Olajide Kareem, also known as Seun Egbegbe, a producer and director for Nollywood who was found guilty of fraud and sentenced to six years and eight months in jail in Lagos, has uploaded a video of his reunion with his mother after six years.
After allegedly receiving money under false pretense from no less than 40 Bureaux de Change operators over the course of two years between 2015 and 2017, Egbegbe was placed on remand on February 10.
He was charged with defrauding the BDC operators by saying he had naira to exchange for foreign money.
Only one of the 44 counts brought against him—Count 19—was found to be true, and Egbegbe was consequently punished.
Sharing the video, Seun thanked God and expressed how happy he was to meet her.
In the video, the mother and son were seen hugging each other as they both cried.
