The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has cleared the air on some insinuations and contrived accounts of the conviction of an internet fraudster, Victor Oche Odeh by Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna State High Court on July 21, 2023.
The EFCC spokesman, Dele Oyewale said that Odeh, 19, was among five undergraduates convicted and sentenced to two years imprisonment each, after pleading guilty to one-count separate charge bordering on internet fraud.
The other convicts are: Chidebere Stanley Opara( a.ka. Avail Hollywood), Manasseh Sefa Ephraim ( a.k.a Felicia_dannyyels), Chukwukere Obinna Paul( a.ka. Shaun Lee) and Enyogu Etim Ekpo( a.ka.a Henry Wilson, Jasdav7).
In a Press Release of the EFCC, dated July 11, 2023, the ages of all the convicts, including Odeh’s, were not stated. For clarity, Odeh is 19 years old. All the false narratives being bandied about in some section of the social media that he is seven years old should be ignored.
The EFCC did not “parade” the convict, and is not a court of law that rightfully convicted him, said Oyewale.
Facts are sacred. Information about the offence, prosecution, conviction and sentence of Odeh is on all social media platforms of the EFCC. The public is enjoined to ignore any hoopla connected to his conviction.
