An Ikeja Special Offences Court, on Wednesday, sentenced a student of the Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH), Oni Ololade, to eight months in prison for cyber fraud. “The defendant is sentenced to eight months imprisonment, starting from the date of his initial remand by this court, which was March 18. “He is however granted an option of fine of N100,000 in lieu of his prison term. The EFCC prosecutor also alleged that the defendant had, sometime in 2019 in Lagos, fraudulently obtained Amazon gift cards from an American by impersonating an American Caucasian woman. “On March 8, 2020, it was found in his possession a document where he falsely represented himself as another white female by name Sandra Blender,” the EFCC prosecutor said.
