According to
controversial Nigerian investigative journalist, Dr, Kemi Olunloyo, Woodberry
fell ill nine days after his incarceration at the Moshannon Valley Correctional
Center.
Unconfirmed
reports reveal that Olalekan Jacob Ponle, also known as Woodberry, a close
associate who was arrested with Hushpuppi in Dubai for allegedly defrauding
almost two million people of about N168bn, has fallen ill.
“Hushpuppi
and Woodberry have spent 9 days in Moshannon federal prison. Sadly Woodberry
has fallen ill and being treated. They did not expect this. Criminal Fraudsters
$450M,” she tweeted.
Popularly
known as Moshannon Valley Correctional Center or Moshannon Valley CI is a
federal prison for men located in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, privately operated
by the GEO Group under contract with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. It has a
prisoner capacity of 1,878.
The police
authorities in Dubai disclosed that Hushpuppi and associates were wanted for
fraud in Europe, the US, and Nigeria. They were extradited to the US state of
Pennsylvania after week of their arrest.
Out of all
the suspects arrested with Hushpuppi, Woodberry is perhaps another high profile
person. He was known to be stupendously rich without a visible source of his
wealth.
Woodberry is
less open with his wealth. However, in March of 2019, he announced that he
acquired a twin collection of 2019 edition of Lamborghini Urus at over $200,000
and the 2019 Rolls Royce black badge dawn.
Last week
Thursday, the police in Dubai released the video showing the moment when Ray
Hushpuppi was arrested.
The video was
titled: ” @DubaiPoliceHQ takedown “Hushpuppi”, “Woodberry”, ten international
cybercriminals in a special operation dubbed “Fox Hunt 2” was released on the
official Twitter page of Dubai Police.
Brigadier
Jamal Salem Al Jallaf, Director of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) at
Dubai Police said Hushpuppi and his gang were planning a $435million cyber
fraud on a global scale, before they were busted.
