The appellate court on July 1, 2022, sentenced Nwaoboshi to prison after it convicted him on a two-count charge of money laundering.

It also ordered the winding up of his two firms, Golden Touch Construction Project Ltd and Suiming Electrical Ltd, under Section 22 of the Money Laundering Prohibition Act 2021, and their properties forfeited to the Federal Government.
