How the Sextortionn Scheme Worked
After gaining the woman's trust, Moses convinced her to perform a naked spiritual bath as part of his supposed healing process. He secretly recorded the session live without her knowledge or consent. He then used the footage as leverage, threatening to release it publicly unless she sent him money.
EFCC investigators found that the victim paid Moses $1,100 to keep the video from going public. The commission said the payment was made under duress, as the woman feared the consequences of her nudityy being exposed online.
The EFCC confirmed that Moses will be charged to court once investigations into the matter are fully concluded.
