A Federal High Court in Abuja sentences a fake spiritualist, Solomon Moses (also reported as Solomon Odigie Moses), to one year in prison for cheating and sextortion involving an Indian woman. Reports say he defrauds the woman while she seeks spiritual healing and later blackmails her using a nude video.
According to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the case involves the woman’s engagement in what is described as a private spiritual bath. Multiple outlets report that the defendant records her during the bath without consent, and that the extortion follows the recording. The court convicts and issues the prison term after the matter comes before Justice C.N. Nwabulu, with the defendant reported to have pleaded guilty to a one-count charge of cheating.
Across the coverage, outlets broadly agree on the identity of the defendant, the location (Abuja), the prison term (one year), and the central allegations: defrauding the victim, secretly recording her during a private ritual, and using the recording to coerce or blackmail her. Differences mainly relate to the amount reported as defrauded and the emphasis on the sextortion element versus the cheating charge.
