Nigerian authorities allege that former education official Dibu Ojerinde diverted at least $13.7 million and have seized extensive domestic assets, but public records show two Florida properties worth about $1.2 million remain under family control and were not listed for confiscation; multiple indictments (2019, 2021, 2023) charge Ojerinde and several family members with diversion, fraud, and concealment, and trials are ongoing.
