One Chibuike Omemgboji, also known as Surajo Ascencio, was found guilty of online fraud and was given a six-month community service sentence by the Abuja High Court.
After entering a guilty plea to a single count of fraudulent impersonation, he was found guilty on June 15th, Wednesday.
As part of his community service, Chibuike must sweep churches, according to Justice K.N. Ogbonnaya, who sentenced the defendant.
The charge sheet reads; “That you, Chibuike Marshal Omemgboji (alias Surajo Ascencio) sometime in 2022 within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court fraudulently cheat when you created social media accounts on Facebook and Instagram, misrepresenting yourself to be Surajo Ascencio upon which one Sarah Vakunta (aka Danne Gibbs) delivered the sum of $4,328 under the pretence that you are in love with her, thereby committed an offense contrary to Section 320(a) of the Penal Code Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (Abuja) 1990 and punishable under Section 322 of the same Law.”
