A Nigerian fraudster, Jacob Olalekan Ponle, also known as Woodberry, has been handed eight-year and three-month jail sentence by a federal judge in the United States for orchestrating a multimillion-dollar fraud.
According to court palers, Woodberry was sentenced on July 11 by Judge Robert Gettleman of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago.
Gettleman said, “The defendant is hereby committed to the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons to be imprisoned for a total term of 100 months as to count.”
Gettleman gave Woodberry instructions to present himself to the U.S. Marshal Service for transfer to the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, where he would be allowed visits from his family members and his American fiancée.
