Two Nigerians living in the United States, Chijioke Timothy Odimegwu and Harafat Mogaji, are sentenced to a combined term of 15 years for their roles in an international cyber fraud scheme. The scheme involves defrauding businesses of more than $2.4 million, according to the reports.
Both outlets identify the defendants as US-based and link them to federal prosecution in the United States. Vanguard reports that Odimegwu and Mogaji receive a combined 189 months in federal prison, specifying Odimegwu as a resident of Delaware and noting his role alongside Mogaji in the fraud operation. The Punch similarly reports the case outcome as a total of 15 years but focuses less on sentencing details and other background facts.
While the outlets largely agree on the identity of the defendants, their US residency, the amount defrauded, and the prison terms, the presentation differs: Vanguard gives the sentencing in months and additional biographical context, whereas The Punch summarizes the punishment more directly in years.
