A 31-year-old Nigerian national, identified as Paul Efeturi Niboro, also known as Paul Kwame Niboro, has been detained in prison custody by the High Court.
The allegations against him include uploading sexually explicit videos of a Jehovah’s Witness woman, with whom he had engaged in a romantic relationship, onto a pornographic website.
Despite facing 10 charges, including fraud, dissemination of obscene material, forgery, and sexual extortion, the accused pleaded not guilty to all counts.
The victim, a 40-year-old African-American residing in Brandywine, USA, allegedly fell victim to the accuser’s deceitful tactics.
Pretending to be a Cyber Security Analyst employed by IBM in Canada, the accused manipulated the victim into believing various fabricated stories, leading to financial exploitation.
Although the defense sought bail, highlighting the accused’s cooperation with legal proceedings, the prosecution objected, citing the gravity of the charges.
Presiding over the case, Justice Lydia Osei Marfo instructed the prosecution to furnish the court with necessary disclosure documents ahead of the next hearing scheduled for May 16.
Subsequent investigations uncovered a plethora of incriminating evidence against the accused, including forged documents and coerced explicit material shared without consent.
The accused’s actions, characterized by deception and exploitation, highlight the seriousness of the allegations and the imperative for a meticulous legal process to ensure justice prevails.
