Yusra Ali Babakusa,a female Student of Bayero University Kano was said to have been defrauded of N267, 000 in her pursuit of becoming a Glo Ambassador.

Yusra was said to have come in contact with one Khalil Ahmed Bappa who claimed to be an agent of Glo communications Company and promised to help her become a Glo Ambassador.

The suspect later asked the lady to send him a facilitation fee which she did.

The suspect went as far as telling the girl to prepare to come to Glo’s head office in Lagos for an interview that she has been selected and that the company had made all arrangement for her accommodation and return flight ticket.

However, on the expected day of the interview the suspect declined all the calls the young lady put across to him and later switched-off his phone.

After trying for days to contact the suspect without any positive result, it dawned on the lady that she has been duped. She reported to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC which consequently led to the arrest of the suspect.

The suspect who was charged to court on a two-count charge bordering on obtaining by false pretences, which is contrary to and punishable under Sections 1(2) and 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act 2006 was found guilty and has been sentenced to a 2-year jail term by Justice Mohammed Garba Umar.
