A Federal High Court in Osogbo, Osun State capital has sentenced five community leaders who engaged in blackmail and fraud against the former Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Timothy Owoeye.
The perpetrators defrauded the ex-speaker of the sum of THIRTY-EIGHT million and maliciously released a nude video of the politician while allegedly having a ‘ritual bath’ in public.
The incident dates back to 2018 when the blackmailers released a THIRTEEN-second nude video that go viral on the internet.
The charges pressed against them bother on conspiracy, obtaining money under false pretence, cyber crime, among others.
