What is it with forcing Nigerian nationality on foreigners ?
Just because he has a Nigerian name doesn't make him a
Nigerian.

Bloggers need to use more creative approach to driving

Oh No, 20years jail term is too small,
They should sentence him to 150 years in jail with no option of parole, plus flog him daily with 50,000 lashes of koboko, confiscate all his assets as well, useless criminal denting the name of Nigeria and Nigerians

He also stole several return preparer’s Electronic Filing Identification Numbers (EFINs) and used them to secure tax-related bank products and services that facilitated the issuance of tax refunds, to include blank check stock and debit cards. Williams used the blank stock to print checks funded by the fraudulent refunds and directed some of the refunds onto debit cards.




One Nigerian identified as Kunle Sodipo Williams, who resided in St. Louis, Missouri in United States has pleaded guilty to mail fraud, aggravated identity theft, voter fraud and illegally re-entering the country after having been removed.



Williams will be sentenced in October as he faces a maximum 20 year jail term for the offences and deportation.



Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Stuart M. Goldberg of the Justice Department’s Tax Division and Acting U.S. Attorney Carrie Costantin for the Eastern District of Missouri, said Sodipo entered the guilty plea in a Federal court in Alabama.



According to documents filed with the court, Kevin Kunlay (Kunle) Williams aka Kunlay Sodipo, 56, and others stole public school employees’ IDs from a payroll company and used them to electronically file more than 2,000 fraudulent federal income tax returns seeking more than $12 million in refunds.


He also stole several return preparer’s Electronic Filing Identification Numbers (EFINs) and used them to secure tax-related bank products and services that facilitated the issuance of tax refunds, to include blank check stock and debit cards. Williams used the blank stock to print checks funded by the fraudulent refunds and directed some of the refunds onto debit cards.


Williams previously entered the United States from Nigeria under the name Kunlay Sodipo, but was deported in 1995. In 1999, Williams illegally returned to the United States from Nigeria using the last name Williams.



In 2012, Williams registered to vote in federal, state and local elections by falsely claiming that he was a U.S. citizen and voted in the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections.



Williams remains in federal custody and his sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 13 before Chief U.S. District Judge Rodney W. Sippel.



Williams faces a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for mail fraud, 10 years in prison for illegal reentry, five years in prison for each voter fraud count and a mandatory minimum sentence of two years in prison for aggravated identity theft.



He also faces a period of supervised release, restitution, forfeiture and deportation.



Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Goldberg and Acting U.S. Attorney Costantin commended special agents of IRS Criminal Investigation, FBI and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service as well as the Dothan, Alabama Police Department and Alexander City, Alabama Police Department, who investigated the case.



Goldberg and Constantin also commended Trial Attorneys Michael C. Boteler and Charles M. Edgar, Jr. of the Tax Division, who are prosecuting the case with assistance from the U.S. Attorney’s Offices in the Eastern District of Missouri and Middle District of Alabama.

All you childish set of people on Nairaland, pls tell me when will you comment maturely on any crime thread without targeting a set of people I don't know where this juvenile delinquency syndrome of Afonja Flatis and Gworo chewers tags originated from. After all the money spent on making you all a better people, you guys refuse to be civilized and fight crime with one voice. Don't be surprised!! Your children will emulate all this rubbish in times to come merci.
