Guinness World Record: Victor Oche Odeh Is 19, Not 7 –EFCC
By Daniel Dafe
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has said that contrary to some insinuation and contrived accounts of the conviction of an internet fraudster, Victor Oche Odeh, by Justice Darius Khobo of the Kaduna State High Court on July 21, 2023, that he was the youngest convict ever, being 7years, that this.is a false narrative.
The EFCC in an official statement on the anti-agency’s social media platforms on Monday, recalled that “in a Press Release of the EFCC, dated July 11, 2023, the ages of all the convicts, including Odeh’s, were not stated.”
Adding: “For the purpose of clarity, Odeh is 19 years old.”.
According to the statement, “all the false narratives being bandied about in some section of the social media that he is seven years old should be ignored,” saying that “the EFCC did not “parade” the convict, and is not a court of law that rightfully convicted him.”

The statement read further: “Odeh, 19, was among five undergraduates convicted and sentenced to two years imprisonment each, after pleading guilty to a one-count separate charge bordering on internet fraud. The other convicts are: Chidebere Stanley Opara (a.k.a. Avail Hollywood), Manasseh Sefa Ephraim (a.k.a. Felicia_dannyyels), Chukwukere Obinna Paul (a.k.a. Shaun Lee) and Enyogu Etim Ekpo (a.k.a. Henry Wilson, Jasdav7).
“Facts are sacred. Information about the offence, prosecution, conviction and sentence of Odeh is on all social media platforms of the EFCC. The public is enjoined to ignore any hoopla connected to his conviction.”
