 No good deed goes unpunished.  A Florida sea tow captain saved a man from a burning ship only to be shoved overboard and have his boat stolen. This shocking incident occurred near Marco Island on March 6th. On that date, a call went out regarding a burning boat. The captain of a sea tow boat heard the distress call and rushed to provide aid. He was able to quickly locate the burning boat and  discovered 40-year-old, Ryan Deiter, and his dog onboard the burning ship. Wasting no time, the captain of the sea tow boat was able to maneuver alongside the distressed boat and begin efforts to extricate Deiter and his dog from the doomed vessel.  Eventually, the sea tow captain was able to pull both Deiter and his dog onboard the tow boat. However, once Deiter was pulled to safety, he repaid a stranger's kindness with treachery.  Deiter shoved the captain from his own boat and fled the scene in the stolen boat, leaving the man who had just risked his own vessel and life...

 Court Jails Internet Fraudster in Lagos

 

Justice  C. J. Aneke  of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, has convicted and sentenced one  Solomon Martins to one year imprisonment for romance scam.

He was arraigned by the Lagos Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on a two-count charge.


One of the counts reads: “That you, Solomon Martins on or about the 1st day of December, 2022, in Lagos within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, with intent to gain advantage for yourself, fraudulently impersonated one 'John Scott' white military male from London, United Kingdom, by holding yourself out as such to unsuspecting members of the public via Gmail correspondence 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.O. Mohammed, called on Suleiman Aminu an operative of the EFCC, to review the facts of the case.


Suleiman, told the court that the defendant was arrested sometime in February 2024, following credible intelligence  received by the Commission on the activities of some internet fraudsters operating at the Lekki axis of Lagos.  He also told the court that an iPhone 11 was recovered from him at the point of arrest.

 

"In his statement, he confessed he was into dating scam and benefited the sum of $1,200," he said. The prosecution, sought to tender, in evidence, his extrajudicial statements, iPhone 11, bank draft of N100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Naira) and forensic investigation documents printed out from his mobile devices. 

 

Justice Aneke admitted them as exhibits and convicted the defendant as charged. He was sentenced to one year imprisonment, with an option of fine of N1,500,000 ( One Million, Five Hundred Thousand Naira ) and 100 hours Community Service. 


The judge also ordered that the mobile phone and bank draft of N100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Naira) be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.


Martins’ journey to the Correctional Centre began when he was arrested by operatives of the Lagos Zonal Command of the EFCC for internet fraud.  He was charged to court and convicted.
