaded for mercy in the judgment they will be served next year.
These two Nigerians are also said to have made thousands of US dollars illegally on the internet through dating scams and false pretenses. Ineh, a promising long and triple jumper, and Adebakin, a 400m and 200m runner are facing a maximum of 10 years imprisonment for their crimes. This could affect or bring an end to their career in athletics as going to prison for 10 years will definitely be a huge setback.
