Suspected Internet Fraudster Posing As A Woman Remanded In Kirikiri Prison

A suspected Internet fraudster, Balogun Sultan, has been arraigned
before Justice Oloruntoyin Solebo of the Special Offences Court sitting
in Ikeja, Lagos on a four-count charge bordering on possession of
fraudulent documents.

A statement from the EFCC, says Balogun presented himself as Erika
Stiller, a female, to unsuspecting victims on the Internet who he
defrauded of their hand earned money.

One of the counts reads:

“That you, Balogun Sultan (a.k.a Erika Stiller), on or about the 29th
November, 2017 at Lagos, within the Ikeja Judicial Division, with
intent to defraud, had in your possession documents containing false
pretence titled “Picture from Erika” from Erika Stiller by sending
pictures to mark65243@yahoo.com and printed from your e-mail box, erikastiller231@gmail.com, erikastiller231@gmail.com”.

Another count reads:

“That you, Balogun Sultan (a.k.a Erika Stiller), on or about the 13th
April, 2018 at Lagos within the Ikeja Judicial Division, with intent to
defraud, had in your possession documents containing false pretence
titled “Grant FMT” Re Money” from Erika Stiller by sending a letter
printed from your e-mail box, erikastiller231@gmail.com”.

He, however, pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to him.

In view of his plea, the prosecution counsel, C.R. Edozie, asked the
court for a trial date and prayed the court to remand the defendant in
prison custody pending the determination of the case before the court.

Counsel to the defendant, Babatunde Adeyemi, prayed the court to admit his client to bail.
In his response, the prosecution counsel told the court that though he
had been served with the bail application, he would need time to go
through it.

Consequently, Justice Solebo adjourned the matter to February 5, 2019
for hearing of the bail application and also remanded the defendant in
Kirikiri prison custody.
