BILLIONAIRE OBINWANNE OKEKE PLEADS GUILTY TO $11 MILLION FRAUD IN USA

Good riddance to bad rubbish! Obinwanne Okeke, the Nigerian 'billionaire ' owner of Invictus Group who was arrested in the United States last year, has pleaded guilty to $11 million (N4.2 billion) fraud.


Mr Okeke, 32, admitted to American prosecutors that he was involved in computer-based fraud between 2015 and 2019.

Joshua Stueve, a spokesperson for the United States District Court for Eastern District of Virginia, told PREMIUM TIMES on Thursday evening that Mr Okeke could spend 20 years maximum penalty in an American jail.

He would be sentenced on October 22, Mr Stueve said.

“A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors,” the court official said.

Robert Krask, an American judge of the district, certified the guilty plea on Thursday morning to clear the paths for Mr Okeke’s sentencing.

Mr Okeke and other alleged conspirators said to still be at large were accused of targeting American businesses in a probe led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Unatrac, a subsidiary of heavy equipment giant Caterpillar, was amongst the companies said to have been targeted by the cartel in a business email compromise scheme for several years. Over $11 million was said to have been traced to the ring, amidst claims that Mr Okeke allegedly used proceeds of his illicit dealings to build a business empire in Abuja and other parts of Nigeria.


Mr Okeke was arrested in August 2019 as he was about leaving the United States for Nigeria. He was held in jail for several months.

He initially pleaded not guilty and was remanded by different district court judges. He later backed down and admitted to his involvement in the fraud scheme.

MALAYSIAN POLICE ARRESTED A NIGERIAN LADY THAT WAS GANG-RAPED AND SET THE 5 RAPISTS FREE!(video)

The Malaysian police has been accused of arresting a Nigerian lady who filed a complaint against 5 Chinese men who gang-raped her and releasing the men after allegedly taking bribe.

 

One of the Chinese men reportedly showed interest in the Nigerian lady identified simply as "Nicole" and they met at Changkat in Kuala Lumpur, before he allegedly took her to one of his father's hotel in the city.

 

Unknown to the Nigerian lady, the Chinese men had plans to rape her. Upon reaching the hotel, she was allegedly beaten and taken to another location where the Chinese nationals called in their friends who gang-raped her without protection. Naked photos and videos of the lady were reportedly taken by the Chinese men who threatened to release it if she exposes them.

 

Nicole was rescued after she shouted for help and this led to the arrest of 4 of the Chinese men after she lodged a complaint. The Chinese nationals were however released after the main suspect's father reportedly mounted pressure on the police.

 

The Nigerian lady was subsequently arrested and has been held for days in police custody for not having legal document. She will be arraigned today at a Jalan Duta Court, where it is expected the Judge will rule in favour of her deportation.

 

While the Nigerian High Commission official attention has been drawn to the case, it was alleged that the move to deport the Nigerian lady is to cover-up the alleged injustice she was subjected to.
