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 $800,000( Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), and
attempting to sell the property.
He 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.
