A 23-year-old man, Odeyemi Hammed Oluwaseun, has been sentenced to one year in prison for defrauding victims online by pretending to be an American-based female spiritualist with the ability to help jilted women and estranged wives regain the affection of their partners. 
Oluwaseun was convicted and sentenced by Justice Mahmud Abdulgafar of the Kwara State High Court in Ilorin on Wednesday, January 15, 2025.
The self-proclaimed spiritualist was prosecuted by the Ilorin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on two counts of internet fraud, impersonation, and obtaining by false pretenses.
Oluwaseun was accused by EFCC of duping one Bose of the sum of $3200.00 and another victim identified as Schneider Alina of $4500.00 while posing as Lord Hill, a female spiritualist to the two women.
He had allegedly promised to use his spiritual powers to help the two women restore their relationship with their lovers.
