Simon Guobadia Indicted Over Alleged Millions of Dollars in Tax Fraud
Nigerian businessman Simon Guobadia, the former husband of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams, has reportedly been indicted by federal prosecutors in Georgia, United States, over alleged tax fraud involving millions of dollars.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Guobadia was indicted on Tuesday, October 27, 2026. He faces two counts of allegedly helping to prepare and file false federal tax returns.
Prosecutors Allege False Tax Returns
Federal prosecutors allege that Guobadia provided inaccurate financial information when filing his tax returns in 2021.
In March 2021, he reportedly declared zero taxable income despite allegedly knowing that his actual earnings were higher. During the same period, his company, Simcol Petroleum Limited, recorded more than $45 million in gross sales.
Prosecutors also questioned a tax filing submitted in July 2021. In that return, Guobadia allegedly reported taxable income of $58,231, while his company recorded nearly $31 million in gross sales.

Arrest Warrant Issued for Simon Guobadia
Court records reportedly show that an arrest warrant has been issued for Simon Guobadia. However, it remains unclear whether authorities have taken him into custody.
The allegations are yet to be determined in court. An indictment does not amount to a conviction.
Guobadia’s Marriage to Porsha Williams
Simon Guobadia married Porsha Williams in November 2022. However, their marriage ended after Williams filed for divorce in February 2024, about 15 months later.
Their separation attracted significant public attention. Reports also indicated that Williams secured their multimillion-dollar Atlanta mansion and a seven-figure settlement earlier in 2026.
Guobadia was also deported from the United States in 2025 following immigration-related issues.
The latest indictment adds another legal development to the Nigerian businessman’s public profile as he faces allegations relating to his 2021 tax filings.
