The Lagos State Special Offences Court has sentenced one Olaniyi Ogungbaiye to five years’ imprisonment for his involvement in N9.2m internet scam.
Ogungbaiye was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on four counts bordering on conspiracy, obtaining money by false pretence, retaining stolen property and transfer of property derived from an illegal act before Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo.
According to the EFCC, the commission received a petition sometime in 2018 from the Federal Bureau of Investigation requesting for an investigation into the activities of Ogungbaiye and his co-conspirators, Olarenwaju Osiefa and Daniel Ethan, in respect to a dating and business email compromise scam.
