[size=18pt]Nigerian 419 Pastor Busted [/size]


A Nigerian pastor, Monday Tufe Kpanoko, has been arrested by personnel of the Vetting and Crime Analyses (VCA) Unit of the Ghana Police Service for fraud.

The 43-year-old self-styled apostle, who is a member of the Evangelistic Vine Ministry at Nungua, Accra, was arrested on July 20, 2010 for dubbing documents on the internet containing some exploration works of Newmont Gold Ghana Limited and using it to defraud a Canadian investor.

According to the Director of VCA, Superintendent Denis Ako-Dem Abade, Kpanoko posed as a Ghanaian businessman who had a gold concession at Nyafoman in the Eastern Region for sale.

Using the name Michael Frimpong, he managed to contact one Canadian investor via the internet to buy the concession at the cost of $10 million.

The man had also successfully obtained a Ghanaian passport with the name Felix Azuma and traveled severally outside the country with it.

The Director said his outfit had been monitoring the suspect after receiving complaints from the company that one Michael Frimpong was in possession of their exploration works and using the information to lure foreign investors into the country.

Kpanoko aka Frimpong is said to have convinced his victim that he had gold concession worth $10 million and was scouting for prospective clients.

Unfortunately for Kpanoko, his unsuspecting victim in Canada contacted a compatriot, who is a local employee of Newmont Gold Ghana, over his intention to buy the said concession of the company.

It was at this point that the victim, who had then sent some $500, upon Frimpong’s request to cater for some miscellaneous expenses, realized he was dealing with a fraudster.

He then liaised with his friend in Ghana to carry on with all further arrangements with the intention of getting the police to arrest Frimpong.

A meeting was arranged between the two at East Legon for further discussions on the investment, where the victim was also to pay a commitment fee of $200,000.00 (two hundred thousand dollars).

The police, who had then mounted surveillance in the area, popped up and arrested suspect Kpanoko.

During interrogation, Kpanoko admitted to the offence and indicated that he forged the documents to lure the investor into the country to invest.

The police boss said ongoing investigations had revealed that Kpanoko had contacted several other foreigners and duped them through similar means.

A search in his house revealed a Ghanaian passport and a visa electron card bearing the name Felix Azuma, as well as Western Union Money Transfer receipts indicating various sums of money he had collected from unsuspecting victims abroad.

He would soon be arraigned when the police complete their investigations.

When other pastor's are buying private jet, what do you expect common pastors to do? They have a target, and have just realised that the sky is their stepping stone when you become a pastor. Any which way to join the big boys. . Going to scam Ghanians, thats why they keep returning them by the plane loads. They should please leave them there. What kind of Nigerian name is kpanoko sef? . Are they sure this is the true, true name?

^^^ ROTFLMAO!! You have killed me o

I think kpanako is either Igbo or Edo name.

kpanako is either Igbo or Edo name.
Must you associate every crime with every tribe? How did you reach that conclusion that it's igbo or edo? You should have been good at recognising tribal names, instead you chose to graduate from Sarah Palin's School of Geography where the study of geography is treated as quantum physics and ranked above rocket science. Go do your research. Enough of speculation!!!

Hello!

Somebody asked about the Pastors name and I'm merely suggesting the group he belongs to to explain the name.

Anywaz. . . moving on

Nothing wrong in what she said. She said either Edo or Igbo. If she was ignorant in her statement, then you correct her and tell her which kind of tribe has such name. I think it is either edo or urhobo or an ND tribe if thats his real name. They like to put k before p. Yoruba will say Pele, they will spell it Kpele. So anyone that can validate that this is a Nigerian and not a Cameroonian please come to our aid. We are tired of this disgrace left and right.

there is everything wrong in what she did.

she is being sly and mischevious. she is no new to NL and knows how sensitive the issue of tribe is. she is well aware that insinuating that a criminal pastor belongs to a certain ethnic group can trigger a vicious debate which will eventually derail the thread, such trouble makers like her are simply annoying.

His tribe would make a difference if Ghanaians would not consider his nationality. In this regard, nationality takes precedence over his tribe. If he were caught in Naija, not likely though, he would be tried under Naija law. So the poster wanted to post a comment that would trigger a tribal e-war

Oh, thats her calling card; subliminal disses! She always tries to coat it in innocence when, in truth, she knows she's insulting u! Unlike some of us who come out swinging and diss our opponents directly, Ezeuche's stalker thinks she can diss u "on the low" and get away with it!!!

Of all the Nigerian ethnic groups, the Yorubas seem to show the most ignorance of other ethnic groups, even in simple tasks as name association. This characteristic is even more glaring for so-called minority ethnic groups, whereby every non-Yoruba non-Arabic name is likely to be Igbo.

For example, to the average Yoruba, the names "Isioma" and "Isimeme" are Igbo names; "Mabiaku" and "Maduka" must both be Igbo too.

This consistent show of ignorance among many Yorubas may likely be due to poor integration with other ethnic groups. Their inertia to travel to regions outside the southwest of Nigeria may be one reason for this.

It may also be an instance of the classic chicken and egg problem. Is the poor integration with non-Yorubas the cause of the ignorance of other cultures or a consequence of this pervasive lack of knowledge of all things non-Yoruba?

Any ideas?

Classic id.iot, the link does not state "Isimeme" as an Igbo name. Anuofia madu. Fake a.s.s trick!

Beside the obvious fact that you're a f.o.o.l, you're not even Nigerian, and your attempt to claim Nigerian because your mother is whoring herself away with some Yoruba dude in New York does not make you a Nigerian, mkay?

Typical Ibo monkey! So, one out of ur four "non-Ibo" names makes u credible? lol. Talk about the other three!lol. Lying Ibo!

Cohomology:

Classic id.iot,why did u try to expose my lies?  I posted a false link of fake Ibo names. . . . big deal. Anuofia madu. Fake a.s.s trick!

Besides the obvious fact that I and the rest of my family are  f.o.o.ls (and I'm not even Nigerian but Biafran) and besides the fact that most Biafrans got the brains of fleas,  my attempt to claim Nigerian because my mother is whoring herself away to about 9 Yoruba dudes in New York does not make you better than me, okay?

Damn, chill son! Dont go hard on urself like that!

By their fruit, we shall know them
