A 43-year-old Nigerian national, Okwudilichukwu Bobokwu Idoko, has been sentenced to life in prison in South Africa for human and s*x trafficking offences.
The Hawks’ Serious Organised Crime Investigation secured life imprisonment for Okwudilichukwu Bobokwu Idoko (43) in the North Gauteng High Court on Friday, 30 March 2023 for Contravening the Trafficking in Persons Act, S*xual Offenses Related Act and Immigration Act.
Okwudilichukwu was arrested on the morning of Monday, 28 October 2019 in the Brakpan area. He was arrested along with Ike Christopher Emeka Chukwu (53) and two other local ladies who were eventually acquitted after they turned out to be victims.
The court imposed a life sentence on Okwudilichukwu whilst Ike Christopher Emeka Chukwu received a one-year imprisonment suspended for five years with an option of R1000 fine. Both have been declared undesirable persons, with Chukwu now handed to the Department of Home Affairs for a deportation process to be instituted.
The Gauteng Provincial Head of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation Ebrahim Kadwa has lauded the investigators and prosecution team for a sterling job that resulted in the conviction and sentencing of the accused.

Meanwhile, a Nigerian-American citizen, Bamidele Ismail, has been found feeling roaming the streets of Carrollton in Dallas, Texas.
The Nigerian is reportedly suffering from a mental illness and was spotted by another Nigerian who was driving past.
The Nigerian interrogated Bamidele, who though could speak, wasn’t very coherent in getting in ideas across. He could evidently be seen to be suffering a sort of mental illness.
The Nigerian who spotted Dele recorded the encounter and shared it online, calling for his family to be found and informed about their son’s condition.
On social media, the video was shared with the caption: “This man, Bamidele Ismail by name, was found in the City Limits Apartments in Carrollton, Dallas, yesterday 2nd April 2023. He lacks coherence💔💔 and he is from Nigeria. He is an American Citizen but Nigerian by birth.
“Please, spread till we see someone that knows him or his relatives. He has some mental disorder. God bless you as you spread and tag the right Authority to look into his case, Thank you 🙏”
