Olutosin Oduwole Sentenced to 5 Years in Prison in the US

A 26yr old Nigerian, Olutosin Oduwole, was on Wednesday December twenty one, sentenced to 5 years in prison in Madison County, for writing what prosecutors say was a note demanding cash and threatening a Virginia Tech-like killing spree.

A jury convicted the previous Southern Illinois University student in October of making an attempt to form a terrorist threat and unauthorized possession or storage of a weapon.

The judge sided with jurors in dismissing Oduwole's claim that he was an aspiring rapper, and that the threatening words were innocent lyrical musings. He was sentenced to 5 years on the threat charge and a year on the weapons charge to be served concurrently.

The threat note was found in Tosin's abandoned automobile by cops in July 2007, simply a number of months once the Virginia Tech massacre. The writing demanded payment to a PayPal account, threatening "if this account does not reach $50,000 in the next seven days then a murderous rampage just like the VT shooting will occur at another highly populated university.

The aspiring rapper insisted in court that he "did not mean to incite worry. That was never my intention. that is not my character." however he didn't convince the court the writing was innocent lyrics and other musings. Also, unfortunately for him, after they searched his on-campus dorm when he was arrested, cops found a loaded gun.
