In addition to his sentence, he forfeited his iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy A5, 9G and Samsung Galaxy A14, 5G recovered from him upon arrest to the federal government. Also forfeited to the federal government are the sums of £1,200 (One Thousand, Two Hundred Pounds and $400 (Four Hundred Dollars), recovered from him during investigation.

 

Kalu’s journey to the correctional facility started when he was arrested by the Commission in a sting operation in the Choba axis of Port Harcourt, following intelligence report on the activities of some internet fraudsters in the area.


Investigation revealed that the convict operated fraudulent Facebook, TikTok, Telegram and Instagram accounts which he used to swindle unsuspecting victims of their money.
