Landlord Jailed For Duping Nollywood Actress

Actress and winner of Next Movie Star, Tamara Eteimo, was recently duped and lost over N800,000 to fraudsters, however the long arms of the law caught up with the man responsible.

The Actress was duped by Aruya, a 53years old man who posed as a landlord. He swindled her of N820, 200 after she came to him seeking for accommodation. Aruya has been sentenced to six years in prison for defrauding Nollywood Actress Tamara Eteimo.

A Tinubu Chief Magistrates’ Court, Lagos, presided over by Mrs Kikelomo Ayeye, sentenced Aruya after finding him guilty of a two charges of conspiracy and obtaining money under false pretenses. Ayeye said that all the evidence before the court showed without doubt that Aruya was guilty of the charges and sentenced Aruya to prison with hard labour and without an option of a fine. Ayeye held that:

“The Jeep found in the convict’s possession should be sold at the rate of N820, 200 and the money should be given to the complainant.”
