The story ofEmmanuel Nwude who committed the largest fraud inthe countryby selling a non-existent airport to a Brazilian for$242 million between 1995 and 1998. The rise of internetfraud commonly known as 419 is one phenomenon Nigeria has come to be associated it. Before internetfraud became a global issue, Nwude had committed oneof the biggestscams in the world.Specifically, his fraud was thethird largest banking scamin the world after the Nick Leeson’s trading losses at BaringsBank, and thelooting of the Iraqi Central Bank by Qusay Hussein. How was Nwude able to carry out thisjaw-dropping scam and convince Nelson Sakaguchi whowas thedirectorof the bank topart with so much money for the purchase of an airport?Nwude was a former directorof Union Bank ofNigeria and this position madehim privy tosome links, information and documents that other persons wouldnot be aware of. He impersonated the then governor of the Central Bank ofNigeria,Paul Ogwuma, and connected with Sakaguchi informing him of a mouth-watering deal of Nigeria’s plan to buildan airport in Abuja.Nwude,pretending to be the Central Bank ofNigeria governor, told Sakaguchi thathe stood of chanceof pocketing $10 million commission when the deal passedthrough. Sakaguchi paid$191 million in cash and theremainder in the form of outstanding interest. Nwude’s accomplices were Emmanuel Ofolue, NzeribeOkoli, and Obum Osakwe, along with the husband and wife duo, Christian Ikechukwu Anajemba and Amaka Anajemba, withChristian later being assassinated.The criminal gang was able to convince the directorof the Brazilian bank to part with the money.How did Sakaguchi findout he was a victim of one of the largest scam in the world?In 1997, the Spanish Banco Santander wantedto take over the Banco Noroeste and a joint board meeting was held in December of that year. Officials of theSpanish bank noted that half of the Brazilian bank’s capital was at Cayman Islandsunmonitored. This raised questions as this was two-fifths of Noroeste’s total value.Investigation began and was carried out in Brazil, Britain, Nigeria,Switzerland, and theUnited States. Although the sale of the Bank still went on as the ownersof the bank paid$242 million bill, the nak stillcollapsed in 2001.
