Popular online motivational speaker and self-proclaimed millionaire, Samuel Onuha, along with his brother Reuben Onuha, has been arrested in Dubai for smuggling 250kg of cocaine into the country.
Authorities say Samuel played a key role in an underground cocaine operation, leading to his dramatic arrest at his $50 million mansion in Dubai.
The brothers, known for their luxurious lifestyles and flashy social media posts, frequently flaunted their expensive travels, designer outfits, and exotic cars to their thousands of followers.
As the brothers await trial in Dubai, their fate remains uncertain. However, if found guilty, they could spend the next 25 years behind bars, marking a dramatic fall from grace for the once-celebrated entrepreneur and motivational speaker.

Before his arrest, Samuel marketed himself as a self-made millionaire and an advocate for financial freedom.
On social media, he described himself as follows:
“My name is Samuel Onuha. A 25-year-old self-made millionaire living in Amsterdam and Dubai. I wasn’t born rich. I grew up in a small village in the Netherlands with nothing. I moved from being broke to changing my life entirely in just a few years.”
Samuel often shared his rags-to-riches story, claiming he dropped out of school after his first online business success despite skepticism from those around him.
He positioned himself as a beacon of financial inspiration for young entrepreneurs, encouraging them to chase wealth and success.
The arrest of the Onuha brothers has shocked many social media users.
Many are currently questioning the true source of their wealth.
While Samuel portrayed himself as a successful businessman, it has now been exposed that his fortune was built on illicit activities.
