Spare Parts Dealer, One Other Jailed for Cyber Fraud in Ilorin

Justice Adenike Akinpelu of the Kwara State High Court sitting in Ilorin on Monday, January 24, 2022 convicted an Ilorin-based spare parts dealer, Tiamiyu Hammed and one Kamarudeen Olarewaju Ibrahim for offences bordering on cybercrime and possession of fraudulent funds.
The Ilorin Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, arraigned the duo of Tiamiyu and Kamarudeen on separate one and two-count charges, respectively before the court.
Tiamiyu, 23, who claimed to be from Ogbomosho South-East Local Government of Oyo State, allegedly disguised as one Sarah Ben, a white female of Colorado, United States, to swindle one Todd Byers of $600 vide gift cards. On the other hand, the EFCC in one of the counts, accused Kamarudeen of having under his control a sum of N679,450.00 (Six Hundred and Seventy Nine Thousand, Four Hundred and Fifty Naira) unlawfully obtained and paid into his account by one of the new generation banks.
