Politics › Nigerian In U.s. Gets 12 Year Jail Term For $1.3m Scam! by baslone(op): 3:28pm On Sep 06, 2010
A 31-year-old Nigerian, Okpako Mike Diamreyan, who immigrated to the United States on May 30, 2008, has been sentenced to more than 12 years in prison for planning an advance payment scam that swindled victims to the tune of $1.3m.

Deciding the case filed before United States District Court, District Of Connecticut on April 30, 2010, Mr. Diamreyan was ordered to serve 151 months in federal prison and pay $1m in restitution to the 67 victims he was said to have scammed between 2004 and 2009.

According to the charges files against the Nigerian and obtained by NEXT, “the defendant began committing advance-fee fraud in Nigeria and Ghana no later than 2004. In 2008, he came to the United States, where he married a young woman who supported him by working two jobs and going to school at night. Instead of taking advantage of this opportunity to start a new life, the defendant continued participating in the fraud scheme and, in fact, used his presence in the United States to further the fraud.

“The defendant made no effort to become a productive member of society; instead, he hoped to reap a fortune in crime,” the document read.

How scam worked

According to state prosecutors, Mr. Diamreyan and his accomplice duped their victims, saying one of the victims was called more than 1,200 times over a two-year period.

He was also said to have claimed to have various consignments stored in Ghana worth millions and promised his victims 20-percent commission in exchange for financial help in transferring funds to the US.

“In one such email, the defendant claimed to be in a refugee camp in Ghana, trying to move a consignment worth $23.4 million out of the country”.

Mr. Diamreyan was arrested on August 27, 2009 and convicted by a jury of three counts of wire fraud on February 16, 2010.

In a sentencing memorandum, the court said that “the only way to protect the public from further crimes by the defendant is to incarcerate him for a lengthy period of time.”

Politics › Farida Tells U.s Jonathan Is Interfering With Anti-corruption Effort by baslone(op): 10:58pm On Sep 01, 2010
Farida Waziri's recent trip to the US has enabled her to make a case for her lack luster anti-corruption drive, and to pass the buck. And the person upon whom she is heaping the blame for her failures is her current boss: Nigeria's president, Goodluck Jonathan.

Farida told some United States officials during her recent trip that Jonathan and some of his aides have completely crippled her operation by interfering directly in her anti-corruption work.

Mrs. Waziri also told FBI trainers who visited the EFCC in Abuja that her terrible standing internationally is simply because her bosses never allow her to do her job. She gave examples of interference in the arrest and prosecution of economic criminals by the fallen former Attorney General of the Federation, Michael Aondoakaaa.

She lamented that since Jonathan’s coming to power, his powerful aides (who are believed to be his Chief of Staff, Mike Oghiadomhe and the current Attorney General, Mohammed Bello Adoke) have become stumbling blocks.

Although Mrs. Waziri's personal corruption and incompetence serve as major impediments to any meaningful anti-corruption work, EFCC officials have told Saharareporters that since assuming office, Jonathan has gone out of his way to muzzle the EFCC even more. Last week, the AGF Adoke openly chastised the Commission over its mode of operation, asking the agency to jettison its use of strong-arm tactics to fight corruption.

Mr. Adoke’s statement was not specific to any particular case but sources told Saharareporters that one of his points of interference is Taraba State where the EFCC had planned to act on a series of powerful petitions against the governor, who had embezzled large sums of the monies belonging to the state. But Mr. Adoke's wife was quickly appointed as the Attorney General in the state, in order to forestall any further investigation of the case.

Also last week, Mr. Adoke reportedly donated N250 million to the Jonathan campaign to forestall his removal after he said that former military dictator Ibrahim Babangida would not be investigated for stealing $12.4 billion Gulf oil windfall. That statement was said to have rankled the presidency.

Mrs. Waziri’s complaint to the United States complicates Jonathan’s anti-corruption spinelessness. During his visit to the country a few months ago, he swore to the Obama administration and foreign policy specialists that he would move quickly on corruption. That was interpreted partly to mean he would relieve Mrs. Waziri, who is in the bad books of several international anti-corruption agencies, of her job.
