Instagram influencer Adesuwa Ogiozee over multimillion-dollar Internet fraud
Documents in the case showed the self-proclaimed No1 car broker in Africa was first indicted on December 2, 2020, for charges bordering on conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud. She faces 20 years in jail if convicted, American authorities said.
Ms Ogiozee, alongside four other co-conspirators, including a 37-year-old Nigerian based in Atlanta, Olutayo Sunday Ogunlaja, were tracked down by FBI agents after bilking $560,000 from a female victim resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Federal agents said further investigations exposed how Ms Ogiozee moved more than $3 million in suspicious transactions through her American bank accounts, adding that she also falsified form 1040 tax claims to the Internal Revenue Service.
