Westminster Magistrates’ Court has put Ghanaian oil magnate Kevin Okyere, 45, on notice: appear by 10:05 AM on September 3, 2025, or face an arrest warrant.
The Springfield Group founder is accused of a $29.3 million fraud scheme tied to a gasoline cargo deal, according to exclusive details from The New Republic.
Kevin Okyere, head of Springfield Exploration and Production (SES), allegedly misled EDURC Company DMCC with false promises to settle a $29,321,064.51 debt for fuel delivered to Tema, Ghana, on September 5, 2024. Court documents dated August 13, 2025, reveal he knew repayment was impossible, aiming to profit at others’ expense.
Charged under Sections 1 and 2 of the Fraud Act 2006, Okyere faces severe penalties, including potential prison time or hefty fines. The court, located at 181 Marylebone Road, London, demands his presence 30 minutes early for the hearing. Failure to comply could trigger a warrant or a trial in absentia.
