, to 30 days imprisonment having found him guilty of offences bordering on romance scam and Internet fraud.
A statement signed by Ayodele Babatunde, Head of Media and Publicity of EFCC in the zone said that upon arrest, Gideon was profiled and volunteered statements, admitting to committing the crime. In his confessional statement dated May 6, 2021, Gideon admitted that he engaged in dating scam, love scam, and other internet fraud related offences.
Count one of the charge reads, “That you, Oke Gideon between August 2020 and September 2020 in Ilorin defrauded and obtained $150 worth gift from one Bradley Miller under false pretense that he is Jenna Cherry, a white female from Las Vegas, United States of America, which you knew to be false. Following his plea, counsel to the EFCC, Sesan Ola, led one Sarah Audu, an operative of the Commission who narrated how Gideon was arrested based on actionable intelligence on the activities of internet fraudsters operating within Ilorin metropolis.
Would they have jailed him if he was a bandit or member of ISWAP? NO. Nigerian Court is openly pushing the youths to carry arms. Not to worry, game is loading.
Very Good
