Abiola Femi Quadri, 43, living in Pasadena, California, has been sentenced to over 11 years in prison for stealing $1.3 million in COVID-19 unemployment and disability benefits. He used fake names and stolen identities to apply for over 100 claims in California and Nevada.
He used the stolen money to build a 120-room resort in Nigeria called Oyins International, which includes a nightclub, a shopping mall, and other luxury features. He also sent at least $500,000 to Nigeria.
Quadri got U.S. residency through a fake marriage and was caught at Los Angeles airport in September 2024 while trying to leave for Nigeria. He also ran a daycare business that received state funds and was found with stolen food-aid cards and fake checks worth over $3.3 million.
He has been ordered to repay the money and pay a $35,000 fine.
