May 30, (THEWILL) – Former Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria, Sandra Petgrave, seems to have gotten over the dark period in her life, in which she was jailed for committing fraud.
Sandra, who was crowned in 1992, was hauled off to serve a jail term of one and half years, while her co-conspirator, her husband, George Chukwuka was handed nine years for their roles in a $5.8 million mortgage fraud that spanned five years. The couple allegedly ran a fraud ring for four years, between 2006 to 2011, targeting the property/mortgage industry and causing extensive damage and losses to their victims to the tune of several millions of dollars.
Following her release, she was subjected to three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $1.1 million. Her husband has also completed his jail term and both of them have reunited.
While George is not much of a public person, Sandra on the other hand who courts publicity, keeps busy as a motivational speaker via her organisation called Success Brain Training, where she trains her clients on tips, proven strategies practised by the world’s top achievers to succeed in life.
Also, using her experience, she offers succour to the battered and beaten via a programme she aptly calls ‘Become HER’ which means Healed, Empowered, Reinvented. And what is more, she has embraced God like never before. Sandra had quietly relocated to America in the mid-nineties after her reign. She and her husband have six children together.
