Man Bags One Year for $5,000 Fraud

Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Special Offence court, Ikeja, Lagos has sentenced one Abdulrauf Alade Owolabi to one year imprisonment for possessing false documents and obtaining money by false pretence to the tune of $5,000 (Five Thousand US Dollars).

The convict was arraigned on a two-count charge by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Lagos Zonal Office on Thursday, February 6, 2020, following his arrest in connection with a case reported against him during a field operation tagged “Operation Rewired” jointly carried out by the EFCC and the Federal Bureau of Investigations, FBI.

One of the counts reads: “That you, Abdulrauf Alade Owolabi, sometime in 2018 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of the court, and with intent to defraud, represented yourself as Courtney Lopez and defrauded one John Howard, an American Citizen, an aggregate sum of $5,000 (Five Thousand US Dollars) under the pretext that you are in love with him and made a promise of marriage, a representation you knew to be fraud and committed an offence contrary to Sections 1 (3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related Offences Act No: 14 of 2006.”
