The situation erupted during the Serie A match between Udinese and Lazio on March 11, 2024, when he was booked for time-wasting with his team leading 2-1 at the 64th minute.

A rush of suspicious betting activity around the goalkeeper receiving a yellow card was flagged to the authorities, who launched an investigation.

They found that most of those bets, which at 8/1 odds allegedly generated over €120,000 in winnings, were based around the provinces of Udine.

Okoye was investigated along with three friends and he was deferred to the disciplinary commission in June 2025.
