Notorious fraud suspect Osondu Victor Igwilo, popularly known as “Ezeego King of the Boys,” has been extradited to the United States to face trial over alleged financial crimes involving more than $100 million.

Igwilo was transferred from the Kuje Custodial Centre in Abuja on June 15, 2026, and is expected to appear before a U.S. District Court in Houston, Texas. U.S. authorities allege that he masterminded a transnational fraud and money laundering network that operated across multiple countries.

According to investigators, the syndicate used phishing emails and fake identities to impersonate senior executives of major American financial institutions, including JPMorgan Chase and BB&T. Victims were allegedly deceived with promises of large investment returns and inheritance payouts, but were first required to pay various processing and advance fees.

Authorities further allege that proceeds of the scheme were funneled through several bank accounts and used to acquire luxury assets in Nigeria.

Igwilo had reportedly been on the FBI’s wanted list since 2016 before his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Lagos in 2022. He is facing charges including conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and aggravated identity theft.
