Nigerian Real Estate CEO Arrested in Dublin Over Alleged $23m UK Fraud
Edwin Omokhuale, a 39-year-old Nigerian real estate executive, was arrested at Dublin Airport while preparing to board a flight to Paris. Irish police detained him on a UK-issued warrant in connection with alleged money-laundering offences linked to a 2023 fraud against an Australian mining company. The alleged fraud involved about $23 million. Investigators believe those involved deceived company employees into sending funds to bank accounts they controlled. Omokhuale is expected to appear before a Dublin court as extradition proceedings to the UK begin.
