Lagos Man Jailed 8 Years for Laundering Over ₦90 Million

Lagos Man Jailed 8 Years for Laundering Over ₦90 Million

A Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, has sentenced Fidelix Samuel Ebuka to eight years and three months behind bars for laundering more than ₦90 million. Justice Yellim Bogoro delivered the ruling after Ebuka, who was arraigned by the EFCC on June 10, 2026, changed his plea to guilty on a 14-count charge under the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022. Prosecutors told the court that Ebuka retained ₦90,989,517 in a Union Bank account despite knowing the funds were proceeds of unlawful activity.

Do you think an eight-year sentence fits laundering over ₦90 million, or is that too lenient for white-collar crime in Lagos?

It's interesting that he changed his plea before sentencing—makes you wonder what evidence EFCC had to secure conviction so swiftly.

I'm not convinced this sentence will deter others; high-profile convictions feel symbolic unless enforcement stays consistent.
