The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Benin Zonal Office on Wednesday, June 19, 2019, secured the conviction of Osaghale ThankGod (a.k.a James Lee Chan) before Justice A. A. Demi-Ajayi of the Federal High Court sitting in Benin, Edo State for offences bordering on fraudulent impersonation and intent to defraud.

ThankGod was arraigned on a one count charge of fraudulently impersonating the identity of Richard Choi through the internet by sending the picture of Susan Chan, an American woman with the intent to obtain money contrary to Section (22)(2)(b)(1)(ii) of the Cyber Crime (prohibition prevention etc) Act 2015 and punishable under Section 22(b)(IV) of same Act.

The charge reads: "That you Osaghale ThankGod (aka James Lee Chan) sometime between 2018 and 2019 at Uromi, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did fraudulently impersonate the identity of Richard Choi by sending an American picture of Susan Chan, a woman in America through the internet which picture and identity you claimed to be your own with the intent to obtain money from her and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section (22)(2)(b)(ll) of the Cybercrimes (prohibition prevention etc)Act,2015 and punishable under 22(b)(iv) of the same Act."

ThankGod pleaded guilty to the charge when it was read to him.

Upon his plea, the prosecution counsel, Arumemi Moses prayed the court to convict and sentence the defendant based on the plea bargain agreement between the prosecution and the defendant.

Justice Demi-Ajayi consequently sentenced the defendant to six months imprisonment and a fine of N1 million.

Fcking shiiiithole


Half of the budget of the shiiithole should be


channeled to building more prisons, prison camps and mausoleums


because jailing the youths and continuous loss of lives is the only achievement


the present shiiit government can boast of.




spits.

A fine young man full of greed and deceit. Before now, he would have been intimidating his peers with the proceeds from fraudulent activities.

If you must cheat, make sure you cheat death, not people. If you must lie, then lie down to sleep, but don’t lie to people. If you need to beg, then beg God for forgiveness, don’t beg people for money. And if you must boast, boast only of God’s love for you.

Ethics and value system is key to a sane society!
Re: Court Sentences Yahoo Boy To Six Months In Jail by Nobody: 8:53pm On Jun 19, 2019
Why are young men like this wasting their precious time coin nothing let's check the facts;

Anyone who's into internet fraud cannot run any business competently. No matter how much they put into it. Their spending pattern is greatly different from business people. that's to say they can't save. anytime the system outsmarts their fraudulent act, they are left with nothing. imagine habit a family to cater for with no tangible source of income.

The best is to hustle legally to lay a foundation. Even if you don't get to drive the best cars now,if your foundation is right, someday your seeds would rule the earth.

You will work hard but locusts will eat them up and canker worm will invade thy income. Thy labor shall be in vain and your sweat shall be very salty. Then I will be glad to shove it up my ass. How about that?

The curse is yours not mine, you've written down with the indelible ink what exactly your desire in life. It's your choice. It's the product and fruit of your heart.

See to it yourself.
