An Abuja-based sex therapist, Cecilia Agu, 40, was on Tuesday arraigned by the police before a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State over an alleged N275m internet scam.
The defendant is facing a five-count charge bordering on conspiracy, forgery, fraud, and obtaining by false pretence.
The police prosecutor, Samuel Eredia, told the court that the defendant and others at large, committed the offence on February 20, 2023, in the Lekki Phase 1 area of Lagos State. Eredia said Agu defrauded one Babatunde Oyebode of N275m by sending an electronic message and misrepresenting herself that she would help him to verify, validate and authenticate his Instagram page with celebrities and other of his clients, which she did not do.
