Uyo Court Jails Three Internet Fraudsters
Justice Maurin Oyetenu of the Federal High Court sitting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, has convicted and sentenced three internet fraudsters to various jail terms.
They were jailed on Monday, July 21, 2025 after pleading guilty to separate count charges bordering on internet fraud upon their arraignment by the Uyo Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The convicts are Emmanuel Okwa, Felix Akaninyene Tom and Ubok Ubong Edet.
One of the charge reads: “that you, Emmanuel Okwa (aka Jennifer Aniston) "M" sometime in 2024, in Nigeria, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did fraudulently presented yourself as Jennifer Aniston on the social media with intent to gain advantage for yourself, did take possession of the sum of One Thousand Five Hundred United State Dollars ($1500) knowing that the money formed part of the proceed of an unlawful act to wit; cyber impersonation and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 18(2)(d) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition and Prevention) Act, 2022 and punishable under Section 18 (3) of the same Act”.
The defendants pleaded guilty to the charges preferred against them, prompting the prosecution counsel, Joshua Abolarin to review the facts of the case and prayed the court to convict and sentence them accordingly.
However, defence counsel, Sampson Awuje, Metti Monday Ukpeh and Nyebu Johnson prayed the court for lesser sentences for the defendants.
After listening to the prosecution and the defence lawyers, Justice Oyetenu convicted the trio and sentenced them as follows; Emmanuel Okwa bagged one year imprisonment or to pay a fine of Two Million Naira (N2, 000, 000.00) and to forfeit his Iphone and Samsung mobile phones to the Federal Government.
Felix Akaniyene Tom and Ubok Ubong Edet were each sentenced to six months jail term or pay a fine of Five Hundred Thousand Naira (N500, 000.00) each. They were ordered to forfeit the following; two phones, Techno Camo 18 Spark and Techno Pro 10 Spark, which are to be sold and the funds deposited in the EFCC’s Proceeds of Crime Account.
All the convicts bagged their imprisonment when they were arrested by operatives of the EFCC for internet crimes. They were charged to court and convicted.

The way this benz just splashed us potor potor water inside keke a few minutes ago, the driver couldn't even use his wisdom to see that the road is flooded. Just rolled up the car windows and did us dirty. Very anyhow person. Pls, let's normalise not overspeeding when it rains, but most importantly, be considerate when it's time to overtake. This is not nice at all.

EVERY TIME YOU SEE DECLAN RICE YOU THINK OF ME.
EVERYTIME HE SCORES,ASSIST,PLAYS.
THE STREAMS ARE SKYROCKETING
YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT CULTURAL IMPACT IS. JUST OPEN MOUTH WAAAAA!!
FOOTBALL IS BIGGER THAN EVERYTHING.
THE METRICS ARE INSANE.
IT WAS USED TO ANNOUNCE BRITISH BIGGEST SIGNING EVER.
DEY PLAY. GLOBAL IMPACT.
AND WHEN I SANG I WAS A NOBODY. I SANG IT FROM UNDER A ROCK. THESE OTHERS SONGS HERE. EVERYBODY DON KNOW THEM
IMAGINE SAY NA DAVIDO SING DECLAN RICE.
THE MACHINE IS COMING.
ODINAKA. El Toro.@TheAjibolaGrey

@enyola @Odumodublvck_ So music videos are the only way to impact a culture?
English
I’m an Arsenal fan, a card carrying member for that matter, a Nigerian but I don’t even know the song you’re talking about, or remember your existence when I see Declan Rice.
Getting bigger streaming numbers when Rice scores or getting trolled when he flops is not cultural impact, that’s pure reactional behavior by streamers outside your supposed area of cultural influence in this context.
When half of the boys population in UNILAG, LASU & Other universities in Nigeria started wearing slim trousers and red bow tie because @wizkidayo wore it in his video is cultural impact.
When almost every young to mid aged human in Nigeria owned a t-shirt with “Alobam” on because of @phynofino is cultura impact.
When the sleekest brand Okada in Lagos got christened “Lagata” because Pasuma released an album calling himself “Lagata Fuji” is called cultural impact.
@Olamide getting half the planet striking the “Gunman pose” is cultural impact.
Lamine Yamal dance video bringing back @youngskales “Shake Body” is cultural impact, and the influence is Yamal not Skales.
None of your creative work has influenced any form of culture or had any noticeable or remarkable cultural impact. You have the potential to be that, but you’re not there yet.
I’m rooting for you Machine!

@illegals247 @rreed444 @Burn366 @BreakingBrown @altounkara Sadly yes.
ADOS believes reparations can only be achieved by aligning themselves with the descendants of white enslavers. They claim European ancestral roots to gain white acceptance & sympathy.
This strategy is flawed cause reparations won't happen as long as racism persists

Just say #ADOS music is born of #ADOS experience, so y’all don’t have MJ, Whitney, Aretha etc and stop wasting our time.

Saying “there are no African versions of MJ or Whitney” is like asking where the fruit is while ignoring the root system buried in African soil. Black music in the U.S. is not a rejection of Africa—it’s proof of its endurance.
