Jonathan Okigbo, a convicted killer, has shocked many by continuing his predatory behavior while behind bars.
Despite being sentenced to 14 years for manslaughter, Okigbo has been found active on dating sites, where he engaged with numerous women without them knowing his criminal past.
His actions were uncovered after a women’s group exposed him as a serial pest on platforms like Hinge and Facebook.
The Profile Behind Bars
Okigbo, 31, was convicted for the 2018 manslaughter of Harry Uzoka, one of Britain’s top black male models.
Despite being imprisoned, Okigbo managed to create a dating profile, showcasing a picture of him in workout gear—a photo that was actually taken in the gym of his prison.
His attempt to reach out to several unsuspecting women raised alarms, especially after he revealed his criminal background to some of them.
Women Speak Out
Women who came into contact with Okigbo shared their unsettling experiences online.
One woman recalled matching with him on Hinge, where they exchanged messages before he casually mentioned his imprisonment for manslaughter.
“He almost seemed proud of what he’d done,” she stated.
Another woman, who had brief conversations with him, found his behavior suspicious, citing vague responses and an overall red flag.
These interactions prompted others to question how a prisoner could even have access to a phone and the internet, leading to further concerns.
Violating Prison Rules
Okigbo’s actions didn’t stop at just online flirting. This wasn’t his first violation of prison rules regarding phone use.
In fact, he had previously been caught with a mobile phone in 2019 when he posted selfies from prison.
His first brush with breaking the rules resulted in an investigation, and prison officials confiscated the device.
The recent discovery of his dating activity on the internet adds fuel to the fire, with many now calling for strict consequences for his actions.
The Victim’s Story
Okigbo’s conviction stems from the tragic death of Harry Uzoka, a rising star in the modeling world.
Okigbo, alongside two accomplices, was convicted for his manslaughter after a deadly confrontation in West London.
The crime was triggered by a jealous rivalry over a woman, Ruby Campbell, Harry’s girlfriend.
Harry’s mother, who has mourned the loss of her son, shared an emotional tribute in court, expressing the pain and void his death has left in their lives.
An Ongoing Investigation
The prison service, despite its strict security measures, is under scrutiny as the investigation into how Okigbo obtained a mobile phone for a second time continues.
With measures like body scanners and metal detectors in place, questions remain as to how contraband devices are making their way into the hands of inmates.
This has prompted officials to launch a full investigation into the matter.
As Okigbo continues his sentence, it’s unclear whether these violations will lead to additional time behind bars.
Authorities have indicated that they will take the strictest action against inmates caught with unauthorized phones, which may include extended sentences.
