Former US President Donald Trump Shot But Escapes Assassination Attempt
A 37-year-old Nigerian, Abiola Kayode, has been sent from Ghana to the U.S. to face cybercrime charges. He was on the FBI’s Most Wanted Cyber Criminals List for a fraud scheme that stole over $6 million from businesses.
Kayode was arrested in Ghana in April 2023. After the U.S. requested his extradition, he was handed over to FBI agents and brought to Nebraska.
In court on December 11, 2024, a judge ordered him to stay in custody until his trial. He is accused of using fake emails to trick employees into sending money to accounts controlled by him and his team. Some of the stolen money was funneled through victims of online romance scams.
Authorities are working to bring cybercriminals like Kayode to justice.
