One Afolabi Ojo has been jailed after being convicted on a one-count amended charge bordering on false representation and obtaining money under false pretense.
The convict was falsely representing himself on a Instagram page “Beat Classic Store” as a shoe and bag seller.
He had initially pleaded “not guilty” but later changed his plea to “guilty” on the amended one-count charge.
Justice
Maureen Onyetenu of the Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo, Osun
State, thereafter convicted him and sentenced him to six months in
prison from the date of conviction having opted for a plea bargain. .
Afolabi Ojo (a.k.a. Kemisola) had also undertaken to restitute the total sum of N45,000 falsely obtained from his victim.
The
journey to the prison began for Afolabi, following a petition sometimes
in June 2017, alleging that he engaged in internet fraud. .
He
created a “Best Classic Store” on Instagram with the name Kemisola on
which he advertised shoes and bags for online sales through which he
collects money for services not rendered.
