Nigerian oil subsidy scammer jailed in the UK for money laundering

Walter Wagbatsoma, chairman, Ontario Oil & Gas Limited who was sentenced to 10 years following his prosecution by EFCC for N754million oil subsidy fraud, has been convicted by Leicester Crown Court in UK for money laundering.

Following a trial at Leicester Crown Court a thirteenth defendant has been convicted of conspiracy to launder money in an international fraud and money laundering investigation.

This investigation was conducted by Lincolnshire Police Economic Crime Unit under Operation Tarlac, in which over £12m was defrauded from public bodies including hospital trusts, housing associations and councils around the UK.

Walter Wagbatsoma, 47, was originally detained on a European Arrest Warrant in June 2016 whilst travelling through Germany.



He was extradited soon afterwards and charged with conspiring with others to launder the proceeds of fraud through his business interests in the UK.

The Nigerian businessman was yesterday sentenced to 3 years and 6 months imprisonment for his part in the crime, he was also disqualified from being a company director for 6 years.

Fraudulently obtained funds in the UK were laundered through an account in Dubai under the control of a co-conspirator Oluwatoyin Allison, a Nigerian who was convicted in his absence at an earlier trial in April 2017 and sentenced to seven years imprisonment.

Everyone knows those who can sell their parents and use the money to pay for transport to Lagos. I'm referring to the descendants of Judas Iscariot whose ancestor sold Jesus Christ.
