A Nigerian-born education professor, Dr. Nkechy Ezeh, is sentenced to 70 months in a US prison over a $1.4 million fraud scheme. Both reports say Ezeh, who has worked in education and previously served as a nonprofit executive in Michigan, is found to have diverted money that was intended to support vulnerable preschool children in underserved communities.
The outlets describe the case as a school-related fraud involving preschool funds, with the amount specified as $1.4 million. The sentencing is reported as nearly six years behind bars, based on the 70-month term imposed by a US court.
While the two sources provide consistent details about the defendant, the prison term, and the amount involved, they do not add further, differing specifics about the underlying transactions or the scope of the diversion beyond supporting preschool-age children. The reports present the same core account: Ezeh orchestrates the scheme and receives a substantial prison sentence in the United States.
