    Justice O.A. Okunuga of the Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja has convicted and sentenced one Adebambo Fawas Olamilekan to one year imprisonment for internet fraud.

    Dele Oyewale, EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity disclosed this in a statement signed on Thursday.

    Olamilekan was arraigned on April 3, 2025 by the Lagos Zonal Directorate 1 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Awolowo Office, Ikoyi, Lagos, on a two-count charge bordering on possession of documents containing false pretence and cheating, contrary to Sections 320 and 323 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

    One of the counts reads: “That you, Adebambo Fawas Olamilekan, on or about 14th May, 2024 at Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, had in your possession documents, where you falsely represented yourself as a female, which were printed from your iPhone 13 pro, and which documents you knew or ought to have known contained false pretence and committed an offence contrary to 320 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.”

    He pleaded guilty to the charge when it was read to him.

    In view of his plea, the prosecution counsel, O.Daramola, reviewed the facts of the case and tendered some documents as well as the defendant’s confessional statement.

    Daramola also urged the court to convict him as charged.

    Delivering judgment on Tuesday, Justice Okunuga found him guilty and sentenced him to one year imprisonment, with an option of fine in the sum of One Million Naira.

    The judge also ordered that his iPhone device as well as a Zenith Bank managers cheque of N100,000.00 be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
