If i say F you say FLAT F. ..........
Nigerian man who allegedly duped a number of banks out of more than $100,000 faced a federal judge last Friday, April 21, after being arrested on April 10 by agents from the Department of Homeland Security and charged on four federal criminal charges.
Opeyemi Abdulahi Orekan, resident of Rhode Island was involved in an organized fraud ring that used fake passports from Nigeria and Ghana and fraudulent identities to defraud a number of banks out of tens of thousands of dollars. The federal government is charging him with bank fraud, passport fraud, identity theft and access device fraud.

Investigators say Orekan used nine different identities, including a number of passports from Nigeria, South Africa and Ghana, to open bank accounts at a number of bank branches including Bank of America, Webster Bank and Santander to deposit counterfeit checks and then withdraw bank funds. Counterfeit checks from NRG Residential Solar Solutions, the Viking Corporation and Bosch were deposited into accounts, according to the affidavit.

Orekan would then allegedly send the funds to an individual in Nigeria. The transactions occurred at a number of bank branches in Johnston, Lincoln, Pawtucket, Providence and Warwick. Bank America reported nearly $37,000 in losses from at least one of the accounts and another $26,000 from another one of Orekan’s accounts. Santander reported a near $20,000 loss in connection with Orekan.

He also allegedly used fake identities to open accounts at TD Bank, Wells Fargo and Chase Bank.
"Orekan has been engaged in lengthy pattern of fraud that has been perpetuated across at least 10 different financial institutions," says Keith Holleran, a special agent with the Dept. of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), in an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Providence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Lee Vilker told the court that investigators have gathered a number of records and evidence including passports that were found in a ceiling crawl space which, he said, has made their case stronger. A bag filled with passports was also found in an old, rolled-up carpet found by the property manager of one of the apartments where Orekan resided. That's when the property manager contacted the FBI.
Forensic tests of the passports determined that two Republic of Nigeria passports were altered and two Republic of Ghana passports were counterfeit. Four additional US admission stamps, machine readable visas adn two Ghana drivers licenses were also tested and determined to be counterfeit.
"He has a contact in Africa that is sending him these passports," Vilker told Magistrate Judge Patricia Sullivan during a hearing on Friday, as two of Orekan’s supporters sat behind him. “ICE tells me he can absolutely flee the country.”
Attorney John F. Cicilline, who is representing Orekan (who is currently being detained), asked Magistrate Judge Patricia Sullivan to release Orekan as has ties to a number of family members in Rhode Island and is not a flight risk. He asked the judge to possibly release Orekan with conditions such as electronic monitoring.

The judge denied Cicilline’s request saying electronic monitoring isn’t a full proof tool adding that the evidence against Orekan is strong and that the investigation shows it’s become even stronger.
“The defendant has significant ties to a different country…the affidavit mentions a substantial amount of passports that have passed muster at a number of banks…wiring of tens of thousands to the defendant’s mother in Nigeria,” Sullivan said.
“Finally, and very significant, the defendant had contact with law enforcement in November 2016, was released and continued the behavior and then charged in January 2017, released and again continued the behavior,” Sullivan added.
"Now facing federal charges knitting together what is now unlike instances in November and January, a very substantial charge exposing him to a period of incarceration and risk of deportation."

I'm not African. I'm Carribean descent. As for Trump? He's all talk. My life is the same as it was yesterday. Trump has however reduced and blocked Nigerian immigration. At an African event on the USA--Yoruba, Igbo and the other a thousand names you all have for identical looking negroes--were disallowed entry into the USA, despite visas:
https://www.google.ca/amp/punchng.com/trumps-travel-policy-nigerians-with-valid-visas-denied-entry-into-usa/amp/

Why? Because Trump sees you all as degenerate blacks, not tribes, just inferior blacks. Make yourselves a Russian and you won't even need a visa according to Trump. This example illustrates how stupid and counterproductive your Nigerian tribalism. The world doesn't even see the difference or care. Whites enslaved Wesr/Central Africans and studied you for 200 years, they know you are just 1 of millions of foolish Negros who can't build a wall let alone a missle.

I am from Grenada and Trinidad paternally. I know of your stupid tribal squabbles because, after deciding I want to vacation in West Africa, I lurked this forum for a long time. It is easy to understand your conflicts after only a shorty study time. You're not unique.

Whites did enslave us in plantations, sure, but we have been free of it hundreds of years now, the whites gone or dead by our own hands as Dessaline defeated Bonaparte Napoleon's army in Haiti. Tell me, Nigerian, how did you earn your freedom from colonialism?

Begging, that's how. We took ours and, despite our small we population, black Americans and Carribean have overshadowed Nigerians ever since. You have billionaires but children beg on your streets lepers. You call me slave, yet I have done more, accomplished more and stand higher than you, Nigerian.

My parents' ancestry is Carribean but I was born in the USA until we moved to Canada. Easy to understand.

Also I only wanted to visit West Africa for experience. I have already seen the Carribean
Your choice of Haiti, the Carribean least developed country, means nothing. You can right over to the Dr, which is also Carribean and find they live better than Nigerians. Or Trinidad, or Grenada or Jamaica even. You speak of poverty but Nigerians live on 1$ a day. That's poverty

Look, just feck-off, l am not in your league!

If your "Caribbean" was good as you claimed, your parents wont run-off to have a baby in America, or would at least have brought you back and you wont be hopping from one country to another!

Speaking of $1/day, your brain cannot phantom the idea that "how much you live on", depends on the price/cost of goods and services in that particular place!

If a 3bed house is rented for an average of #300,000/annum or 12months (#25,000/Month) in Nigeria...this is an equivalent of about $600 per year or $50 per Month), the same type of accommodation will rent for an average of $2,000 per month (#1,000,000 per month) or 12Million Naira per annum in America.
Now do the maths!
Money that would pay for same type of accommodation ...for 4years in Nigeria, being spent on accommodation for just ONE MONTH in Dollar Country...and you want to compare people in both countries, using same indices! grin grin


So you see, surviving on $1 a day does not make you Poor!
It just makes "cost of living" cheaper...and you could actually be living better and buy more things on that $1, than someone who lives $300 a day!


Self-hating, Confused Dunce!

Perhaps Trump may spare them when he considers how some of them sacrificed themselves, as willing victims of target practice by our military, while foolishly celebrating his election victory in the myopic hope he would give them Biafra.

P.s 36M igbos or 40M yorubas can't be classified as ''tribes'',they are ethnic nationalities.
