Court sentences mother, son to 7 years imprisonment and what did they do? Court sentences mother, son to 7 years imprisonment
The mother and the son after gambling away 5.6 million naira, that is about $8,000. When the reality dawned on them, they gave false information in petition, accusing someone of fraudulently transferring the fund from their Opay account to the sport betting account without their authorization.
Could this be a case of making someone pay for what they didn't eat or a case of double standard.
Bet as you can sustain and not allow your emotions have a better part of you.
Where they spent the money is almost irrelevant to the actual crime that they committed, which was dishonestly, theft and fraud. They could have spent that money buying thousands in gift cards, then turning around to claim that someone had stolen their card to buy it. I don't know what the banks are like in their country, but in some countries they might have actually been refunded with potentially a more detailed investigation taking place to determine the "culprits". The fact that they did it for gambling just shows how desperate and naive they were, probably thinking that they could make some big win - pay it back and keep the excess, but it's not a job and the majority of people will never profit from it.
