Nigerian comedian Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, popularly known as Oga Sabinus or Mr. Funny, has reacted after a federal high court in Port Harcourt jailed a young man named Henry Nathaniel Ekanem.
Ekanem, a final-year student at the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), was handed 14 years after he defrauded Diana Roskov of $22, which is about N36,000, along with other online scams.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) charged Ekanem with seven counts of fraud and impersonation.
Sabinus expressed his disapproval of the court’s decision in a comment on his verified X account.
