I looked up the other residents of that property and saw the name of a very fine lady. I don't know if it is his wife or main-piece. I won't post her name in this thread.

He is an American citizen. That's the way they roll. If you are an American citizen(or company) and commit fraud abroad, you can be tried in the USA.

What exactly is the grouse of the Americans in this case, the fact that he received a bribe or the fact that he did not pay tax on the money? undecided

US will soon jail all the corrupt Nigeria politicians. Especially the ruling party called APC.

One at a time.
Kudos the American judiciary.
Nigeria judiciary has become a cash & carry enterprise.

It was an illegal money
He didn't disclose but disguised it
Most importantly he didn't pay tax because of the disguise

Are you saying US would not refund our money or what?

If they aren't, they for kuku allow Okoronkwo enjoy the money.

Better a Nigerian.
.. refund the money? ..why did Nigeria not sue him to court and presecute him and recover back the money.. while in Nigeria he was walking around freely enjoying the loot

Proceeds of crime usually never get repatriated.

But see as a foreign country is doing a job our own government can’t do because they are equally kriminals themselves.

Mumu man, instead of him to remain in Naija, join apc and be a city boy to enjoy his money he chose to stay in US where there is "aproka" law and order.
Always making excuses once one of your brothers is caught up in any criminal activity. Tell us how and who joined Apc and all of a sudden became saint. Unlike you who will look away despite all the criminal activities of Obi, a Conman who invested Anambra money into his own business.
What crime can be greater than that? But he's your saint grin

From NNPC life to prison for 5 years.

No be small thing.
So 87 divided by 12 is 5?
Nairalanders know math well

According to the not too smart kids on NL, once you do plea bargain and agree to a forfiture, you can walk away free.
These people have no clue how the US justice system works especially on any crime relating to drugs.

You will get prison time and still automatically lose anything that the govt can get their hands on.
