(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – An Oyo State High Court in Ibadan, has sentenced one Pastor Odenigbo Theophilus to seven years in prison for defrauding a retiree, Mr Ojo Gbadebo, of the sum of N1 million under false pretence.
Justice Muniru Owolabi found the defendant guilty in a two-hour judgment delivered on Friday in Ibadan.
Owolabi said that the prosecutor had proved the charge of advance fee fraud against the convict beyond reasonable doubt.
The judge said the convict defrauded the retiree under the guise of helping him to invest his N1 million in engine oil business that would yield an interest of N80,000 monthly.
