I have been following up on crimes committed by Nigerians abroad. Just a hobby of mine.

Here are some:

Kizito Ugo Nwajeri gave Kirsty Birnie, of Aberdeen, £2,000 to fly to Nigeria with him and his lover for the nuptials, so he could renew his student visa.

The 31-year-old had claimed he was in love with the mum-of-one when they wed in a traditional ceremony in Lagos in 2010 and denied cash was ever exchanged.

But Miss Birnie, 30, who works as a domestic at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, said she was told to “name her price” and handed a bible stuffed with thousands of pounds during a meeting at an Aberdeen cafe.

It took a jury of eight women and seven men just under two hours to convict the Nigerian of the offence under the Immigration Act and a further charge of dealing cocaine.

Nwajeri had also denied dealing cocaine at locations across Aberdeen between September 2010 and May last year, but was found guilty of the charge.

Lord Kinclaven deferred sentence so that reports could be prepared and ordered for Nwajeri to be taken into custody.

Wife jailed for laundering husband’s drugs cash


A woman from Hemel Hempstead who helped her smuggler husband launder hundreds of thousands of pounds of drug money has been jailed for 40 months.

Chinonyerem Otuonye, 44, was arrested at her home in Sandmere Close last September after analysis of the couple’s bank account found she had made cash deposits totalling £483,000 over a four-year period and paid out £25,000 in travel costs.

She was sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court on Wednesday having admitted money laundering charges during a previous hearing.

Her husband Adegboyega Adeniji was sentenced to 30 years in prison at the same court in March, after he was found guilty of conspiring to smuggle a huge haul of drugs into the UK through Heathrow Airport.

In April 2011 Border Force officers stopped him with suitcases containing around 40 kilos of cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine – valued at more than £4 million – as he came off a flight from Amsterdam.

Investigators later discovered 23 other suitcases which tested positive for traces of drugs at a flat Adeniji was renting in Kilburn, London.



Investigators found Otuonye had three UK properties - with a combined value of around £430,000 - registered in her name, and another two - worth £200,000 - registered jointly with her husband. She also owned property and land in Egypt.

Around £500,000 of assets belonging to the couple have been frozen, including the UK properties, bank accounts and a BMW car bought for Otuonye by her husband, which will be the subject of Proceeds of Crime Act confiscation proceedings.

Assistant director Peter Avery, from Border Force Criminal and Financial Investigations, said: “Adeniji was a major player believed to be involved in the importation of tens – if not hundreds – of millions of pounds worth of class A drugs.

“His wife played a key role in the criminal network he was part of, laundering a good proportion of the profits and benefitting financially herself.

“By using the Proceeds of Crime Act we are now working to strip the couple of a significant amount of money and property to ensure they do not benefit from their criminal enterprise.”

Hakeem Curtis Ojo, Care home burglar jailed for five years



A 43 year-old man has been jailed after he burgled three flats in a residential care home in Croydon in April this year (2012).

Hakeem Curtis Ojo (d.o.b. 13/09/1968) of Middle Road, Norbury pleaded guilty at Croydon Crown Court on 12 July 2012 to three counts of burglary and was sentenced to five years imprisonment.

”The residents at these flats were extremely vulnerable and Ojo tried to take advantage of this"

On 4 April 2012, at approximately 08:00hrs, Ojo gained entry into a block of residential care homes in Stanford Road, SW16. It is thought that he may have followed somebody into the flats and then signed in to the visitors book under a false name.

Ojo went to visit one of the residents that he knew at the flats. However, when he was challenged as to why he was there by a member of staff, he left the flat. Staff called police shortly after, and it was discovered that Ojo had stolen the resident’s cheque book and had also disappeared inside the building and gained entry to another two flats.

One resident found him in her bedroom going through her clothing and, having been challenged, Ojo left the flat without taking anything. However, in doing so he left a bag on the bed, which later turned out to be property that he had taken from one of the other flats he had been in. Another resident also woke to find Ojo inside her flat. Again, he was challenged, and at this point he left the building. Police arrived later, but there was no trace of Ojo in the area.

However, Ojo returned to visit the person he knew at the flats on 9 April and when staff recognised him, police were called and arrested him on suspicion of burglary. He was interviewed and initially maintained that he had simply visited the person he knew and did not burgle any of the other flats.

However, having been identified by staff, as well as forensic evidence showing that he had indeed been in one of the other flats, Ojo decided to plead guilty at Croydon Crown Court on 12 July to all three counts of burglary.

PC Tracey Tarr, from Croydon’s Burglary Squad, who investigated the case said:

“Ojo tried to use the fact that he knew someone at the flats to explain his presence. However, accounts from the residents and staff completely contradicted this and coupled with the forensic evidence putting him inside the other flats meant that he obviously felt he had no other option than to plead guilty to burglary.

”The residents at these flats were extremely vulnerable and Ojo tried to take advantage of this, but thankfully staff were alert and he now faces a lengthy time behind bars.

Damola Olatunji, phishing scam artist

A Manchester man has been jailed for six and a half years for ripping off British students in a phishing scam that netted more than £1.5 million.

Damola Olatunji, sentenced on Friday at Southwark Crown Court, sent emails that included links to a bogus student loans website. Another man, Amos Mwangi, was jailed for three years in June over the same scam, although the Metropolitan Police have said there is no evidence the two were actually working together.

The victims were led to believe they needed to update the details on their accounts and, when they clicked through to do so, the phishers gained unauthorised access to their bank accounts. The amount they extracted from those accounts ranged from £1,000 to £5,000.

"Mwangi and Olatunji were determined fraudsters who systematically targeted British students in order to steal large amounts of money," detective inspector Jason Tunn of the Police Central e-Crime Unit (PCeU) said in a statement. "Despite the complexity of the investigation, PCeU investigators working closely with the Student Loan Company and other partners were able to identify those responsible and bring them to justice."

The arrests followed raids in London and Manchester last December. According to the Met, Mwangi "had numerous computer programs which enabled him to build phishing emails and register fake websites", while Olatunji had more than 1,300 student loan account login details.

Olatunji was directly linked to fraud worth £304,000 and attempted fraud worth £162,000, while investigators have also linked him to a separate £75,000 fraud that targeted customers of the Halifax bank.

Woman with £400k of cocaine hidden in bag jailed

A DRUGS mule stopped at Bristol Airport with cocaine worth £400,000 in her suitcase linings has been jailed for eight years.

Adetokunbo Ajoke Bakare claimed to have bought the suitcases from a roadside trader in Cameroon and denied any knowledge of the drugs when she was stopped in July last year.

But Bristol Crown Court heard that the 44-year-old had made eight return trips, seven from Bristol and one from Heathrow, to Cameroon and Nigeria in the 10 months leading up to her arrest.

She was also found to have travelled using a false Bristol address and money contaminated with heroin was found at her home in London.

Paul Onyenaychi : Man Who Cut Policemans Throat Loses Appeal Against Sentence


A KNIFEMAN dubbed “one of the most dangerous men in Britain” after attempting to murder two police officers has been told by top judges his 25-year minimum jail term was not a day too long.

John Paul Onyenaychi, 31, cut PC Paul Madden’s throat and slashed at community support officer Piotr Dolata in Ealing when he was detained after revenue inspectors kicked him off a bus in December 2010.

That attack was the culmination of a five-day spree of knife crime and, at London’s Old Bailey in October last year, Onyenaychi was jailed for life.

He had been convicted of two counts of attempted murder, one of robbery, one of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, plus an attempted wounding.

Teacher Keith Ogunsola Jailed for Raping Pupil (Sutton)

A serial rapist with a “penchant for young girls” prayed on the innocent young pupils whom he taught.

Father-of-three Keith Ogunsola raped one of his pupils when she was 14 and then again when she was 17 while she was trying to get over her trauma.

At Ogunsola’s sentencing at Croydon Crown Court on Friday, June 15, the victim’s family wept as a statement from the victim was read out.

Nigerian Jailed for Stanstead Immigration Fraud

A NIGERIAN woman who arranged for fellow Africans to travel illegally around Europe in a scam centred on Stansted has been jailed for two years.

The 33-year-old, who gave her name as Oluwaytin Oshodi, pleaded guilty to eight charges at Woolwich Crown Court – seven of assisting unlawful immigration within the EU and one of possession of fraudulent ID documents.

Oshodi, whose identity is disputed, was arrested by officers from the UK Border Agency’s Criminal and Financial Investigations Team at her home address in Brownhill Road, London, on 29 February this year.

Officers had been led to the address after two Nigerian nationals – Richard Aboro, 35, and Sandra Njaka, 23 – were arrested at Stansted Airport on February 4 as they attempted to board a flight to Tours in France using fake British passports. Checks revealed that their tickets had been purchased by Oshodi.

Further checks revealed that she had made five other bookings for African nationals to travel out of Stansted to Valencia using fake travel documents.

We Nigerians, are truly an UGLY breed. . . inside and out.
Are these apes or humans?

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/2012/june/28-illegal-identity-stolen

Two Nigerian men living in Luton have been jailed on the 15 June following an elaborate scam to steal the identity of a dead British man.

Finest Ifeanyi Arojie, 43, illegally entered the UK in 2005. The following year he obtained a copy of the birth certificate of a British man, James Samuel Walters, who died in New York in 1989.

In 2007 Arojie used the birth certificate to obtain a British passport in Mr Walters’ identity, stating that he had lost his previous passport. There was no record of Mr Walters’ death because it occurred outside the UK.

Arojie then used his fake British identity to gain employment as a forklift driver in Dunstable in July 2008.

In April 2009 Arojie sponsored the entry to the UK of a man claiming to be his 16-year-old son and calling himself Bright Walters. The pair lived at Old Bedford Road, Luton.

Emmanuel Ekhator, Nigerian fraudster handed over to US by EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has vowed that Nigeria would no longer be a safe place for Nigerian fugitive criminals fleeing from law enforcement agents in other countries.
According to the chairman of the anti-graft agency, Mrs. Farida Waziri, briefing some officers of the commission on the successful handover of a Nigerian, Emmanuel Ekhator, to a court in the United States on Thursday, this has become necessary so that no Nigerian will commit crime abroad and run home believing he/she would avoid prosecution.

A statement by Mr. Femi Babafemi, EFCC head, media & publicity, quoted Waziri as saying that Ekhator is the third Nigerian fugitive EFCC has handed over to the US authorities. She said that two others are currently awaiting extradition to the U.S

The EFCC boss said that while George Ubeozor was extradited in 2008, Sunday Adebisi Adegbesan was handed over in 2009 to the authorities in New York. Ehkator, she revealed, was indicted in the U.S. district court, in the Middle District of Pennsylvania on November 3, 2010 over a $32 million Internet collections scam.

He was arrested in Benin City, Edo State in August 2010 by EFCC operatives following top level exchange of information between U.S. law enforcement agents and the EFCC over the activities of a trans-border ring of Internet scammers headed by Ekhator.

The extradition process, filed through the office of the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, was eventually approved by a Federal High Court in Lagos on July 26, 2011.

The suspect was, however, flown to the U.S. on Wednesday and handed over to a District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania on Thursday by an officer of the EFCC.
Waziri tasked operatives working on other pending similar cases to intensify their efforts.

Waziri said: “With the latest extradition in addition to the two earlier done, and the two others pending, the message should be clear to anyone who travels abroad to commit crime and run back home to hide that Nigeria is no longer safe for them because, we will get them and hand them over to face the law.

“We will continue to do our best in this regard and with the continued support of the Attorney General of the Federation, we will surely make Nigeria unsafe for those fleeing from the long arm of the law in other jurisdictions because this country should never be a safe place for fugitive criminals.”

One would think that Nigeria was made of only Yoruba and Igbo peeps!
