US court sentences Nigerian to life imprisonment for murder

A Nigerian businessman, Ezeoma Chigozie Obioha was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole during an emotional court hearing on Monday.

The 32-year-old was sentenced for the 2015 murder of a woman who was blasted in the face with a shotgun as she walked into a restaurant in Hollywood with her boyfriend.

While the sentencing was on, Obioha sat showing no emotion as Carrie Jean Melvin’s relatives told the court that her killing had upended their lives, ktla.com reported.
