Yahoo Boy, Dominic Onah convicted of money laundering in Makudi
The Makurdi Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) successfully secured the conviction and sentencing of Dominic Ogbeh Onah before Justice Abdul Dogo of the Federal High Court in Makurdi, Benue State on Monday, October 9, 2023.
Onah was sentenced after pleading guilty to a one-count charge related to money laundering. The charge specified that between January 1, 2021, and February 7, 2023, Onah acted as an intermediary for Gideon Akatu, Abah Manyi, and Awodi Oche (now at large), receiving and transferring the sum of N12,000,000 (Twelve Million Naira only) through his Venmo account. He retained 10% as commission. This act constituted an offence under Section 18 (2)(b) of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, punishable under Section 18 (3) of the same Act in 2022.
Following his guilty plea, Justice Dogo convicted and sentenced Onah to one year of imprisonment, with an alternative fine of N2,000,000.00 (Two Million Naira only). Additionally, the convict forfeited his iPhone 11 Pro Max, along with other proceeds of his crime.
Onah’s legal troubles began when operatives of the Makurdi Zonal Command of the EFCC arrested him for internet-related offences, leading to his prosecution and subsequent conviction.
