In addition to the jail term, US District Court in Austin Texas also mandated 33-year-old Nosa Onaghise to refund $1.6m of the stolen money; pay $230,000 in fines and forfeit $14,282.50 found in his account.

A Nigerian man has been sentenced to 51 months in prison for his role in a conspiracy that laundered $1.7m from United States companies through a Business Email Compromise scheme otherwise known as Alibaba.According to Nigeriabroad.com, Onaghise will be on supervised release for three years after completing his prison term.

The conspirators were able to take out $6m out of the loot before US law enforcement stopped further transfers.Earlier in 2018, Onaghise had pleaded guilty to one count of passport fraud for attempting to use a fake passport to open several bank accounts in the U.S. in furtherance of the fraud scheme.

BHAKAMELALUCKY what’s wrong with you.

Pround_Southy putsouthafricafirst I'm still waiting for a response from you, coward.

putsouthafricafirst I'm still waiting for a response you coward

What is his name

The truth is that these people are hostile towards visitors (especially nigerians) for a reason no one except them knows, these people despise us so much, probably because they feel threatened by us. whatever their reasons are I don't care I'm sure they have an unhealthty agenda

Do you know that south Africa is one of the most unsafe countries in Africa an average of 53 people are being murdered daily. When a south africans commits a crime it is covered but if a man of another African nationality commits the slightest he is automatically aired.

These south Africans claim that most of the crime committed In their country are being committed by noon south Africa citizens, That is total bullshit!! Infact out of all the prisoners in South Africa only 7.6% are foreigners and all the foreigners aren't nigerians

Architectures in crime goes to......................................................................Nigerians.

The south Africans in these comments are bloody hypocrites and stupid

Experts

Aza Man don enter gbege

Here in SA they're doing this crimes by saying that I'm not saying South Africans are not doing crime but we don't want ppl to come in our country to ADD to the problems we're fighting be part of the solution not a problem where you're going respect that country.

Why are south Africans flooding this place, why are you so obsessed with us Nigerians. For 50 years south Africa has the highest crime rate in Africa and this was before the influx of Nigerians into SA. Are ur criminals on vacation or you just pin it on us?

Looks like he swallowed the money already. Bloated

This people 😭😭😭😭 everywhere messing up with people's life 😭😭😭 . No sympathy PutSouthAfricansFirstNow

At their best.

Cursed nation

Is because of bad Government in Nigeria, please forgive him

Kindly follow me,ifb

See his face

It is not every news you should carry

Nigerian and equally a Yoruba man with his tribal mark boldly on his face is facing a wanton crime! Cybercrime is a graveyard crime outside Nigeria, but here in Nigeria some media outlet will gang up to set an agenda for their ethnic groups just bcos of sectional differences.

See hin fat face. Fool. 🙄🙄

Criminality is not by tribe or birth, it's a decition by individual instint.

Say no to crime.

Obviously once the culprit is not of Igbo extraction, then the use of Nigeria is accentuated. Otherwise it should have read 'Igbo man jailed.....' Una weldone ooo. One Nigeria indeed. Aunty abikedabiri, come and polish this one too

The Lord has blessed you by taking you to US,it's left for you to work for money.Why is it that we youths of nowadays don't wanna work for money,but like to take shortcuts to succeed (fraudsters). Stop letting this white people think we are all criminals.God bless Nigeria.

Wonderful

His family and friends are hear shouting ENDSARS...... Nonsense
