An Ilorin High Court has sentenced a fake spiritualist, Odeyemi Hammed Oluwaseun, to a year imprisonment for internet fraud.

Justice Mahmud Abdulgafar of the Kwara State High Court, sitting in Ilorin, on Wednesday convicted and sentenced Oluwaseun, who was prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on a two-count charge that bordered on internet fraud, impersonation and obtaining by false pretences.

Count one of the charge reads, “That you, Odeyemi Hammed Oluwaseun, sometime in December, 2023 in Ilorin, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, dishonestly induced one Bose to send $3200.00, worth of gift cards to you, with the impression that the same would be used to diabolically influence her ex-husband to return and marry her, while you pretended and represented yourself to be one Lord Hill, a female spiritualist with email account hillor674@gmail.com, and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 321 of the Penal Code and punishable under Section 324 of the same Penal Code.”

Count two read, “That you, Odeyemi Hammed Oluwaseun, between August, 2023 to September, 2023 in Ilorin within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, dishonestly induced one Schneider Alina to send $4,500.00 worth of gift cards to you, with the impression that the same would be used to diabolically control her ex-boyfriend to return and marry her, while you represented yourself to be a female spiritualist with Instagram account _Visions_by_Tendo_12 and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 321 of the Penal Code and punishable under Section 324 of the same Penal Code.”

Oluwaseun pleaded guilty to the charges when they were read to him, following which prosecution counsel, Sesan Ola reviewed the facts of the case, tendered the convict’s extra-judicial statements and evidence, including the sum of $1,000 recovered from him and prayed the court to convict and sentence him as charged.

The trial judge, Justice Abdulgafar, convinced that the prosecution had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt, sentenced Oluwaseun to six months suspended jail term on each of the two counts, and ordered that the sum of $1,000, iPhone 15 and 2008 Toyota Camry car recovered from him be forfeited to the Federal Government.

Oluwaseun, who hails from Oyo State, defrauded his victims on the internet by posing as an American-based female spiritualist with powers to cause jilted women and estranged wives to regain the affection of their men.

This looks like a fake crime to me. Is the EFCC arguing that there are real spiritualists on the Internet?

Leave the boy na Local Wire e run na

Good one! These so called spiritualists are the players behind the scene. For every yahoo boy ritualist caught, their conspirators aka spiritualists should be traced, arrested with their shrine destroyed..

The above would go a long way in minimizing ritualistic activities in the country...

One year imprisonment too small

It be tins

So people still fall for these scammers?

Religion and the belief in spirits is one of the worst afflictions ever inflicted on mankind. Those people who argue for this scam belief are either lost or outright wicked and evil.

What a monumental shame

Name Checkers Association Of Nairaland are not disappointed. It is always them.

Criminalities runs in their DNA.

Thanks for this.

See, the intellect and spirit aren't free on the African continent. You'll see someone with PhD on the African continent still believing on the efficacy of jazz.

I don't know how to get Africans understand that there's no spirit behind jazz, in fact, what you just read is the real jazz. It's about how you control the psychology of the so called client

No mind dem. Dem don learn bad things 😢

They should let those who thrive on crimes in Malaysia, SA, India, etc continue while they focus on ethical ways of making money.

These boys should leave fraud to the scam and drugs dealing region, they just won't listen.

It's obvious the government needs to step in and start monitoring churches, mosques and everything to do with spirituality in the country. A lot of people are hiding under spirituality to commit unimaginable atrocities

OK


Many people like to be Decieved ,



this is the result,

Evidently you misread the OP, it read six months suspended jail term, which means that if he promises to be a good boy for six months then not only will he not spend a day in jail but the record of his conviction will be expunged. Talk about a sweetheart deal if there ever was one.

No sir.
IGNORANCE, LACK OF FORESIGHT and LACK OF INNOVATION with an unteachable spirit is the biggest affliction that could befall a man.

Gbegirians again!
