HOUSTON – A 36-year-old Houston resident has been ordered to federal prison following his convictions of bank and wire fraud in two separate cases, announced U.S. Attorney Jennifer B. Lowery.

Julius Joachim Ohumole pleaded guilty Nov. 12, 2021.

Today, U.S. District Judge Hughes ordered he serve a total of 97 months in federal prison to be immediately followed by five years of supervised release.

At the time of his plea, Ohumole admitted he defrauded Regions Bank of over $1 million. Specifically, he opened a bank account in the name of Mars Construction using false identification documents identifying himself as Kenneth Davis.

Later, he accompanied another individual to Regions who used false identification documents to represent himself as a Regions accountholder. Ohumole asked for this person to be a co-signer on the Mars account, thereby allowing it to be linked to the real person’s account.
