Romance Scam: Man loses money to Facebook girl

By Adeola Badru, Ibadan

A middle-aged man (name withheld), who is resident in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, has been duped of a large sum of money (undisclosed) by a lady he met on Facebook, who failed to deliver on her promise to visit him.

The lady, who goes by the name “Ara Ire” on Facebook, but whose real name is Mercy Adeseye, convinced the man that she was interested in a romantic relationship with him and asked for money to cover her travel expenses.

After he sent her money, according to him, she never showed up and stopped communicating with him.

Narrating his ordeal to Vanguard, the man said, ‘Ara Ire’ who is a student of Crestfield College of Health Technology, Erin Osun, Osun State, had not met him in person, but relied solely on their online interactions.

He added that: “I was conned by a scammer who used Facebook to lie to me. She told me she would visit me, but it was all a ploy to get my money.”

“I feel violated and betrayed. I should have been more cautious, but I got caught up in the fantasy of what she was promising me.”

“Once I sent the money to her, she disappeared and stopped communicating with me,” he said.

Bayelsa Guber: They Are Killing Us With Siren, Traders Lament High Frequency Of Convoys Causing Noise Pollution
Food vendors and petty traders around Ekeki Park in the city of Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital, Thursday, told THE WHISTLER that ‘our ogas are back and want to kill us with siren’.

They were complaining about the high frequency of convoys of security operatives and politicians having their respective agenda ahead of the guber poll coming on Saturday in the state.
Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi are among the states belonging to off-season election status, because they do not belong to the election timetable of the generality of other states of the federation.
“After this election,” said a middle-aged woman called Aunty Rice, “you will never see them again. They come from Abuja, Lagos, Port-Harcourt, Europe and Asia seeking our votes. They give money. Once they win or lose election, the next time you hear from them is the next four years. But my headache is the noise they are making.”

Dafe, a Keke rider, told our correspondent that, “The siren is becoming too much. If we have this kind of security in Bayelsa State, why do we still have insecurity at Nembe, Ekeremuo, Brass, Ijaw south? Since yesterday, to hear word in Bayelsa is a problem. And their drivers drive as if nobody is a human being.”

A survey carried out by our reporter showed that the November 11 guber race is between incumbent governor Dịrị Douye of the Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressives Congress’ Timipre Sylva. The result is based on flags, t-shirt and billboard displays across the state.
However, a political analyst, Cyprain Ossai, said, “Surprises will spring up. Don’t rule out upsets. It happened during the general elections in 2023. People may not like to vote for PDP and APC for obvious reasons. With free and fair exercise, both prominent parties will lose. We are at the mercy of INEC in any case.”

He pleaded guilty to the two-count charges when they were read to him.

In view of his plea, prosecuting counsel, M. Abubakar after presenting a witness, prayed the court to convict and sentence him accordingly. However, defence counsel, N. F. Okemini prayed the court to temper justice with mercy, stressing that the defendant “is a first-time offender with no previous criminal records and a student who is currently writing his exams.” She therefore prayed d the court for an option of fine in lieu of imprisonment to enable him continue his education.

Justice Ajoku convicted and sentenced the defendant to one year in the Correctional Service on each count with an option of fine of Two Hundred Thousand Naira (N200,000.00), payable into the Consolidated Revenue Account of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Justice I.O. Ijelu of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos has convicted and sentenced one Anana Keneth Emeka to 16 years imprisonment for computer-related fraud.

Emeka was arrested at his residence on 567, Road 21, Mayfair Garden Estate, Awoyaya, Lagos State, following investigations into the alleged criminal activities of one Osondu Victor Igwilo, a leader of a criminal network “catcher”, who had been on the watch list of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, since 2018 until his arrest by operatives of the EFCC on Thursday, March 11, 2022.

The convict was first arraigned on three-count charges on June 7, 2022 and subsequently re-arraigned, on December 28, 2022, on eight-count amended charges bordering on possession of fraudulent documents, forgery, giving of false information and impersonation.

Count one reads: "Ajana Kenneth Emeka, sometime in 2022 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, with intent to defraud, had in your possession fraudulent documents titled 'THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY' in the name of 'HANY A.O. SALMAN HALIMA' which representation was printed from your phone, representation you knew or ought to have known to be fraudulent."

Count two reads: "Ajana Kenneth Emeka, sometime in 2022 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, with intent to defraud, had in your possession fraudulent documents wherein you falsely represented yourself as 'Christopher Dods Named' to unsuspecting members of the public, which representation was printed from your phone, representation you knew or ought to have known to be fraudulent."

Count three reads: "Ajana Kenneth Emeka, sometime in 2018 in Lagos within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, with intent to defraud, knowingly forged a document titled 'FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA NATIONAL DRIVERS LICENCE' with L/N APP40679AA79 issued in the name of EMEKA NWAGU which you purported to have been issued by the Federal Road Safety Commission."

The defendant pleaded “not guilty” to the charges preferred against him.

In the course of the trial, the prosecution called witnesses, including an FBI representative, EFCC investigation officers as well as an EFCC forensic expert who carried out analyses on the defendant’s mobile device.

The prosecution also tendered several documents that were admitted in evidence against the defendant by the court. However, in the course of tendering the extra-judicial statement of the defendant, defence counsel, C. Obieze, SAN objected to the extra-judicial statement of the defendant on grounds of voluntariness.
Consequently, the Judge ordered a trial-within-trial and the extra-judicial statement of the defendant was, thereafter, admitted in evidence. After the prosecution had closed its case, the defendant took to the dock to defend himself and also denied all the charges against him.

Delivering judgment on October 3, 2023, Justice Ijelu held that the prosecution proved the eight counts against him beyond reasonable doubt, and declared him guilty as charged on all the counts.

He was, consequently, sentenced to two years on counts one to three each, with an option of fine of N250,000; two years on count four, with an option of fine of N300,000; two years on count five, with an option of fine of N250,000; two years on count six, with an option of fine of N250,000; and two years on counts seven and eight each, with an option of fine of N300,000.

The fines are to be paid within 30 days, otherwise, he will serve out the prison terms.

The Judge further ordered the forfeiture of items and property recovered from him, including one Samsung Galaxy mobile device as well as the house located at 567, Road 21, Mayfair Garden Estate, Awoyaya, Lagos to the Federal Government of Nigeria on behalf of his victims.
