Court jails fake spiritualist for sextortion in Abuja

A Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced Solomon Moses, a fake spiritualist, to one year in prison for defrauding an Indian woman, Sharon Kaur, and subsequently blackmailing her with a nude video. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) revealed the conviction in a statement on their official X account. Moses, who pleaded guilty, was accused of posing as a spiritual leader on a fictitious TikTok account and defrauding Kaur of $1,100.

He then recorded a nude spiritual bath without her consent and used the video to blackmail her into paying the ransom. Justice C.N. Nwabulu convicted Moses and ordered the forfeiture of the $1,100 to Kaur. This case is the latest example of online fraud schemes involving impersonation and exploitation of victims through social media platforms.
