Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work. Buyer was sentenced in 2023 to 22 months in prison for illegal stock trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000 in ill-gotten gains and pay a $10,000 fine.

 NPF SECURES CONVICTION IN $1 MILLION INTERNATIONAL OIL FRAUD CASE


…as IGP Egbetokun Commends Officers’ Investigative, Prosecutorial Dedication


The Nigeria Police Force has secured the conviction of one Mr. David Udensik, also known as Dr. Jacob Bello, for his role in a transnational oil-related fraud scheme amounting to over One Million United States Dollars (USD $1,000,000).


The conviction followed a petition by a United States–based energy company, alleging that the suspect obtained funds from the firm under the pretext of facilitating legitimate crude oil transactions in Nigeria.


Acting on the petition, operatives of the Nigeria Police Force – National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC) commenced investigations which revealed that the suspect, between 2018 and 2023, operated a coordinated criminal network that forged documents purportedly emanating from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and other regulatory platforms to deceive the victim company. Forensic analyses confirmed that the documents, seals, and authentication materials presented by the suspect were entirely counterfeit. Funds traced through the scheme were found to have been diverted into accounts linked to the suspect and his accomplices.


Following diligent investigative and prosecutorial efforts, the Federal High Court, Abuja, on 22nd October 2025, convicted Mr. Udensik on charges bordering on Forgery, Obtaining by False Pretence, and Money Laundering. The Court further ordered the forfeiture of assets valued at several hundreds of millions of Naira, including real estate and other properties derived from the proceeds of the crime, to facilitate restitution to the victim company.


Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, has commended the officers involved in the investigation and prosecution for their professionalism. He affirms the commitment of the Force to protecting Nigeria’s corporate integrity and ensuring that cyber-enabled financial criminals, irrespective of status or location, are brought to justice.
