A self-acclaimed spiritualist, Odigie Moses, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged sextortion in Ekpoma, Edo State.
The EFCC, in a statement on Friday, alleged that Moses falsely claimed to possess spiritual healing powers and extorted $1,100 from his victim.
“The suspect, who misrepresented himself on Zelle, a social media platform, as possessing spiritual healing powers, was contacted by his victim, an Indian woman, who was in need of spiritual intervention over some life-threatening challenges,” the EFCC said.
“The suspect subsequently deceived her into taking a naked spiritual bath, which he recorded live without her permission, and thereafter blackmailed her to send him money, or he would make the video public.”
According to the commission, its investigation revealed that the victim paid the suspect $1,100 to prevent him from releasing the explicit video.
The EFCC said Moseshe will be charged in court upon the conclusion of investigations.
