Court Jails Fake American Officer Two Years for Internet Fraud In Port Harcourt

Justice E. A. Obile of the Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State has convicted and sentenced Chibueze Okenwa (a.k.a Rodriguz), a fake United States of American military officer, to two years imprisonment for impersonation contrary to Section 22 (2)(b)(i & ii) of the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) Act, 2015.

He was initially arraigned on March 4, 2021 by the Port Harcourt Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and pleaded “not guilty” to one-count charge bordering on impersonation with intent to gain monetary advantage for self.

At the resumed hearing of his case on March 18, 2021, Okenwa opted to change his plea. He was re-arraigned and pleaded “guilty” to the one-count charge.

The charge reads: "that you Chibueze okenwa (a.k.a Weirt Rodriguz), in 2020, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, fraudulently impersonated yourself as Weirt Rodriguz, a United State Military Officer to one Katia Massoni from Brazil with intent to gain monetary advantage for yourself and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 22 (2) (b) ( i & ii) of the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) Act, 2015”.

In view of his plea of “guilty”, prosecution counsel, M. Ibekwute urged the court to convict him accordingly. However, defense counsel, J. I. Owubokiri prayed the court to temper justice with mercy.

Justice Obile convicted and sentenced Okenwa to two (2) years imprisonment with an option of fine of Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira (N350,000.00).

The judge also ordered that the phone which was used to commit the crime, (a gold and white-coloured Blu dual Sim smart phone) be forfeited to the Federal Government through disposal by public auction and the proceeds paid into the Treasury Single Account, TSA of the Federal Government.

I don't agree with the judge, the money from the auction should be paid in to his state account not federal government account or let it be returned to America.

Sweet judgment.

Let the government do this to every gboy case. You fit even nackk am 10 years jail plus option of N15m fine from those wey dey handle real money. We all know that apart from the 350k baba go pay, he go still spend pass 800k to walk a free man. If you're worth 25m as a Gboy and dem nack you fine of like 8m, your head go correct small then level up, wiser up,....inside life.

Just pay the fine, go home, buy another phone and start afresh. Be careful this time. Meanwhile, I have an advice for internet fraudsters out there. If you know this is the line you have chosen, once you make small money, travel to Togo or Zambia. Don't stay in Nigeria cuz you won't have peace of mind. You should be a lion in the jungle than be a dog in the city
