A graduate of Lead City University, Ibadan, who passed out with 1st-class honors has been sentenced to one-year imprisonment after pleading guilty to a two-count charge of conspiracy and obtaining money under false pretences.
Olakunle Akanni was sentenced yesterday Nov. 4th at the Ikeja High Court in Lagos for defrauding a 77 year-old American woman, Diana Huizenga, of over 12,000 dollars through an internet love scam.
One of his accomplices, Adesina Akinsola, 30, was also given a similar sentence by the judge but adjourned the sentencing of their co-accused, 30-year-old Dele Oshuntogun, till Nov. 17.
There are reports that the convicts entered a plea bargain with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Lawal-Akapo consequently sentenced them to one year imprisonment on each of the counts.
He said the sentences were to run concurrently beginning from the day the judgment was delivered.

“The first defendant, Olakunle Akanni, is to pay the sum of N2 million which is the equivalent of $12, 820 to the victim (Huizenga), as restitution.
Also, the third defendant, Akinsola, is to pay the sum of N500, 000 to the victim as restitution,” the judge ordered.

He also ordered them to write an undertaken to be submitted to the EFCC that they would be of good behaviour upon their release from prison custody.
Mrs Zainab Ettuh , the EFCC counsel, narrating the facts of the case, told the court that the convicts committed the offences between December 2010 and February 2012 in Lagos.
She said Olakunle Akanni falsely presented himself to Huizenga as one Robert Lewis, a white American living in Nigeria, who was in love with her.
According to her, “the convicts used the “love scam” to fleece the woman and even invited her to come to Nigeria with $90,000 before they were apprehended”.
Mrs Zainab Ettuh said their offences contravened Section 419 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Lagos State, 2003.

3 Female Police Officers Stripped, Beaten While On Duty

Three female police officers were attacked and stripped to the buff while on duty by residents of Ikpoba-Okha local government area of Edo State on Wednesday, November 19, 2014.

According to the Nation, the incident occurred when a landlady, identified as Mrs. Okebuse, called the police to arrest one of her tenants who was given a quit notice. When police officers arrived the unnamed tenant demanded to take her bath before going to the police station.

They are currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital. The suspects were arrested; now they are waiting for trial. Speaking about the attack, the state’s Police Commissioner, Foluso Adebanjo, said the perpetrators would face the full wrath of the law.

A civilian JTF, who identified himself as Tanimu Shuiabu told our reporter that, they have been arresting members of the Boko Haram insurgents who escaped during and encounter with the Nigerian military and stormed Maiduguri, the Borno state capital as IDPs.
According to him, ” Those who were today arrested were said to have been seen on several occasions planning mischief. They have been kept under close watch until when we found out that, they were members of Boko Haram who came from Bama with the IDPs”
Asked on how they were able to establish that those who were arrested were members of the Islamic sect,. Tanimu said, ” they had guns. They never wanted anybody around to be friends with them and they would always leave other IDPs for private meetings.
” When they were confronted by other IDPs over their nocturnal meetings, they told them that they were only planning on how to go back to Bama, saying that it was better to go back than to continue to live under the present harsh situation and that their major concern was how to get back to Bama through Konduga.
“Also one of the IDPs who saw them with guns sneaked and told some of our boys (civilian JTF) and we inform the soldiers with all the details that we had. After it was established that they were Boko Haram members, the soldiers stormed the place today and many of them were arrested.” He said.
