Fraud: Nigerian pleads guilty in US court, faces 20-year jail term
Nigerian-born businessman and owner of Invictus Group, Obinwanne Okeke, has pleaded guilty to charges of committing 11 million dollar fraud in the United States
Okeke initially rejected the accusation of scamming victims of the equivalent of 4.2 billion naira following his arrest in the US last year.
A spokesperson for the United States District Court for Eastern District of Virginia, Joshua Steve, told newsmen that the 32-year-old admitted to American prosecutors that he was involved in computer-based fraud between 2015 and 2019.
Steve also said Okeke could spend 20 years maximum penalty in an American jail, when he is sentenced on October 22.
