US-based Nigerian Man bags 40 years imprisonment for drug trafficking

A Nigerian man based in the United States, US, identified as Oluwole Adegboruwa, has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for drug trafficking.
This was revealed in a statement obtained on the website of the United States Attorney’s Office, District of Utah on Friday.
Adegboruwa, alongside his accomplice, Enrique Isong, were found guilty of masterminding a multi-million dollar dark web drug trafficking operation, and were both sentenced to 40 years in prison.
While Adegboruwa was sentenced to 30 years of imprisonment, he was also ordered supervised release for life and the forfeiture of over $20 million.
The $20 million forfeiture is among the largest forfeitures holding a defendant financially accountable for his crimes in the history of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Utah.
The sentence, imposed by U.S. District Court Judge Jill N. Parish, comes after a jury found Adegboruwa and his co-defendant Isong, guilty in May 2024 of multiple federal crimes, including conspiracy to distribute oxycodone and money laundering.
