Nigerian Man Jailed Eight Years in US Over $7.5m Charity Email Scam
A US federal court has sentenced Nigerian national Olusegun Adejorin, 32, to eight years in prison for a business email compromise scheme that diverted more than $7.5 million from two charitable organisations. The court found that Adejorin used spoofed email domains and compromised employee accounts to impersonate staff and request fraudulent fund withdrawals. The money was sent to bank accounts not belonging to the victim organisations. Adejorin was extradited from Ghana in August 2024 and convicted by a federal jury in December 2025. He will also serve three years of supervised release after completing his prison term.
