An internet fraudster, Ademola Adebukola alias “Holy Ghost,”
has been apprehended in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.
A court found him guilty on charges of ‘cheating and attempt
to cheat.’
He was dragged before Justice Adenike Akinpelu by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The learned Judge ignored the self-acclaimed spiritual
status of the accused and sentenced him to six months imprisonment on each of
the counts after he pleaded guilty to the charges.
The sentences are to run concurrently from September 14,
2020.
The court also ordered the forfeiture of the convict’s
iPhone 5 and Dell Laptop, being the instrumentalities used to perpetrate the
crime, to the Federal Government.
The charges read:
