A statement by the spokesperson for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, says Mr. Akintunde was arraigned before the court on March 13, 2013 on a two count charge bordering on obtaining money under false pretence.
Specifically, he allegedly obtained the sum of $450.00 from one Robert Jackson (an American) via Western Union Money Transfer under a false pretence that he was a lady.
In his judgment, Justice Abass ordered that, as restitution, the sum of $450 recovered from the convict be returned to the victim, Robert Jackson through the United States Consulate.
The judge also ordered that the laptop recovered by the EFCC from the convict in the course of his arrest be forfeited to the Federal Government.
