Who are cloud innovation's IP address range customers?
Cloud Innovation primarily leases their AFRINIC-allocated IPv4 addresses to entities outside Africa, including datacenters and hosting companies in Asia and Europe, which is precisely what sparked the original legal disputes with AFRINIC over resource utilization policies.

Is that legal?
It's most likely against the IP allocation policy/agreement. Violating an agreement is a civil matter.
However, purposefully entering agreements with intent to violate them can escalate to criminal fraud, amd wire fraud when money is involved. There'a certainly a question of jurisdiction when there's so many localities involved.
Some corrupt employee sold millions of IPs to this guy and he's been reselling them outside of Africa .
Is that covered by any actual law? Is some government entity responsible? Or is it just an anarchy breaking down?
No one wants to get a sovereign country involved in these issues if they can avoid it, because that is an even more giant can of worms. Because then it’s ’whose laws again?’.
And all these matters cross every international boundary as a matter of course.
Unfortunately, it is also enabling this particular situation.
