A dual UK and Nigerian citizen has been handed a seven-year prison sentence for engaging in a business email compromise (BEC) scheme which swindled more than $1.9 million from a North Carolina university and tried to extract over $3 million from several entities in Texas. This sentence was pronounced after Oludayo Kolawole John Adeagbo, 45, who also goes by the aliases John Edwards and John Dayo, was extradited from the UK in August 2022 to face the charges.
