The former director of Pittsburg State's College
of Business is facing federal charges of
defrauding Nigerian graduate students recruited
to attend the school.
Federal prosecutors said Wednesday that 61-
year-old Michael Muoghalu of Pittsuburg faces
one count of wire fraud and one count of money
laundering.
Muoghalu is accused of taking more than $148,000
in refunds due to the Nigerian students in
Pittsburg State's Masters of Business
Administration program.
The Pittsburg Morning Sun reports that
prosecutors allege that beginning in 2006 Muoghalu
worked with an unknown accomplice in Nigeria to
persuade 15 Nigerian students to give him part of
the refunds they received on deposits for tuition
and fees.
Muoghalu was suspended in June and resigned
Sept. 15.
