Yahoo Boy Arraigned In Court For Sending Nude Photos Of Other Women To White Man

The Ibadan Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), on Monday, April 1, 2019, arraigned one Ismail Yunus
before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court 2, Ibadan, Oyo
State.

He was arraigned on an Eight-count charge bordering on Advance Free
Fraud for obtaining money by false pretense and sending pornographic
images, among others while posing as a nude woman and using such as a
bait to defraud unsuspecting victims.
He allegedly defrauded two American citizens, Steve Harvey and David
Beeck, at different times, claiming to be the ‘woman’ in the
pornographic images to defraud his victims of their money.

One of the counts reads: “That you Ismail Yunus sometime in 2018, at
Oyo town, Oyo state, within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court
with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of $70 USD (Seventy United
State of America Dollars), only from Steve Harvey, a United State of
American Citizen when you falsely represented that you a woman (knox
Ruby from Dayton Ohio, United State of America), which representation
you knew to be false and thereby committed an offense contrary to
section 1(1)(a) and punishable under Section 1 (3) of the Advance Fee
Fraud and other Fraud Related Offenses Act 2006”.

The accused pleaded ‘not guilty’ to the offenses when read to him.
Due to his ‘not guilty’ plea, the prosecution counsel, Shamsudden Bahir,
prayed the court for a trial date and an order to remand the accused
person in prison custody pending the determination of his case.
The defense counsel, Okunyemi Tajudeen, made an oral bail application on
behalf of his client, but the judge refused to grant his request.

The matter was adjourned to May 14, 2019 for trail, while the defendant was to be remanded in the Agodi prison custody.
