Dr. Wendy Osefo and her husband, Eddie Osefo, face charges of insurance fraud, conspiracy, and making false statements to police. Authorities say the couple reported a burglary at their Maryland home in April 2024 while on vacation in Jamaica, but investigators found no signs of forced entry and later discovered at least fifteen of the claimed stolen items inside the house.
Osefo’s legal team filed documents on October 17 asking a Maryland court to dismiss the case. They argue the arrest was illegal and the charging document was flawed. They also seek to block evidence, wiretaps, and statements from the investigation, calling them the products of unlawful searches or seizures. Osefo wants her trial separated from her husband’s and requests access to police reports, witness lists, and informant details.
Both posted $50,000 bail after their October 9 arrest in Westminster. A representative said they are home with their family and in good spirits. Osefo later shared a message of faith online.
