A Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan had ordered in a final forfeiture in a November 13, 2024 judgement in a fraud case where Alli was found guilty of conniving with syndicates and swindled the victim to the tune of over Two Hundred Million Naira under the pretext of providing spiritual cleansing to counter and erase visions of untimely death.
He was convicted and sentenced to three years imprisonment and ordered to undertake with the Department of State Services (DSS) that he would be of good behavior without getting involved in any criminal activity again.
