The convict was prosecuted by the Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on two counts that bordered on internet fraud, impersonation and obtaining by false pretence.

 

The Head of Media and Publicity, EFCC, Dele Oyewale, in a statement on Thursday, January 16, said that Oluwaseun, who hails from Oyo State, allegedly defrauded his victims on the internet by posing as an American-based female spiritualist with powers to cause jilted women and estranged wives to regain the affection of their men.

 

Count one of the charges read, “That you, Odeyemi Hammed Oluwaseun, sometime in December 2023 in Ilorin, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, dishonestly induced one Bose to send $3,200 (Three thousand, two hundred dollars) worth of gift cards to you, with the impression that the same would be used to diabolically influence her ex-husband to return and marry her, while you pretended and represented yourself to be one Lord Hill, a female spiritualist with email account ‘hillor674@gmail.com,’ and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 321 of the Penal Code and punishable under Section 324 of the same Penal Code.”

 

Count two read, “That you, Odeyemi Hammed Oluwaseun, between August 2023 to September 2023 in Ilorin, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, dishonestly induced one Schneider Alina to send $4,500 (Four thousand, five hundred dollar) worth of gift cards to you, with the impression that the same would be used to diabolically control her ex-boyfriend to return and marry her, while you represented yourself to be a female spiritualist with Instagram account _Visions_by_Tendo_12 and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 321 of the Penal Code and punishable under Section 324 of the same Penal Code.”

 

When the charges were read to him, Oluwaseun pleaded guilty to the charges, following which the prosecution counsel, Sesan Ola, reviewed the facts of the case, tendered the convict’s extra-judicial statements and evidence, including the sum of $1,000 recovered from him, and prayed the court to convict and sentence him as charged.

 

Convinced that the prosecution had proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt, Justice Abdulgafar sentenced Oluwaseun to a six-month suspended jail term on each of the counts and ordered that the sum of $1,000, an iPhone 15 and a 2008 Toyota Camry car recovered from him be forfeited to the Federal Government.
