Yen Yen Yen He wont serve more than 10years. He might even get maybe 6 years sef

Maybe you could help serve 5 of the 10 years for him to further lessen his punishment.

There are many of them bro. I know one who wrecked a woman from Florida, the woman committed suicide. The guy in question relocated to USA from Nigeria and living in Texas now. He probably thinks he’s smart but nemesis will surly get him.

After "co-operating" with authorities there, he will get off much lighter. Other big time yahoos in Nigeria should be very afraid now. In fact they would probably avoid travelling to any Western country.

Don't be surprised if someone snitched on this Obi guy. There's also feud among these scammers. I think it's very silly going to US after causing such havoc to a US national. But perhaps in the end he needs to pay for his acts. So that his karma is inevitable.

ValCon888:
This is how to sentence a fraudster.

The Nigerian Criminal Justice System needs to take a page from the American System.

30 years in jail serves as an adequate deterrent for potential fraudsters. But in Nigeria, yahoo boys will commit fraud and be given a mere 6 months imprisonment. Just in time to come out and continue from where they stopped.

The EFCC Act, Criminal Code, Penal Code, and all other necessary legislation needs to be overhauled to combat this cankerworm that has eaten deep into the moral fabric of this country.

Youve spoken well, but most of those who can initiate the reforms are deeply entrencbed in the malaise.

[s]Just shut up, the billions of dollars Abacha stole and kept in Swiss banks was no soiling your names all over the world abi? How about the $16 billion Obasanjo stole[/s]?

Shut up.

This thread is about invictus.

If you want us to make our statements on Abacha or Obasanjo open a thread on it.

His wife will enjoy most of the proceeds, the houses, the cars, the properties bought in her name, the excess cash in her bank account; name it

Lol. If the prosecutor proves that those properties are the proceeds of his crime, the U.S. government would seize all those properties.
And Invictus would most likely have to pay restitution to his victims. So, his wife/girlfriend won't get to enjoy anything

I'm sure in wealthy countries like Norway the citizens root for the likes of invictus.

Maybe they should sub him for you. So you can die in there.

Has he been tried and convicted already?

He would beat the case right?

Rubbish so na only mouth you get.

Dangerous enablers that will cheer one to his grave.

Obi will do the time and serve his punishment even if you continuosly bang your skull against a wall for the next 10 years.

SuperS1Panther:
If this was in Nigeria the noise would have been:

FG is bringing down a "hardworking and successful" red mud dweller and Democracy would have been in danger.

Max 2 years he's out.

I can see how much Buhari syndrome has damaged your psyche. You better go and queue for Tradermoni.

There was nowhere in my comment that Obi would not serve his sentence. However, the erroneous claim that he would serve 30 years is insane. Never happened and never will.

The idiot should be thrown into an underground prison.
Bloody greedy mofo!

jealous fool, never do well, you don't know anything than to comment trash on nairaland.

Commentor:

You're missing the point. You don't prejudge a case that's pending in court. There's a presumption of innocence until a person is found guilty. This may be very difficult for you to understand though.

He's going to boarding house even better than Kings college Lagos boarding house.

Biritiko:

I don't know why we Nigerians want to make it big by all means. I am sure before the FBI uncover invictus Obi's dark secret as a con man a lot of Nigerian youths were aspiring to be like him.

If the that 30years' jail term is added to his present age then what is left of the remainder of his life.Crime does not pay.

I dont think he is that dumb. He must either have been tricked to come to the US or his physical presence was needed to finalize his heist (overconfidence or just been too greedy)!
He just never knew he was already on the FBI's watch list..

This mumu man was the reference point of many parents on how disappointed they are in their children for failing to be enterprising!

guynextdoor:

Awesome contribution, bro! You've said it all, "politicians are the greatest thieves, and their greed is what has pushed a lot of people into crime!" Some months ago, I marveled when a friend, whom I know to be very decent, confided in me that he was in need of someone to teach him "yahoo yahoo." The fellow in question is very hardworking yet he could barely feed himself or his family. This is the experience of countless youths across the country, and we expect crime rate to drop? "Impossicant! Some of us know what we would have turned out to be, but for strong parental guidance coupled with prayers. But not everyone has this privilege, and most would veer off into crime at the slightest provocation. What these small small boys steal is peanuts compared to what our politicians have amassed for themselves and their generation unborn. I dare say that politicians are the bane of this country! I still look forward to the day God will give us a man that will not hesitate to slaughter them all, and spill their accursed blood on the streets so that this nation can be free. But will that day come? I know not And even if it does, will it be in this century? Only God knows

He who lives in a glass house should not throw stone. I am not in support of all this kill them all or slaughter thing. what we need is a genuine truth and reconciliation meeting, return of 90% of all stolen wealth. Entrenchment of strong independent institutions, 10 years later you will realize there was no need to create a river of blood!

Disgracing Nigeria up and down,30 years untop your age, u go turn ancestor for there,have fun

day and night. He is serving 15 years in total.

ogbonti:
if convicted, he will be reported to have committed suicide after 5 years in jail - they will waste this one in jail - aint coming out alive!

He might be given 5 years inprisonment. A Nigerian guy who stole £20 million from British people got only 5 years sentence in 2012.

WriterNig:
Obinwanne Okeke, the Nigerian young ‘businessman’ who was recently arrested in the United States for $11 million fraud, could spend up to 30 years in jail if convicted.

Mr Okeke was charged with two counts of computer fraud and wire fraud, which carry a maximum 10 and 20 years respectively, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.

Mr Okeke, widely known as Invictus Obi, is being remanded at 401 Courthouse Square, Alexandria, VA 22314, which serves as the district headquarters of the U.S. Marshall Service.

His remand order was issued at a preliminary hearing shortly after his arrest.

Mr Okeke was arrested on August 6 in Alexandria, Virginia, just moments before he was scheduled to return to Nigeria.

He appeared before Michael Nachmanoff, a magistrate with the District Court of Eastern District of Virginia, on August 7 to answer charges of wire fraud.

The charges were investigated by the F.B.I. and filed against Mr Okeke by the U.S. Department of Justice, with both authorities saying they were convinced that Mr Okeke duped a UK subsidiary of Caterpillar up to $11 million in business email fraud, amongst other charges.

Mr Okeke has since hired John Iweanoge, a Washington D.C. criminal attorney of Nigerian origin, as his lead defence counsel.


Indefinite remand


Mr Okeke did not enter a plea at his initial arraignment, but he was remanded in custody indefinitely in accordance with the U.S. federal laws on the nature of the criminal complaints against him, according to Joshua Stueve, a spokesperson for the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia.

His remand would last until a jury has been selected to look into the charges against him, which may take several weeks.

“It may take another two weeks before a new date is fixed for him to appear in court again,” Mr Stueve told PREMIUM TIMES on Wednesday.

The spokesperson, however, warned that Mr Okeke would likely get below the maximum sentence.

“Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors,” Mr Stueve said.
