Samuel Onuha, a well-known internet motivational speaker and self-described millionaire, and his brother Reuben Onuha were detained in Dubai for smuggling 250 kg of cocaine into the nation.
Samuel was arrested in a dramatic manner at his $50 million Dubai villa after authorities said he was a key player in an underground drug business.
Known for their extravagant lifestyles and ostentatious social media posts, the brothers regularly showed off their costly trips, high-end clothing, and exotic vehicles to their thousands of followers.
As the brothers await trial in Dubai, their fate is uncertain. However, if convicted, they may face 25 years in prison, marking a spectacular fall from grace for the once-famous entrepreneur and motivational speaker.
Despite doubts from others around him, Samuel often spoke about his journey from poverty to wealth, claiming to have left school following his first internet business success. He presented himself as a source of financial motivation for aspiring business owners, inspiring them to strive for success and fortune.
Many people on social media are shocked by the Onuha brothers' detention. Nowadays, a lot of people are wondering where their wealth really comes from.
Although Samuel presented himself as a prosperous businessman, it has since come to light that his wealth was derived from illegal activity.
