A High Court sitting in Kaduna State has sentenced one Abraham Adama to two years imprisonment for cheating by impersonating American movie star Sylvester Stallone on social media.
The charge against Adama reads: “That you Abraham Adama (a.k.a Sylvester Stallone) (m), sometime in 2023 at Kaduna within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, committed an offence to wit: cheating by impersonation when you falsely presented yourself as Sylvester Stallone (an American actor) on several online social media applications to several unsuspecting victims and in that assumed character cheated one Amelia James of the total sum of $200 and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 308 of the Kaduna State Penal Code Law of 2017 and punishable under Section 309 of the same Law.”
He pleaded guilty to the charge when it was read to him and Justice Darius Khobo sentenced him to two years prison term with a fine option of N150k.
