The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, #EFCC, Ibadan zonal office on Wednesday, May 22, 2019 secured the conviction of four internet fraudsters.

The convicts are: Olatunji Samod Oladimeji (a.k.a Theresa), Stephen Ayoola Ogunmefun (a.k.a Michael Schwarz), Adekanmbi Abdulazeez and Tella Adefemi Ibrahim.

The anti-graft commission had dragged them before Justices Ibrahim Watilat and Mohammed Abubakar respectively sitting in Federal High Court 1 and 2, Abeokuta, Ogun State.

They were accused of sending pornographic and indecent pictures, and fraudulent representation. The offences are contrary to Section 22 (2) and punishable under Section 22 (2)(b)(iv) of Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention Etc) Act 2015.

They all pleaded “guilty” to their respective charges.

The prosecuting lawyers, Murtala Usman and Abdulrasheed Lanre Suleman, urged the court to accept the plea bargain and convict them accordingly.

Justice Watilat pronounced Ogunmefun and Abdulazeez guilty and sentenced each to five months in prison.

While Abdulazeez was ordered to refund $200, Ogunmefun will pay back to his victims sums of €800 (Eight Hundred Euros) and $75. All the payments will be made through the Federal Government of Nigeria as restitution to the victims. They are also to forfeit all the items recovered from them by the commission.

Equally, Justice Abubarkar jailed Tella and Olatunji for two and three months, respectively.

He also gave the order that Tella forfeits a sum of N1 million, a Honda Accord car, one HP Laptop, one IPhone 8 and One Samsung X9 recovered from him.

Besides the jail term, Olatunji is to restitute the total sum of $700 and £50 (Fifty British Pounds) and also forfeit his One Infinix Note 4, one black Dell Laptop and One silver HP Laptop.

Good, I suggest prison officials bring them out once in a while to cut bushy grasses, mow lawns and and other menial jobs around the city so their friends can see them and serve as examples.

EFCC is a stupid hypocritical organization.

See them jailing young people because of $200 but when I went to their office to report a landlady who tried to scam me of about 500k naira they said they only handle cases worth millions and advised me to contact the police.

They are specialists in jailing the youths who are not harming the country but they will never go after the politicians looting the country dry.
