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.
This is just basic fraud and not a particularly clever performance either. These online financial companies are very sophisticated in what they can track and most users won't have a clue about what they're really monitoring with every single transaction. What's strange about this story however is that a judge was so harsh on them, when presumably the bank never paid out the claimed loss and it was just a lie that lead to them not benefiting at all, unless there is more to the story that we are unable to see. In many countries these people would get a much shorter sentence but presumably get their credit score ruined for up to 6 years, which can be a much worse penalty as it makes it much harder to survive and pay basic bills.
