LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A Nigerian man was sentenced Thursday for stealing more than $6 million in a wire fraud scheme that victimized two Nebraska businesses.
Alex Ogunshakin, 41, was sentenced to three years and nine months in federal prison.
He will then spend three years on supervised release before being deported.
