For every single criminal caught, hundreds still roaming on the streets and chance that they will ever be caught so thin. That said, 8 years for a crime that is worth almost 50 million pounds, isn't it too small. The justice system all around the world just favors crime, IMHO

It is sad though! The saddest thing is that many are not going to change soon looking at the state of things in the country. Not until the leaders fix the environment and create a working society this scam thing will be seen as a means of livelihood to many.

THIS IS AFFECTING THE INNOCENT NIGERIANS!

Please, sentence him to more years imprisonment!

Serves him right, in other news.......
After Super Eagles returned frm Brazil World
Cup, Our players were so ashamed of their
great failure that they decided to disguise
themselves so as not to be recognised... Mikel
disguised himself as a monk. While walking on
the streets of Lagos, suddenly, an old lady
walked up to him &
said, "Hi, Mikel!" Amazed & annoyed that an old
Lady had seen through his disguise, he went
back home & dressed like a malam. Again he
bumped into the same old lady & she said:
"How do you do, Mikel?" Confused
& puzzled, mikel asked, "but how did you
recognise me
Mama? The old lady laughed out loud & said,
are you stupid or what?. Its me,
Joseph Yobo!!!" LWKM.

The doofus judges who preside at Old Bailey are so silly angry. Just 8 years for a crime of this magnitude? One reason why I love the yanks. This ninja would have bagged nothing less that 20yrs in the US.

chuchu_o: Frank Onyeachonam, 38, of Canning Town, east London, ran the UK-end of a global scam that was orchestrated from his native Nigeria.

The Old Bailey heard how he extracted up to £600,000 from pensioners to fund a luxurious lifestyle.

He was jailed for eight years for charges of conspiracy to defraud.

The court heard how he deliberately targeted pensioners because they were potentially vulnerable to handover their life savings.


The conman had the nickname "Fizzy" because of all the champagne he drank

Proceeds from his con enabled Onyeachonam to buy a luxury flat in Canary Wharf with a view of The O2
The scam - known as an "advance fee" fraud - saw Onyeachonam send victims emails claiming they had won millions of pounds on a non-existent Australian lottery. He asked them to send him money so he could release their winnings.

Afterwards, the victims would then become hooked on the scam and made extra payments, which forced several victims to come out of retirement in order to pay back high-interest loans they had taken out to pay him.

Fourteen victims, mainly from the US but one from Britain, were found to have lost a total of about £900,000.


Money was found in his flat, described by police as an 'Aladdin's cave'
Emails showed victims pleaded with Onyeachonam to send them money to pay for healthcare, while some died before he could be brought to justice.

Some of those exploited by Onyeachonam were also investigated themselves after they were used as "pawns" to launder the proceeds of the fraud by sending on money from other victims or setting up business accounts.

When his luxury flat in Canary Wharf was raided, police discovered an "Aladdin's cave" of evidence, which included notebooks containing the names, addresses and cash tallies relating to 406 people.

If all of those in the notebooks suffered losses, the fraud is likely to have run to at least £5m and possibly as high as £30m.

Co-defendants Lawrencia Emenyonu, 38, and Bernard Armah, 51, both of Wood Green, north London, were found guilty of money laundering, and were jailed for 18 months and eight months respectively.

Onyeachonam was seen as the key figure in the UK but police suspect a criminal network was in place in several countries around the world.

Authorities found an alleged co-conspirator abroad had an email containing the details of more than 100,000 potential victims.

The alleged mastermind or "chairman" of the network is based in Nigerian capital Lagos and is currently under investigation by authorities there.
Our capital is Abuja not Lagos.
