A 23 year-old man, Odeyemi Hammed Oluwaseun has been convicted and sentenced to one year imprisonment for internet fraud by Justice Mahmud Abdulgafar of the Kwara State High Court, sitting in Ilorin.
In a statement by head, media and publicity of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Dele Oyewale, he said that 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.
The statement also said that the convict, a self-styled spiritualist, was prosecuted by the Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on a two-count charge that bordered on internet fraud, impersonation, and obtaining by pretenses.
