A graduate of Criminology and Security
Services, Adeusi Demola Olatunji, was
yesterday, sentenced to four months in prison
after being found guilty of internet-related
offence filed against him by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Ibadan
zonal office.
He was arrested on February 8, 2019 at Elebu
Oja, Ibadan, Oyo State.
His modus operandi, according to EFCC
investigations, was to present himself as Piero
Luchas, a white man with email address:
jeremy.david564@gmail.com, to dupe his
victims.
Justice P.I. Ajoku of the Federal High Court,
Ibadan, pronounced him guilty of a one-count
amended charge of criminal impersonation.
Adeusi, Criminologist, otherwise known as
Piero Luchas, was originally arraigned on a
six-counts charge to which he pleaded not
guilty.
The one-count charge he was convicted of
was consequent upon a plea-bargain
agreement he later had with the commission.
He pleaded guilty to the amended charge
when read to him.
The offence according to the EFCC counsel,
Mabas Mabur, is contrary to Section 22(3) (b)
and punishable under Section 22(4) of the
Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention) Act
2015.
