Court Jails Four for Internet Fraud in Lagos after EFCC Sting at OOPL

The Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos has sentenced four internet fraudsters to prison following their conviction by the Lagos Zonal Directorate 2 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Justice D.I. Dipeolu, on Friday, August 15, 2025, convicted Bisiriyu Roqeeb Abiodun, Ibrahim Azeez Olatunji, Akinwale Isaac and Habeeb Oladipupo Oshundairo after they pleaded guilty to separate charges of impersonation and cyber fraud.

The convicts were among 93 suspected internet fraudsters arrested during an EFCC sting operation at a hotel near the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

According to the EFCC, Abiodun, also known as “Sharon,” used a Zangi account linked to his Samsung Galaxy S20 to pose as a white American woman in order to defraud a victim from Tennessee, USA.

Olatunji was accused of operating a Google account under the name “Camila” to obtain illicit benefits, while Isaac used a WhatsApp profile under the names “Monica” and “Daisy” to deceive unsuspecting members of the public.

Oshundairo was said to have impersonated an expert in service certificates and internal revenue preparation via email to defraud victims.

Prosecution counsel Franklin Ofoma and S.M. Yabo presented investigative reports, mobile devices used in the crimes, forensic analysis, and bank drafts for restitution as evidence. These were admitted by the court.

Following their guilty pleas, defence counsel urged the court to show leniency, citing that the defendants were first-time offenders who had demonstrated remorse.

Justice Dipeolu, however, convicted them in line with Section 22(2)(b) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) Act, 2015, and sentenced them accordingly.
