Felix Okafor, Nigerian, jailed 263 years in the
US for drugs

Foolish man. He think say uk de like naija wey u fit steal a whole pension scheme and nothing will happen to u? Useless man.

See him head like egg and the wife gele like mountain. Awon oloriburuku gbo gbo

The United States Penitentiary in Hazelton,
West Virginia is a “high security Penitentiary
with a secure female facility and an adjacent
minimum security satellite camp, a division of
the United States Department of Justice.”
This sprawling prison yard was built in 2004. It
is located in Bruceton Mills. It has notorious
and famous inmates such as Ali Abdi
Mohammed, the Somalian pirate that hijacked
civilian yacht Quest and hostages in 2010. He is
serving a life sentence.
Inside this prison with a population of 2,283
inmates, is inmate number 56118056. He is
Nigerian, Felix Okafor. He was sentenced on
April 10, to 263 years in federal prison for drugs
and weapons distribution, sales and money
laundering.
Felix, 53, migrated to the United States in 1981.
He was part of the mass exodus of young
Nigerians to foreign nations in the early 80s.
Those were the days of uneasy living which
drove young Nigerians to seek survival in
faraway lands such as United States, Europe,
the then USSR, the Scandinavian and Asia,
specifically, India. Okafor was one of the young
Nigerians privileged to go West in search of
exciting challenges. In 1981, he relocated to
Raleigh North Carolina and settled into a slow
paced southern life style. Raleigh is the capital
of North Carolina; a midsised metropolitan city
that struggles with diversity. It is home to the
Research Triangle Park, a sub research layout
that was developed in the mid sixties for
world’s biggest research companies in computer
science, technology and medicine: RTP, as it is
fondly called, is home to the headquarters of
Glaxo SmithKline, IBM, CISCO Systems, Ericson,
BASF, etc.
This metropolis is also surrounded by America’s
best colleges and institutions. One of the
colleges it is privileged to host is Shaw
University, the first Black College in Southern
United States, founded in 1865. Okafor got
admitted into this university in the early
eighties, majoring in business administration.
After his college education, Okafor created
small businesses through his single life
passages: the small businesses included
Laundromat, vending machines for snacks and
sodas. By mid 90s, Okafor married and moved
from the city of Raleigh to country town of
Zebulon. He also opened a used car sales shop,
shuttling between his businesses and family.
Mid millennium, Okafor diversified his business:
he purchased a convenience store in another
small town, Benson, located along one of the
busiest major network road links of United
States: route I-95 South. From his new location,
Okafor provided neighbours with convenience of
daily groceries shopping in his grocery store,
Flying Eagles Groceries.
An anonymous resident of the neighbourhood
described the store and its owner as ‘always
selling us expired groceries and food stuff. He
had expired candy bars on the candy racks and
that place seemed unorganised and dirty. The
aisles were always empty, just few items to pick
from. There were candy bars that had expired
since 2007. That man was fronting with his
store. We suspected he was cooking something
else and selling it. He got caught at last.”
The daily human traffic activities of the store
attracted neighbourhood curiosity. Strange
people came with expensive cars parked
outside. These activities inside a store filled
with expired candy bars and lousy inventories,
attracted strangers to the community at odd
hours. Residents became concerned about the
safety of their properties, lives and families with
the influx of strange people to a small store.
Soon, the spectacle attracted federal, state and
local authorities who began undercover
operations and purchases of drugs from Okafor’s
store. He was under surveillance for 10 months
and federal undercover operations did drug and
weapons transactions directly with Okafor. On
Wednesday, January 11, 2011, drug enforcement
agents raided his store and arrested him.
Narcotic officers conducted 10 ‘undercover drug
buys’ of heroin and prescription pills 10 months
before the raid. He faced a maximum of 560
years.
He was tried for four days before a jury
convicted him on July 12, 2013 of all 53 count
charges.
The department of justice wrote thus on the
conviction, “United States Attorney Thomas G.
Walker announced that on July 12, 2013, FELIX
A. OKAFOR, 52, of Wendell, North Carolina, was
convicted by a federal jury of 25 drug and
firearms offences including conspiracy to
distribute 100 grams of heroin and 100
kilograms of marijuana, four counts of
distribution of marijuana, six counts of
distribution of heroin, distribution of drugs
within 1000 feet of a school, and 11 counts of
possession of a firearm during a drug trafficking
crime.
“During the four-day trial, the government
presented evidence that between on or about
November 8, 2011, through on or about January
11, 2012, Okafor sold various quantities of
marijuana and heroin multiple times to a
confidential informant at the defendant’s
convenience store, the Flying Eagle, in Benson,
North Carolina. Okafor possessed a gun in his
pocket during each of these transactions.
Additionally, the defendant used the Flying
Eagle to cut and package the drugs to sell. The
store was within 1000 feet of Benson Middle
School. Okafor faces a minimum of 265 years
and a maximum of 560 years imprisonment at
sentencing.
“This case was part of the Project Safe
Neighbourhoods (PSN) initiative which
encourages federal, state, and local agencies to
cooperate in a unified “team effort” against gun
crime, targeting repeat offenders who
continually plague their communities.
“Investigation of this case was conducted by the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and
Explosives, the North Carolina State Bureau of
Investigation and the Johnston County Sheriff’s
Office. Assistant United States Attorney Ethan
A. Ontjes prosecuted the case.”
Nine months after he was convicted, Okafor was
sentenced to 263 years of prison on April 10.
“U.S. District Judge Malcolm J. Howard handed
down 53-year-old Felix A. Okafor’s 3,157-month
sentence in a Greenville federal courtroom. A
jury convicted Okafor of selling drugs during a
four-day trial last July.
Jurors found Okafor guilty of selling heroin and
marijuana to a confidential informant at his
Benson convenience store, the Flying Eagle,
which is within 1,000 feet of Benson Middle
School. Prosecutors said Okafor used his store
to cut and package the drugs.
Okafor was convicted of 25 drug and gun
charges, including 11 counts of possession of a
firearm during a drug trafficking crime, six
counts of distribution of heroin and four counts
of distribution of marijuana.
Prosecutors said Okafor had a gun in his pocket
each time he sold drugs to the informant.”
He was immediately moved to the United States
Penitentiary in West Virginia. He came to the
United States as a 20-year-old determined
young man in search of best life’s fulfilment for
his family. Thirty three years later, at 53 years,
he was sentenced to 263 years in prison.
