He was arraigned on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 on a two-count charge, bordering on money laundering.

Magaji informed the court that Okechukwu had a total sum of £15,020 and $704 (Fifteen Thousand and Twenty British Pounds) and $704 (Seven Hundred and Four Dollars) and that while he declared £7000 (Seven Thousand British Pounds) he kept back  £8020 (Eight Thousand and Twenty Pounds Sterling) and $704 (Seven Hundred and Four Dollars), claiming that he lost his brother and was going to use the undeclared sums to fly his corpse back to the country. 


At Friday’ sitting, Justice Bogoro convicted and sentenced him to six months imprisonment on both counts or to pay  N200, 000 (Two Hundred Thousand Naira) on each. In addition, he forfeited the sums of £8,020 and $704 to the federal government.
