The billionaire lifestyle of a yahoo boy has come to an end, as he has been sentenced to two years in prison in Abuja.
The convict, Chima Hyginus Nkwocha, a.k.a "Young Billionaire," was sentenced after he was found guilty of cheating by impersonation and money laundering.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, who secured the conviction, in a statement, revealed that Nkwocha was jailed on Tuesday, December 31, 2024.
According to the statement, Nkwocha was arraigned before Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court, Maitama, Abuja, on a two-count charge bordering on cheating by impersonation and money laundering.
