Malaysia-based popular Lagos Yahoo boy, Hope Olusegun Aroke, popularly called H-Money and referred to as “Oracle to gba ise wole,”has been sentenced to 24 years imprisonment by Justice Lateefa Okunnu of the Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja, for his involvement in an internet scam that fetched him N25million.

The major song which set the tone for this abnormal norm was rapper, Reminisce’s 2012 hit “2 Mush” where he praise-sang his’waya waya’ fans hailing him…”H Money Honorable to’n gbe ise wole.”

The 25-year old is an undergraduate of Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University, Malaysia. He was arraigned by EFCC on a two-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence, cheque cloning, wire transfer and forgery. The court found him guilty of the two charges and sentenced him to 12 years imprisonment on each of the two counts.

Trouble came for Aroke when an anonymous petitioner wrote to the EFCC alleging that the Kogi-born undergraduate was involved in online fraudulent activities. The EFCC investigated the internet dealings of Aroke.

Investigations showed that he was involved in several romance scam that fetched him N25million. Hope admitted sending the money to Nigeria through a person identified as Angela, who later helped him deposit in a bank.

He was arrested at the 1004 estate, Lagos Island and 2 Benz cars valued at N23 million were recovered from him. Last week, Justice Okunnu ruled that the sentence should run concurrently.

Meanwhile, Hope has two other matters yet undecided before Justice B. Idris of the Federal High Court Lagos.

Serve him right......maybe he will learn to lay low next time..... Doing illegal business and still pronouncing it as if its a thing of pride.

Everyday 4 d thief, 1 day for d owner. "Oracle to gba ise wo kirikiri"

Yahoo plus

good for him.
upon all the riches, he's still looking lyk a meruwa

Nawa for some peeps from a particular region of this country..

Too bad

If this real hustler could be sentence to 24years in jail for 25million naira scam..
How many years will dasuki use in that same jail?

Hope really f up, why can't he just laylow

Meanwhile tinubu saraki and d rest who milked d country hard are free men

He will be out at age 49 smh!

But where is lalasticlala sef

The judgment is not a fait accompli. Of course he will appeal it all the way to the Supreme Court. By the time he exhausts his legal options and right of appeal , the case would have gone cold.

Personally, I have no immediate interest in seeing him imprisoned. Afterall he is not a threat to the peace, security, and wellbeing of the Nigerian public.

Let's face priorities.

oooo

In wizkid's voice (Bi isu eni ba de le, afowo boje ni). He is the architect of his misfortune. Opa six go don run commot I trust that one

Lolz... U have no idea how jail term works... He's to run d 24years Concurrently...Meaning it's 12years... Also, in a correctional facility/Prison, a day is 12hrs only...Meaning 24hrs is TWO days... Meaning dat he wil spend 6years in Incarceration...That's if he doesn't buy his way Out...

Fools this not H money o....awon weyrey

have u been to jail and prison before?

A certain tribe from a certain part of this country has decided that 419 and money rituals are the only thing their youths must do to survive.

But it's all good at least they have something doing.

Please, Hope Olusegun, greet Citizen Nnamdi Kanu in prison.. While you await your spoke in the axs type of execution ask him to pray for you.. We had he is very spiritual.

I'm sure 25 million was the deal that busted this guy, he must have ran something way bigger in the past, it's a sad one tho, the real looters are still walking freely and making laws

Life goes on .... Struggle continues ....

Doubt if that was the scam that landed this dude in hot sh*t. Dude is way more expensive than a shitty 25M

That's the only thing they know how to do. Come to US, if you meet a Yoruba that's not a 419, call me a fool. I went to a Yoruba restaurant 5 months ago thinking at least they legit business....only to find out few months later that those people were taking money out of my debit card Evey fucking week. Every week they were taking money for 5 months straight. Those people are disgusting m never trust them with your money, they'll scam you out of every penny you have

Fantastic. Its amazing how some of those who call themselves the leaders of tomorrow are asking why the guy didn't laylow

Why so much pain? this is the tradition in NL and Igbos and Yorubas are the keepers of this tradition.
