Promise Ntuen
Ekemini
|
Justice Kudirat Jose of a
Lagos High Court has convicted and sentenced Promise Ntuen Ekemini to one year
imprisonment for hijacking the e-mail of a lawful owner of a property, located
in Western Australia valued at US$800,000 (Eight Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars), and attempting to sell the property.
PREMIUM NEWS reports Ekemini was arraigned in
April, 2014 on a 5-count charge bordering on conspiracy to defraud, attempt to
obtain money by false pretences and forgery. Justice Jose found him guilty of
all the charges and convicted him. His sentence is to run from the day of his
arraignment.
Ekemini got into trouble
by impersonating Brian Roderick Daniel, owner of a property located at No. 143,
Sprinaway Parade, Falcon, Western Australia and offering his property to buyers
on the internet without the consent of the owner. The Australian Police alerted
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to monitor a controlled
delivery of some documents related to the transactions to Ekemini. He was
arrested at the point of collection of the documents.
