Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Special Offences Court in Lagos, sentenced Chima to 18 months in prison.
The convict created social media accounts and presented himself as Larry Pham.
He defrauded mostly female victims to the tune of $166,000 between July 2017 and June 2018.
EFCC swung into action after a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) report on his involvement in computer-related fraud.
Chima was arraigned on December 4, 2020 on charges of cheating, obtaining by false pretence, and retention of proceeds of crime.
Chima pleaded “guilty” to the three-count charge.
Bilikisu Bala Buhari, prosecution counsel, urged the court to deliver justice accordingly.
