George Uboh, Fraudster Hired By AGF Malami, Arrested By DSS For Forgery

George Uboh, who was convicted for credit card fraud in the United States then deported back to Nigeria, was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) yesterday for fraud and forgery. Mr. Uboh was controversially hired by the Attorney General to the Federation (AGF) Abubakar Malami to locate money in Nigerian banks hidden unlawfully by powerful political and financial interests.


SaharaReporters published an expose on how Mr. Uboh, despite being sentenced to a nine-year prison sentence in the United States for credit card and banking fraud, was hired by Mr. Malami to act on his behalf to identify and repossess stolen assets domiciled in Nigerian banks.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) agents, speaking to SaharaReporters, also revealed that they had arrested Mr. Uboh for contract fraud involving police equipment.

According to a report published by SaharaReporters on April 25th, 2016, Mr. Uboh was sentenced by the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja to three years in prison for his role in orchestrating the equipment fraud. The court convicted him on three charges of criminal breach of trust when he was the Head of Security and Communication Department of the Police Equipment Foundation (PEF).

Sources speaking to SaharaReporters also disclosed that DSS agents conducted a search on properties belonging to Mr. Uboh today.

Mr. Uboh has never denied is fraudulent past or his incarceration in the US for nine years.

Mr. Malami received substantial criticism from the public and banking institutions in Nigeria following the realization that he hired a known criminal. This fueled concerns that Mr. Malami was competent enough to carryout his duties.

Use a thief to catch a thief and deal with the thief later. Use a fraud to catch a fraud. That is how we role.
To those in support of this, It is turn by turn. It will soon get to everybody's turn. Continue to applaud the human rights violation of this government.

But how did he get hired in the first place. didn't they do background check on him before hiring him? A whole fraud.

Its like government are hiring convicts and criminals who must remain loyal or face prosecution. Examples of criminals hired by government are plenty. If you are a PDP or a non loyal criminal, prison is your friend. But if it is the other way round, you are a change agent.

Like someone said. Freedom is over rated. True.
He was a convict like they said tinubu was. He was hired by AGF like tompolo was. Now he is in DSS net for exposing someone while those that exposed dasuki walks free.

Chai!!! Why did I spoil this comment that was fetching me likes like water?

Truth is under siege in Nigeria.

If you say the truth and it is against this government, DSS or EFCC cell will become your home.

1984 is here and lives with us.

However, one day one must pass on to after life. Abacha was served with the after life meal when his tyrany became too much.

A word is just ENOUGH

I support the government on this. Lock up the 5% people if they can't keep their mouth shut. undecided There is no absolute freedom anywhere in the world. For the fact that we are in democracy doesn't give anyone the right to criticize or condemn the government. Buhari is not the lilly livered GEJ who tolerates rumor mongers. The said man is even from the 5% region so his arrest is justifiable. God bless Buhari cool

A simple Google search on the subject would have revealed his character and save some of you the agonies and hatred eating up your biles.

I'm not a fan of this government but needless criticisms would only reveal that your antagonism have no objective basis.

It is corruption to see the crimes of an individual and do nothing about it only to bring it up when you percieve that the individual has done something against you. That for me is what the problem is; that is the problem with this government.

He was an ATM and bank fraudster sentenced to 9 years imprisonment in USA yet the AGF hired him to do investigation of tracing money in a bank for him.
He had worked with the police and later was indicted and sentence to 3 years imprisonment as a result of his fraud in the police.Prior to this,police didn't see him as a fraudster base on his criminal antecedents and still hired him to worked with them.However this fraudster was still giving contract of investigation by the government.
We all know how notorious sowore Omoleye media house can be.When its involve paid blackmail and character assassination.Especially if you have scores to settle with them.Recently they have tried to blackmail Facebook linking them with taking bribe from Bukora Saraki to close his Facebook account.
If you want to do your research especially if it involve international community crime.Sahara reporters and Nigeria's Lazy and corrupt bloggers are not your best bet.

I don't understand you oh! He committed a crime, he did the time. So how does that affect his getting such a job esp since the job doesn't involve management of public funds. He didn't even hide the fact that he had done time. Asides that, u don't throw away d baby with the bath water. I have always postulated that corruption thrives because the banks directly or indirectly aid it. Afterall nobody carries huge cash from nigeria to buy property overseas(except of cuz those highly placed govt officials e.g the arms issue(south africa). How then are these properties purchased abroad? They should instead investigate his claims. Simple.
