Oluwaseun, also known as Odeyemi Hammed Oluwaseun, has been convicted by Justice Mahmud Abdulgafar of the Kwara State High Court in Ilorin for internet fraud, impersonation, and obtaining money under false pretenses. The charges stem from his fraudulent activities where he posed as a female spiritualist to deceive victims into sending him gift cards.
In December 2023, he convinced Bose to send $3,200 worth of gift cards, claiming they would be used for a spiritual ritual to influence her ex-husband. Similarly, in August-September 2023, he duped Schneider Alina into sending $4,500 worth of gift cards for the same fraudulent purpose.
Oluwaseun pleaded guilty, and the court sentenced him to six months in jail for each charge, but the sentences were suspended. Additionally, the court ordered the forfeiture of $1,000, an iPhone 15, and a Toyota Camry to the Federal Government. This conviction serves as a reminder of the dangers of online fraud and the importance of vigilance against impersonation scams.
