As his trial neared its conclusion, Nigerian national Uche Raymond Okoye yesterday buckled and admitted that he indeed defrauded a woman of over $6 million under the false pretense of having a package for her.
Prosecutor Tuanna Hardy, of the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU), which had instituted the charges, was due to call her final two witnesses when Okoye changed his plea to guilty.
Magistrate Annette Singh has deferred sentencing until November 11, when defence attorney Melville Duke will submit a plea in mitigation on behalf of his client.
