NEW YORK - Prosecutors have accused a Nigerian man of trying to swindle nearly $27 million from an account in New York held by Ethiopia's central bank.

The U.S. Attorney's office in New York says Paul Gabriel Amos pleaded not guilty Friday to conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud.

The government says the 37-year-old man sent fake documents to a Citibank office in New York where the National Bank of Ethiopia kept funds. The documents claimed to authorize transfers to accounts around the world controlled by Amos and coconspirators.

A complaint signed by FBI agent Bryan Trebelhorn said the fraud was discovered when the overseas banks returned funds to Citibank.

A court-appointed attorney said Amos was in plea discussions.

Dem don come again!

OP this your title na wao.

Our image dragged into the mud again. Hmmm.

fellas,

Don't worry mon, this too shall pass. All I want to know is what really infiltrates/encourages some Nigerians to commit this kind of “crime”? If you ask me, seems like this has become a part of the Nigerian culture and a hobby to some but I stand to be corrected.
Guess what? Tourism is still booming in Nigeria. Nigeria is one of the most recognized/influential countries in the world. And in my book, you guys are smart and intelligent. See, there are still positive things to say about Nigeria and Nigerians.

are they sure the man is Nigerian? With that kind of name he could be from anywhere.

what evidence are they basing his nationality on? I'm not saying he's not but they need to make sure.

I am pretty sure they have records!!
