A 39-year-old Nigerian businessman and Lagos-based real estate CEO, Edwin Omokhuale, has been arrested by officers of An Garda SÃochána at Dublin Airport in Ireland.
The UK National Crime Agency (NCA) announced the arrest on Wednesday, September 10, 2026, confirming that Omokhuale was detained on a UK arrest warrant while preparing to board a flight to Paris.
Investigators allege that Omokhuale was involved in a complex money laundering scheme in early 2023 that tricked employees of an Australian mining company into transferring $23 million (£17 million) into compromised bank accounts.
Extradition proceedings have commenced to return him to the UK for trial.
"Omokhuale is facing money laundering allegations linked to the suspected fraud, which occurred in early 2023 and involved approximately US$23 million." — UK National Crime Agency (NCA)
