A Nigerian man, Atuchukwu Markrufus Onyeanusi, has been sentenced in the United States after being convicted of fraud and misuse of visas, permits, and other documents linked to the use of a false identity to obtain employment.
United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that U.S. District Judge Camela C. Theeler handed down the sentence on May 20, 2026.
Onyeanusi, 32, was sentenced to time served—just under six months in custody—followed by one year of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
