 Internet Fraudster Bags Two Years Imprisonment in Kaduna


Justice M.J. Zubairu of the Kaduna State High Court, sitting in Kaduna, on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, convicted and jailed Muhammad Kabiru for fraud.


Kabiru was prosecuted by the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on a one-count charge that bordered on criminal impersonation.


The charge reads: "That you Muhammad Kabiru, (a.k.a Jennifer Aniston) sometime in July, 2025, in Kaduna within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, committed an offence to wit: falsely presented yourself as Jennifer Aniston (a citizen of United States of America) to several unsuspecting victims via 'Telegram' chat (an online social media application) in a bid to lure them into love scam, which pretence you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 142(1) of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law, 2017.”


He pleaded “guilty”, following which the prosecution counsel, M.U Gadaka urged the court to convict and sentence him accordingly.


Justice Zubairu convicted and sentenced him to two years imprisonment or to pay N200,000 (Two Hundred Thousand Naira) fine. In addition, he forfeited his iPhone 14 Pro to the federal government.


The convict was among the suspects arrested by the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the EFCC on Governor Road, Kaduna metropolis, following intelligence that linked them to fraudulent internet activities.
