EFCC, on Wednesday, May 30, 2018, secured the conviction and sentencing of an Internet fraudster, Oluwatobiloba Badejo, before Justice O.A. Williams of the State High court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos.

Count one reads: “That you, Oluwatobiloba Badejo (aka Lynda Andrew) on or about the 20th of March, 2016, by false pretence and with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of N52, 937.53 from one Manuel Alberto Rama Carracedo by falsely representing to him that you are a woman with the name Lynda Andre.”

Count two reads: 


“That you, Oluwatobiloba Badejo ( aka Lynda Andrew) on or about the 13thof June 2016 at Lagos, by false pretence and with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of N72, 000 from one Manuel Alberto Rama Carracedo by falsely representing to him that you are a woman with the name Lynda Andrew.”

He pleaded guilty to the charge preferred against him after initially entering a plea bargain with the Commission to refund the money and also forfeit to the FG, a Dell laptop computer, which he used “as the instrumentality of fraud.”.
Delivering his judgment, Justice Williams found the defendant guilty on both counts and sentenced him to one-year imprisonment.
