The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Lagos Zonal office, on Wednesday, March 20, 2019 secured the conviction and sentencing of one Andrew Aigbedion, an internet fraudster from the Special Offence Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos state and presided over by Justice Sherifat Solebo. Gistvic Reports.

The convict was arraigned on a one-count charge that borders on possession of a fraudulent document. Gistvic Reports.

The count reads, “that you, Andrew Aigbedion (a.k.a Steve) on or about the 5th day of January 2018, at Lagos, within the Ikeja Judicial Division, had in your possession a document wherein you falsely represented yourself to one Anne that you are a widower and originally from Greece and has lived in the United States of America for less than 26 months when you knew or ought to know, having regard to the circumstances of the case, that the document contains false pretence and committed an offence contrary to Section 318 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State No. 11 of 2011.”

The prosecution counsel, Bilkisu Buhari, informed the court that the convict pleaded guilty to charge preferred against him at the last sitting and consequently, moved to review the facts of the case.

According to the prosecution counsel: “Sometime in May 2017, the defendant was arrested by operatives of the EFCC and upon his arrest, he volunteered his statement. In the course of the investigation, he admitted to being into romance scam.

“Upon a forensic analysis into his email address-musicalous@yahoo.com-, documents containing false pretence were printed out. “The defendant impersonated a white man named Steve and confessed to obtaining the sum of $15,000 (Fifteen Thousand United State Dollars) and Seven Million Naira (N7, 000, 000) from unsuspecting members of the public.

“The defendant also admitted to purchasing two exotic cars from the proceeds of crime, which he agreed to forfeit to the Federal Government.”
The prosecution counsel, upon the detailed review of facts, prayed that Aigbedion be convicted as contained in the plea bargain agreement.

The convict’s counsel, however, prayed the court to temper justice with mercy in sentencing his client, stating that he was a first-time offender who had shown remorse and promised to change. Justice Sherifat Solebo found him guilty of the offence and sentenced him to one year imprisonment. His cars were forfeited to the Federal Government. Gistvic Reports.

First to comment...


First time in 9 years

The defendant impersonated a white man named Steve and confessed to obtaining the sum of $15,000 (Fifteen Thousand United State Dollars) and Seven Million Naira (N7, 000, 000) from unsuspecting members of the public.
The defendant also admitted to purchasing two exotic cars from the proceeds of crime, which he agreed to forfeit to the Federal Government.”

Good one.
We need more of this in our nation.
And the EFCC should also step up fast to jail all these CORRUPT and evil politicians that there cases have been pending for years.
In saner climes, Dasuki the ATM would have been placed on the electric chair by now, considering the amount of life he wasted.
And the frog-eyed thief would have been extradited from UK she ran toand spending the remaining years of her thieving life in jail at this point.
EFCC, you need to do more against the political class biko!!

The convict’s counsel, however, prayed the court to temper justice with mercy in sentencing his client, stating that he was a first-time offender who had shown remorse and promised to change.

Some Lawyers are liars sha!
Don't worry, he was lucky to have only one year.
He had fun as long as it all lasted, clubbing, drinking and fornicating.
If you do the crime, you do the time.
Case Closed.
