Auto mechanic Modebola found guilty of cyber fraud

Justice Bayo Taiwo of the Oyo High Court sitting in Ibadan has sentenced an internet fraudster, Adebayo Saheed Modebola, to six months of community service.

Modebola was sentenced after he was found guilty of impersonation in a criminal charge filed against him by the Ibadan Zonal Command of the EFCC.

The 21-year-old who claims to be an automobile mechanic met his waterloo on Tuesday, November 2, 2020, as the judge held that the Commission sustained the allegation of impersonating one Stephanie Cameron Caron to defraud people through the use of the internet.

The judge also ordered that the convict restitutes the sum of One Thousand United States Dollars ($1,000) to his victim through the Federal Government of Nigeria and the EFCC.

He also forfeits an iPhone 11 mobile phone to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
