A 45-year-old Nigerian man, Okeoghene Patrick Udugba, residing in Frisco, Texas, is indicted in the United States on federal charges related to an alleged romance scam and business email compromise scheme. Multiple reports say a US federal grand jury has charged him over conduct prosecutors describe as involving deception through online romantic engagement and fraudulent communications, including the use of fake invoices. According to the accounts, the alleged scheme results in losses exceeding $300,000 to a US government agency. The reporting describes the case as combining elements of romance fraud and email fraud, and frames it as an alleged effort to extract money through fabricated claims and compromised messaging. The sources agree on the defendant’s name, age, location, the jurisdiction (Texas, via a US grand jury), the core components of the alleged conduct (romance scam and email-related fraud such as fake invoices), and the estimated amount lost by the affected US government agency. The reports do not provide details on a trial date, pleaded response, or any confirmed outcome at this stage.
