Justice A. T. Mohammed of the Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has convicted and sentenced a fake oil magnate, Dr. Vincent Ayigor to a total number of one hundred and seventy-five (175) years in prison after he was convicted for duping an American, Joseph Crews, of the sum of $ 629, 287 (Six Hundred and Twenty Nine Thousand, Two Hundred and Eighty-Seven US Dollars only), in a crude oil supply scam.
He was jailed on Wednesday, December 8, 2021 and has since commenced serving his sentence, even as there are indications he may appeal the judgement.
