Popular singer, Flavour N’abania has come out to react to the news of the Federal High Court in Lagos sentencing Courage Ikpaka to two years imprisonment for impersonating him and defrauding an American lady identified as Yvelte M. Thompson of $53,000. Recall that Ikpaka was convicted after he pleaded guilty to the two-count charge brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
EFCC investigatorm Azibagiri Dan Ekpar had said, “We invited Flavour who honoured the invitation and claimed innocence of the allegations. Upon investigation, we discovered that one Ipaka Courage who lives in Benin City was the perpetrator. We invited the defendant, and he admitted in his statement that he impersonated Flavour by obtaining the sum of $53,000 from a woman who is a United States Citizen in 2021. He wired the funds through Bitcoin wallets and converted them in his Bank account where he received the value in Naira. The sum of N7.9m Naira was recovered from the defendant through Zenith and Access Bank manager’s cheques.”
Reacting, Flavour simply wrote, “One down. Ndi uchu!”
WOW.
