US Court Sentences Nigerian to 10 Years for Involvement in $20 Million Scam
A Nigerian national, Iheanyichukwu Jonathan Abraham, has been sentenced to 90 months in prison in the U.S. for his role in a large-scale fraud targeting elderly Americans.
Abraham, part of a group involved in a fraudulent inheritance scam, was involved in misleading victims about supposed multi-million-dollar inheritances and persuading them to send payments for taxes and fees.
The scheme spanned multiple countries, and his sentence comes after other co-conspirators were also convicted​.
