Back in 2014, Kevin Okyere and his wife were involved in a money laundering drama after they were tied to Diezani’s looting
A report by the SaharaReporters reveals that Kevin Okyere almost found himself in a legal issue after a mansion he purchased on May 30, 2014, for the astonishing sum of £4.5 million, was tied to a Nigerian politician who was alleged to be involved in money laundering.
The outlet adds that the documents about his mansion proved he had connections with former Nigerian Minister for Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, who was alleged to have been involved in a legal battle.
A third individual who happened to be the Ghanaian man’s wife, Melanie Spencer, had £10,000 detained by British authorities operating under the Proceeds of Crime Act.
Since the detention of these funds, SaharaReporters found that Melanie Spencer, implicated in the NCA’s investigations with Alison-Madueke, is a resident at 14A St Johns Wood Road, NW8 8RE in London.
On October 2, 2015, agents of the UK National Crime Agency busted Ms. Melanie Spencer at the address of Mr. Okyere’s Springfield Oyoko Ltd (now dissolved) with the sum of £10,000. The UK anti-corruption unit approached the Westminster Magistrate Court in London with an application asking to freeze Ms. Spencer’s £10,000 until April 2016. The application was granted.
It’s already been 9 years since this legal issue ensued, and for now, there haven’t been any details about the case.
