Only one year..... the average income in Nigeria is $1/week. Given a $4100 scam(s), that seems like 80+ years of income..... if my math is somewhat close anyhow. 2 years = roughly 100 weeks

Adeosun Olarewaju
Justice Ipaye sentenced him six months imprisonment on each of the counts. The conviction stemmed from a guilty plea by the accused person.
He was arraigned before the court for fraudulently duping a foreigner of the sum of $4,100 (Four Thousand, One hundred United States Dollars) in an inheritance scam.
Olanrewaju initially pleaded not guilty when he was arraigned. He, however, changed his plea and was subsequently convicted.
Justice Ipaye ruled that the sentence should run concurrently.
