 So Linus Williams (Blord) has been released from Kuje prison after fulfilling his bail conditions, finally, freedom after a few weeks in custody. However, here’s the current position of his case:  He is still expected to show up and stand his trial.  If he fails to appear in court even for one day, his bail can be revoked and a bench warrant may be issued against him, meaning a return to Kuje. If the prosecution cannot prove the charges against him, he will be discharged and acquitted. If the prosecution proves the charges, he may be sentenced and sent back to Kuje. I think he should seek a peaceful resolution to the case. Congrats to him on his freedom for now.

Court Jails Graduate One Year For Dating Scam In Lagos


Justice  Deinde I. Dipeolu of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Monday, January 22, 2024  convicted and sentenced one Ohaguim Ifeayin Emmanuel to one year imprisonment for dating scam.


Emmanuel, a graduate of Computer Science from Chukwuemeka Odumegwu  University, Uli,  Anambra State , was arraigned by the Lagos Zonal  Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on January 19, 2024, on  two-count charges bordering on cybercrime.


One of the counts reads: “That you, Ohaguim Ifeayin Emmanuel,  sometime in October, 2023, in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, with intent to gain advantage for yourself, fraudulently impersonated one "Benjamin Valdez" by holding yourself out as such on your Google Account and you thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 22(2) (b) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc) Act, 2015.”


He pleaded “guilty” to the  charges when they were read to him. Following his guilty plea,  prosecution counsel, A.S. Wara, called on Usman Ahmed, an operative of the EFCC, to  review the facts of the case .


Usman told the court that the defendant was arrested sometime in October, 2023, following  credible intelligence  received by the Commission on the activities of some internet fraudsters operating in Fine County  Estate, Orchid Road, Lekki, Lagos State.  According to him, an iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone XR, iPhone X and Mercedez Benz C300 were recovered from him at the point of arrest.


"Upon his arrest, he was duly processed and the defendant volunteered his statements.  Investigations were conducted and forensic evidence were printed out from his phone.  In his statement, he confessed he was into dating scam.  Wara further told the court that the defendant confessed to have benefited 950 USD and N3.2m from his involvement in the criminal activity.


Wara ,therefore, sought to tender, in evidence, the defendant’s extrajudicial statements, some items recovered from him: iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone XR, iPhone X and forensic investigation documents print out.


They were all admitted as exhibits by the court.


Justice Dipeolu, consequently, convicted and sentenced him to one year imprisonment, with an option of fine of N200,000( Two Hundred Thousand Naira).


The Judge also ordered that the mobile phones  and Mercedes Benz C300 recovered from him be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
