Gee Boy Sentenced To 35-Years Imprisonment In Ilorin

Ajayi Temitope Charles has been convicted and sentenced 35 years in prison without an option of fine Justice M. Abdulgafar of a Kwara State High Court sitting in Ilorin who convicted him of Internet fraud.

One of the five count charges against him reads: “That you, Ajayi Temitope Charles, popularly known as Teresa Simons on or about the 27th of February, 2019, in Ilorin within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, with intent to defraud, had in your possession document, which you knew contained false pretence, and thereby, committed an offence contrary to Section 6 and 8(b) of the Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act.”

He had pleaded “not guilty” to the charges, prompting the commencement of his trial.

However, at the end of the trial, Justice Abdulgafar ruled that the EFCC proved its case against him, “beyond reasonable doubts”.
Justice Abdulgafar, thereafter, sentenced him to seven years in prison on each of the five counts. The sentence is to run concurrently.
