Former Nigerian jumper, hurdler and sprinter, Seigha Porbeni, is sad over the travail of African Games 100 meters champion, Raymond Ekevwo, and five other athletes, who have been indicted by the United States of America for wire and mail fraud.
Already, two of the athletes, Emmanuel Ineh and Toluwani Adebakin, have been convicted by America of Internet fraud and will be sentenced to 10 years in jail.
According to a statement released by America’s attorney’s office of the southern district of Mississippi, the two Nigerians pleaded guilty to charges of sending thousands of illicitly obtained proceeds to fraudsters in Nigeria as part of a larger mail fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering conspiracy.
The two Nigerians are said to be roommates at William Carey University and were arrested after they were found culpable of committing Internet crimes.
