A Nigerian gospel singer Evangelist Jacob Kunle Ajomale was jailed in the United States of America after he committed a fraud related offence, has learnt.

According to a press statement from the U.S. Department of Justice, Ajomale was sentenced to six months imprisonment and two years supervised release for making false statement while applying for a United States passport.
