The Kwara State High Court in Ilorin has sentenced a 34-year-old graduate of Agricultural Science, Kelvin Monye, to six months imprisonment for internet romance scam.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) stated in a tweet via its verified account, Monday, that the trial judge, Mahmood Abdulgafar, ordered the convict to forfeit N460,000 and other valuables suspected to be proceeds of the crime to the Federal Government.
EFCC had preferred two charges against the convict alleging that he sometime in June 2018 fraudulently presented himself as a white male named Hassan via his email address to one Louise Evan “and induced her to send you $1000 in gift cards.”
