7-year Old Nigerian Youngest Internet Fraudster Broke Guinness World Records.
The Guinness World Record has awarded a distinction to Victor Oche Odeh, a 7-year-old boy who has now been recognized as the youngest fraudster in the world 😎🤔
This disconcerting acknowledgement follows his recent conviction by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Victor, alongside four other undergraduates, Chidebere Stanley Opara, Manasseh Sefa Ephraim, Chukwukere Obinna Paul, and Enyogu Etim Ekpo has been found guilty on separate one-count charges related to internet fraud.
The convictions were secured by the Kaduna Zonal Command of the EFCC, and Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna State High Court presided over the sentencing.
The charges stemmed from a sting operation conducted in Kaduna, revealing the group’s elaborate scheme of creating false identities on various social networking sites to defraud unsuspecting victims, particularly foreigners.
Specifically, the 7-year-old stands accused of cheating by impersonation, presenting himself as Christopher Anderson, a white man from Denver, Colorado, USA, on Facebook.
The fraudulent activities occurred between January and July 2023.
His conviction, under Section 57 of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law 2017, is punishable under Section 309 of the same Law.
