This particular story is close to my heart because i was directly affected by this fraudster, i shared the story HERE .Sometime in 2012 i saw an advert of a house to Let in Ajao Estate area, i called the number and eventually met with the developer, after payment, i realized the man, pictured above already gave the place to 100 others, he was arrested and charged to court, at a point i gave up, the constant visits to court almost cost me my job, so i gave up and prayed for justice to be served,
just yesterday, An Ebute-Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court sentenced the property developer, Alhaji Ayobami Oseni, to several years imprisonment for defrauding 133 accommodation seekers of N25 million. Chief Magistrate O. O. Olatunji convicted Oseni after he pleaded guilty to 267 counts of conspiracy, obtaining under false pretenses and stealing.
Olatunji held that the offences contravened Sections 285, 312 and 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
Oseni got 10 years imprisonment on each of the 267 counts without an option of fine.
The sentences, which are to run concurrently, take effect from April 26, 2017 when Oseni was remanded in prison custody following the revocation of his bail.
Thus, the convict should spend only 10 years in jail, but if the one year he has spent in remand is deducted, his prison time reduces to nine years.
It took a while but Justice was eventually served.
