Justice Akintunde Abass yesterday at the State High Court
sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State, convicted and sentenced a young man to
three years in jail for obtaining money under wrong pretence and scam
The young man is 24 year old Akinluyi Akintunde who studies Agronomy at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology. Akintunde
was brought to the court on March 13, 2013 to face a two count charge
from obtaining money under false pretence. Specifically, he allegedly
obtained the sum of $450.00 from one Robert Jackson (an American) via
Western Union Money Transfer under a false pretence that he was a lady.
In
his judgment, Justice Abass ordered that the sum of $450 recovered from
the convict be returned to the victim, Robert Jackson through the
United States Consulate as restitution.
Also, he also ordered that
the laptop recovered from the convict in the course of his arrest be
forfeited to the Federal Government.
