The Oyo State High Court in Ibadan has convicted two brothers, Samuel Adedeji Adeboye and Charles Adedamola Adeboye, along with 33 other individuals, for involvement in internet fraud. The sentences were delivered by Justices Ladiran Akintola, Bayo Taiwo, and O.S. Adeyemi.

The convicts were charged by the Ibadan Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on various counts, including impersonation, obtaining by false pretense, possession of fraudulent documents, and retention of proceeds from crime.

According to a statement by the EFCC on their official X (formerly Twitter) account, the fraudsters all pleaded guilty to the charges.

In addition to the Adeboye brothers, those convicted include Oluwadamilola Michael Omotayo, Boluwatife Ajewole Alaran, Michael Damilare Badaru, Oyewole Ismail Oluwatayo, Mudashiru Oluwatobi Oyebamiji, Ebuka Michael Oluwatobi, and others.

The charge against Samuel Adedeji Adeboye stated that he impersonated an individual named James Jonathan to defraud a person identified as Wendy Rose. Charles Adedamola Adeboye was charged with aiding an internet fraudster by helping to receive funds, benefiting N200,000 from the scheme.

All the defendants pleaded guilty, and the prosecution, led by Modupe Akinkoye, Oluwatoyin Owodunni, and others, requested the court to convict and sentence them accordingly.

Justice Akintola sentenced the Adeboye brothers to one year in prison each, with the option of fines. Samuel was fined N100,000, while Charles received a fine of N30,000.
