 Crime › ‘$48m Fraud’: EFCC Detains Jonathan’s Campaign Chief by kantin(op): 5:06am On Dec 22, 2017 |
How was $48,485,127 diverted from the accounts of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF)? This is the knot Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is battling to untie. Dr. Ngozi Olojeme, former NSITF chair, was quizzed for hours yesterday over the alleged diversion of the fund. Olojeme, who was declared wanted a few weeks ago by the EFCC on the order of a court, turned herself in. The EFCC has arraigned a former Managing Director of NSITF, Umar Munir Abubakar and four others for alleged diversion of N18billion. The cash was said to be the Federal Government’s contribution to take-off grants and Employees Compensation Scheme (ECS) for Ministries Departments and Agencies (MDAs). The others are Henry Ekhasomi Sambo, Adebayo Adebowale Aderibigbe, Chief Richard U. Uche and Aderemi Adegboyega. According to a source, the ex-NSITF chairman reported to EFCC after going underground for a while. The source said: “We have been investigating over N62.3billion fraud in NSITF during Olojeme’s tenure between 2009 and 2015. Out of the sum, preliminary findings indicated that the ex-NSITF boss allegedly diverted $48, 485, 127. “She allegedly used her account officer in First Bank of Nigeria (FBN) to collect the $48.4m from some NSITF contractors through a BDC operator.” The Nation obtained the report on the probe. It states: “That through this process, Dr. Ngozi Olojeme, the then NSITF board chairman, has collected $48,485,127 from her account officer at FBN, which cash he collected on her behalf being the dollar equivalent of monies paid to BDCs by NSITF contractors. “She and others also diverted huge cash allocated for allowances of its staff and compensation to contributors. Detectives actually traced some of the NSITF funds in the personal accounts of Olojeme and the former MD, Umar Abubakar. “For instance, Abubakar and others converted N18billion, being contribution from the Federal Government as take-off grants and Employees Compensation Scheme (ECS) for MDAs. “The said sum was diverted into personal accounts by an e-payment mandate jointly signed by Umar Munir Abubakar and Henry Ekhasomi Sambo.” The report added: “It was discovered that the NSITF accounts in First Bank and other banks have witnessed a total turnover of over N62,358,401,927 between 2012 and 2015 from the Employee Compensation Scheme contributions. “That out of the N62b, the Federal Government contributed N13,600,000,000 while N48,758,401,927.80 was contributed by the private sector. That there were several payments to individuals and companies from the NSITF bank accounts for purported contracts or consultancy services. “That some individuals and companies that received these payments, in turn, transferred part of the monies directly to the NSITF officials while others transferred huge sums to bureaux de change operators who changed them to dollars.” The source said: “Olojeme has made useful statement to our team of investigators. We are probing clues that some of the looted cash had been diverted to the prosecution of the 2015 general election because Olojeme was the Deputy Chairman, Finance Committee, of the Goodluck Jonathan Presidential Campaign Organisation. “From preliminary findings, she is likely to face trial like other top officers of NSITF.” http://thenationonlineng.net/48m-fraud-efcc-detains-jonathans-campaign-chief |

| Crime › Libya Deportees Vow To Hunt For ‘charles’, Others by kantin(op): 8:04pm On Nov 29, 2017 |
Some Nigerians who were recently deported from Libya have said they would hunt for one Charles and others who collected money from them for the ill-fated journey to Europe. Those who spoke in Benin City were among the 168 Libya deportees that were on Tuesday received by the Edo State Government. Governor Godwin Obaseki had promised to train deportees from Libya with adequate skills required to reintegrate them back to the society. Many of the deportees looked skinny and exhausted while some woman had babies. Some of the deportees said it was one Charles that collected money from them to take them to Europe but abandoned them in Libya. They claimed that the said Charles had several bank accounts with different names through which he collect money from victims as well as operate a camp base in Libya where Nigerians are kept for days without food. A deportee who gave his name Alex Otoide said he witnessed the sale of 20 Nigeria girls in the prison where he was kept. “They sold like 20 girls in the night. It was God that save me. More than seven people died from hunger and thirst inside the prison. “Can’t you see how I look lean and hungry. I need to go for treatment. I left Nigeria with N500,000 but I spent six months in Libya jail after the man that took my money ran away. “We were 55 that left for Libya, 25 people died in the desert.” Osas Blessing said Charles was one of those they call ‘burgers’ or ‘connection man’ in the Libya route. “I gave Charles N450,000 but when I got to Libya he increased it to N600,000. He is very wicked. He does not care for human live. He is a Benin man. He will say if you die you die. He pushed us into the sea at the wrong time. I heard he just left Nigeria with new passengers to Libya. He has frustrated many Nigerians.” Another deportee who refused to give his name said another Nigerian only known as ‘Biafra’ was responsible for the many atrocities committed against migrants in Libya. 2 Likes

| Romance › Half Of Nigerian Girls Under 18 Years Are Not Virgins- Survey by kantin(op): 9:40pm On Oct 26, 2017 |
The Lagos State Government has revealed that 24.2 percent of women in the state have their first sexual intercourse before the age of 18 years. This is according to Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris who spoke on “Reproductive Health: Beyond Cultural Limitations and Concerns. He said the National Demographic and Health Survey and the Multi-Indicator Cluster Survey reported that 24.2 percent of women in Lagos had their first sexual intercourse before attaining the age of 18 years. “Nationally, the figures are about 51 percent. This implies that in Lagos, one out of every four women would have been exposed to sex before 18 and the national average for Nigeria is one of two women. The difference in these figures might be attributed to several factors, such as female education, urbanization, childhood marriages and so more. “With an average age at first birth at 20 years, about 22.5 percent of pregnancies are by teenagers in Nigeria. More worrying, however, is that reports show that as at this year, about 40 percent of women in the Southwest have experienced physical violence since age 15 and sexual violence cannot be excluded from these statistics,” he stated. “In other words, in a nation where more than 60 percent of its population are young people and significant numbers of these young people are exposed to sexual intercourse at an early age either voluntarily or violently, a lot of potential problems emerge. Such problems are associated with sexually transmitted infections, childhood pregnancy, trauma and its accompanying physical and mental health implications. “This means that there must be access to knowledge about sexual health and systems that modify behaviours, as well as, access to services that prevent and manage them, Idris added. 1 Like

| Politics › Fayose Gives Cars To Aides Over EFCC Detention by kantin(op): 7:55am On Oct 16, 2017 |
Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose has fulfilled his promise to give new cars to the two officials of his administration who spent two weeks in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged diversion of over N680 million from the state’s share of bailout funds. The governor yesterday presented the Commissioner for Finance, Chief Toyin Ojo, and the Accountant General, Mrs. Yemisi Owolabi, with new Kia Rio cars after a thanksgiving service to mark the third anniversary of his administration. Fayose said he was honouring the two officials “for their loyalty to the state” in the face of a fresh onslaught by the anti-graft agency. The two government officials were arrested in Abuja on September 28 while attending the governor’s declaration to run for President in 2019. The governor also held a welcome party for Ojo and Owolabi last Thursday, which he declared as “half-work day,’ to allow civil servants attend the occasion. But majority of workers shunned the event. At yesterday’s event, Fayose said: “We have to reward you for enduring intimidation, mental and emotional torture and illegal incarceration for the sake of our state. The Constitution of Nigeria does not empower the EFCC to arrest state officials over alleged graft. “That function belongs to our House of Assembly. We will sue the EFCC to court for this illegality, pursue the case to a logical conclusion and get damages for this ill-treatment. “The Constitution of Nigeria is supreme and has over-riding influence over any government parastatal, such as EFCC.” http://thenationonlineng.net/fayose-gives-cars-aides-efcc-detention/ |
| Crime › Rivers Lawmaker Is A Member Of My Gang, Alleges ‘robber’ by kantin(op): 1:24pm On Oct 11, 2017 |
A suspected notorious kidnapper, robber and murderer, Justice Oti, aka High Tension, has alleged that a Rivers lawmaker is a member of his gang. Oti, an indigene of Odisama in Ahoada East Local Government, who was born on March 7, 1993, admitted being a member of Icelander cult, saying he killed 15 members of a rival Greenlander cult. He said yesterday in Port Harcourt that he killed because members of Greenlander killed over 15 Icelander members. Oti, who embraced the amnesty offer of the Governor Nyesom Wike administration, said he did not completely surrender his arms and ammunition, adding that Greenlander members never submitted their guns, but only deceived members of the amnesty committee by surrendering sticks. The suspected kidnapper, who was arrested in Bauchi State, said he killed people during reprisals. He was, however, silent on the roles played by the Rivers lawmaker in his gang. Oti said when his deputy, Lucky aka Iron, was killed by the rival cult and his head was cut and taken away, with the Greenlander members threatening to also kill him, he escaped to Bauchi State after hiding his AK-47 rifle and ammunition in his village. The police command has written to the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Ikuinyi-Owaji Ibani, to release the Rivers lawmaker for interview by the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (F-SARS), headed by Mr. Akin Fakorede. The letter, obtained through a source close to Police Commissioner Zaki Ahmed, was dated October 9, with the command indicating that it was investigating cases of kidnapping and murder in Ahoada East Local Government involving Oti and members of his gang. It also indicated that inviting the Rivers lawmaker was to facilitate the command’s investigation, with the Speaker asked to release the lawmaker for interview with the commander of F-SARS on October 12 at noon. The legislator was contacted for his reaction through his mobile line, from 6:44 pm., but he did not pick his calls. An SMS sent to him was not responded to last night. Ahmed said his command had zero tolerance for crimes. Also paraded yesterday was Blessed Francis, a 20-year-old 200 level Geology student of University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), who was arrested in Port Harcourt for alleged burglary and robbery, barely three months after another UNIPORT undergraduate, Ifeanyi Dike, was arrested for alleged ritual killing. He is still standing trial. A gang of an alleged three gun-running youths, comprising two ND-2 students of Rivers State Polytechnic, Port Harcourt, Frank Nwaaknma, 22, from Ibaa, Emohua Local Government and Ujie Francis, from Obudu in Cross River State, was also arrested. The third member of the gang, Chigozie Junior Koro, 32, from Ogbakiri in Emohua Council said he and Nwaaknma only wanted to assist Francis (Ujie) to sell for N100,000, a pistol he claimed to have picked during a communal clash in his village, with a promise to give them N10,000, before they were nabbed by the police. A 27-year-old suspect, Daniel Okpougo, an indigene of Edoha in Ahoada East Local Government, who was arrested with ammunition, alleged that High Tension (Oti) killed his uncle and he travelled to Patani in Delta State to buy bullets to avenge his death, before he was arrested on East West Road. Others held for crimes include Loveday Opi, an indigene of Egbema in Ogba/Egbeme/Ndoni Council and Sunday Didia, who hails from Egbeda in Emohua Local Government, both in Rivers State, as well as Kingsley Ofomata from Imo State, John Elvis, an indigene of Auchi in Edo State and Chimankpa Ukomwa from Orlu in Imo State. http://thenationonlineng.net/rivers-lawmaker-member-gang-alleges-robber/ |
| Politics › 2019 Election: Igbos Are Using Biafrian Agitation To Blackmail North - Junaid Mo by kantin(op): 6:20pm On Oct 10, 2017 |
Junaid Mohammed, a staunch critic of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration, has alleged that the Igbos are using the agitation for Biafra to blackmail the north into giving up the 2019 presidency to them, The Sun reports. He insisted that the move will only prevent the southeast from producing a president because, “democracy is a game of numbers.” The second republic lawmaker wondered why the same people who caused the civil war that claimed the lives of over one million people will now turn around to demand for presidency. He said: “The Igbo are clamouring for an additional state, one of the reasons they are now talking about Biafra, even though the real reason is that they want to blackmail the North, to concede presidency to them. “By this means, they will never get any hope for presidency because democracy is a game of numbers. You cannot tell people to vote for you because you are being irresponsible. You caused the civil war that claimed over one million people, you will now come back and demand as a right that you must have a president. Is it democracy they are talking about or secession?” Earlier, NAIJ.com reported that the Igbo Presidency Organisation of Nigeria, a political pressure group held a town hall meeting in Aba, Abia state. The group made an appeal to the north and southwest geo-political zones of the country to join hands with the southeast zone to produce a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction in 2019. The group which said it believes in one Nigeria, lamented that in the 57 years of Nigeria’s independence, the leadership of the country has been lopsided against the Igbo people. Does the Biafra struggle end if IPOB is dissolved? https://www.naij.com/1129657-2019-election-igbos-using-biafrian-agitation-blackmail-north-junaid-mohammed.html |
| Business › The Secret Of My Successful Businesses - Dangote by kantin(op): 5:02pm On Oct 10, 2017 |
Africa’s richest man and most successful industrialist, Aliko Dangote, on Monday revealed the secret of his business success: self-sufficiency and backward integration, a manufacturing strategy that extracts value from entire processes. “We are not going to import anything any longer,” Dangote said, in the presence of Nigerian vice-president Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Congolese presidential hopeful Moise Katumbi, and about 300 business leaders. He made the disclosure At the Financial Times’ 4th annual Africa Summit at Claridges in London. “In Nigeria we are learning how to produce the entire value chain,” Dangote added. Once a heavy importer of fertiliser, Nigeria is now gearing up to produce 3M tonnes of locally manufactured fertiliser, transforming the nation into one of the largest fertiliser exporters in Africa. In 2007 Nigeria was the second largest importer of cement after the US, Dangote reminded the audience of business elites. “Today, we have not only satisfied domestic needs; we have become a leading exporter of 6-7M tonnes of cement,” he added. Diversifying into agriculture, Dangote has eyes on the dairy industry motivated by the fact that “98% of all milk consumed in Nigeria is imported.” Same for rice. Dangote Group has invested heavily in rice production by investing in local farmers and then offering to buy back the 1M tonnes at open market prices that they are growing. “Soon we will be able to feed not only Nigeria but the entire 320M large West African market,” he said. Dangote’s business accumen was on rare exhibition as FT editor Lionel Barber himself seemed impressed with the business mogul’s quick familiarity with the nuts and bolts of his businesses. “Are we going to continue to import everything?” Dangote asked. “Freight rates are now cheap but they will go up soon. A population of over 200M cannot continue to import basic needs on a daily basis,” he answered himself. By 2100 Dangote stated Africa will represent 49% of the world’s population, up from 30% today. “If you don’t think big we won’t grow at all,” he said. “In Africa you have to play long-term.” Aside from Nigeria, which African nations do you think are good growth opportunities? Barber asked Dangote. “Aside from Nigeria?” the business leader repeated and smiled. “I’d have to pick Nigeria. I am a big fan of Nigeria. We are only using 8 per cent of our land.” https://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/the-secret-of-my-successful-businesses-dangote.245161/ |
| Foreign Affairs › Zimbabwe Lawmaker Donates Used Brassieres, Pants To Constituency by kantin(op): 2:41pm On Oct 10, 2017 |
Zaka Central Zanu PF MP Paradzai Chakona has donated a bale of used underwear to his constituency. Chakona has declined to state where he sourced the donation, saying it was his "secret." A ward chairperson who declined to named said the constituents were flabbergasted by the donation, which comprised mainly second-hand underwear including brassieres, underpants and socks. This is coming just as three new cabinet ministers have been sworn in by President Robert Mugabe at State House in Harare on Tuesday. The ministers are Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Happyton Bonyongwe, Youth Development Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Minister Chiratidzo Mabuwa and Tourism, Environment and Hospitality Industry Minister Edgar Mbwembwe. Three Ministers of State also took the oath of office in front of President Mugabe today. These are Dr Paul Chimedza (Masvingo) Webster Shamu (Mashonaland West), and Thokozile Mathuthu (Matabeleland North). https://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/zimbabwe-lawmaker-donates-used-brassieres-pants-to-constituency.245173/ |
| Crime › Navy Uncovers Hotel Where Fuel Is Siphoned In Lagos by kantin(op): 4:54am On Oct 05, 2017 |
Operatives of the Nigerian Navy (NN) attached to the Operation Awatse yesterday busted a Lagos hotel where Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) is siphoned from the pipeline of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). The operatives also arrested eight suspects including a Police Inspector at the premises of Glonik Hotel at 31, Social Club Road, Abule Egba. Those arrested were Inspector Lukeman Rabiu of the Lagos Police Command X-Squad Unit, receptionist Gladys Daniel, waitress Rachael Oludara, housekeeper, Adegoke Adetunji, tanker driver, Waliu Teller, Oluwaseun Oguntoyin, Victor Vincent, 19 and Bobola Kuti, 28. Inspector Rabiu allegedly had N1.4 million, a laptop and other valuables in his car. Sources said some police officers were already lobbying for Inspector Rabiu’s release. It was gathered that three 33,000-litre tankers were loaded overnight with two left. The third one, with registeration number EPE367XE was said to have developed technical problems and was abandoned at an improvised loading bay beside the hotel. When our Correspondent visited the area with some naval officers, two other empty tankers were seen on the street. There were broken bottles, chattered windscreens, hoses and fuel-laden jerry cans inside the hotel. Also clips used to hold hoses on pumping machines were seen in Room 209, said to have been occupied by another fleeing policeman. It was gathered that the hotel belonged to one Bashorun, who comes to meet with the manager, Osipo Chris and some of the vandals. According to AWATSE’s Maritime Component Commanding Officer, Commander Chris Akokota, the place was uncovered about 8am. He said: “At 8am this morning (Wednesday), we got some information from Toplink Security personnel that some criminals perpetrating illegal acts of siphoning PMS products through an NNPC pipeline outside the hotel. “Upon the information, we quickly deployed our men and when we got here, we realised that most of the top management staff had escaped through the back gate. “The junior staff and a policeman, who had stayed here in the past six months, were arrested. We tried to investigate the situation and observed all. When we got here, we noticed the smashed screens and broken bottles. Apparently, there might have been a fight before our arrival. “We discovered that a fully loaded tanker, which still had the hose on it was parked beside the hotel. It seems the tanker developed fault. We learnt that two others had left and they were waiting for the third one to go so that others can be loaded. “We also saw about 16 jerry cans filled with PMS with six empty ones and they were all embedded in the vehicles parked in the hotel.” However, Inspector Rabiu denied being a member of the gang, insisting that he only lodged at the hotel to meet up with his bi-weekly unit meetings. He could however not explain why he chose that hotel, which was obviously off his route and several kilometres away from his office. Inspector Rabiu also said he never noticed anything strange in the hotel and was not aware fuel theft was going on there. He said: “I do not know anything about it. It is not like I stay here permanently. I stay in Ogun State but in order to meet up with our meetings, I lodge here on the days we have meeting and I pay directly to the manager. I never noticed anything strange. I did not survey the environment. I have known this place for about five years and I just come here.” http://thenationonlineng.net/navy-uncovers-hotel-fuel-siphoned-lagos/ |

| Crime › Diezani To Lose 56 Houses In Lagos, Port Harcourt by kantin(op): 7:06am On Aug 23, 2017 |
A Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the interim forfeiture of 56 houses allegedly bought between 2011 and 2013 for $21,982,224 million (N3,320,000,000 billion) by a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke. Justice Abdulaziz Anka, a vacation judge, made the order yesterday following an ex parte application filed on August 16 by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Justice Anka authorised the EFCC to appoint a firm to manage the property and gave the respondents 14 days to show cause why the property should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government. The judge directed the agency to publish the order in any national newspaper and adjourned till September 8. The application, brought pursuant to section 17 of the Advanced Fee Fraud and other Fraud related offences Act 2006 and Section 44(2)(k) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) sought a temporary transfer of the property to the Federal Government. Listed as first to sixth respondents in the suit are Diezani, Donald Chidi Amamgbo and four firms— Chapel Properties Limited, Blue Nile Estate Limited, Azinga Meadows Limited and Vistapoint Property Development Limited. EFCC counsel Mr. Anselem Ozioko told Justice Anka that Mrs Alison-Madueke paid $16,441,906 (N2.6billion) cash in several tranches and another $5,540318 (N840,000,000) cash for the properties through four “front” firms which held the titles in trust for her. The firms are Chapel Properties, Blue Nile Estate, Azinga Meadows and Vistapoint Property Development. Ozioko said the commission had discovered 14 other firms incorporated for the ex-minister for holding the titles to those property. Mrs. Alison-Madueke, he added, bought the properties from the proceeds of suspected unlawful activity during her tenure as minister. The properties include 29 terraced houses comprising eight four-bedroom penthouse apartments, six three-bedroom apartments, two three-bedroom maisonettes, two twin bedroom apartments and one four-bedroom apartment. The houses, located at No. 7, Thurnbull Street and 5, Raymond Street, Yaba, were allegedly bought by Mrs. Alison-Madueke for the US dollar equivalent of N937,000,000 through Chapel Properties Ltd. Others are 16 four-bedroom terrace houses in Heritage Court Estate, Plot 2C, Omerelu Street, Diobu, Government Residential Area (GRA) Phase 1 extension, Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, bought for N928,000,000 through Blue Nile Estate Ltd. The former minister allegedly bought 13 three-bedroom terrace houses with one-room maid’s quarters ensuite for N650,000,000 through Azinga Meadows Ltd. The commission also stated that Mrs. Alison-Madueke paid N805,000,000 through Vistapoint Property Development Ltd for six flats of three bedrooms and one boys’ quarters each, a lawn tennis court, a gym and “matured garden”. According to an affidavit in support of the application by an EFCC investigative officer, Mr Sombori Mayana, the commission got wind of the properties in 2016 following its execution of a search warrant on the office and premises of the former minister’s acquaintance, Mr Donald Chidi Amamgbo. Mayana said: “…among the documents recovered from the office of Mr Donald Chidi Amamgbo was an undated report titled ‘HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT – AUGUST REPORT’ “The report contained a list of 18 companies and several properties located in the United Kingdom, Nigeria and the United States of America. “During the course of his interview, Mr Donald Amamgbo told us that he registered the 18 companies to assist Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke in holding titles of the properties.” On August 7, Justice Chuka Obiozor of the Federal High Court in Lagos ordered the permanent forfeiture to the Federal Government of a $37.5million Banana Island property bought in 2013 by the former Petroleum Minister. The property designated as Building 3, Block B, Bella Vista Plot 1, Zone N, Federal Government Layout, Banana Island Foreshore Estate |

| Crime › Metro Police Arrests Suspected Serial Killer, Zidane, In Imo by kantin(op): 2:04pm On Aug 09, 2017 |
The Imo State Police Command has arrested a 24-year-old wanted armed robber in the state, Somadina Uzoho, popularly known as Zidane. According to Punch, Zidane, a dropout from the Department of Electrical Electronics from Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, had escaped to Ghana in 2012 after allegedly engaging in deadly criminal operations. Police in Imo State told the newspaper that “He was arrested in Egbu in the Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo State on July 28 following intelligence information. “We equally picked his accomplices from various locations. The gang was a group of cultists belonging to the Vikings Confraternity from the Imo State University, Federal Polytechnic, Nekede and some street touts. “They were responsible for the killing of a police inspector , one Inspector Offor, sometime ago. “Zidane was involved in an armed robbery at Royce in the state capital. He and another suspect escaped while two others that were caught were set ablaze by the people.” Zidane, who claimed that he was a footballer, was said to have shot a member of the Aye Confraternity following a disagreement between his cult and the rival cult members. “The town is calm now following their arrest. People are happy with the development. They rob students of their phones on a daily basis; they carry out their lawless operations at funerals. “He ( Zidane) doesn’t waste time in shooting because of his diminutive stature. If you underrate him, he fires immediately ,” the source stated. According to the police, Stanley Ofia, Ike, Uchenna and Ayiam were picked in connection with the crime at different places while others were being trailed. Zidane, however, explained that he had escaped to Ghana in 2012 when the heat became too much on him.

He said he never committed murder, but admitted that he shot one rival cult member when there was an inter-cult clash between the warring groups. The state Commissioner of Police, Chris Ezike, added, “We are mopping up; we are cleaning the town. We are making huge breakthroughs. The whistle-blowing policy of the command is working perfectly well.” https://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/police-arrests-suspected-serial-killer-zidane-in-imo.242569/ |

| Crime › The Story Of Emmanuel Nwude Who Carried Out The Biggest Scam In Nigeria by kantin(op): 8:17pm On Jul 16, 2017 |
In this retro series, Naij.com bring to you the story of Emmanuel Nwude who committed the largest fraud in the country by selling a non-existent airport to a Brazilian for $242 million between 1995 and 1998. The rise of internet fraud commonly known as 419 is one phenomenon Nigeria has come to be associated it. Before internet fraud became a global issue, Nwude had committed one of the biggest scams in the world. Specifically, his fraud was the third largest banking scam in the world after the Nick Leeson's trading losses at Barings Bank, and the looting of the Iraqi Central Bank by Qusay Hussein. How was Nwude able to carry out this jaw-dropping scam and convince Nelson Sakaguchi who was the director of the bank to part with so much money for the purchase of an airport? Nwude was a former director of Union Bank of Nigeria and this position made him privy to some links, information and documents that other persons would not be aware of. He impersonated the then governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Paul Ogwuma, and connected with Sakaguchi informing him of a mouth-watering deal of Nigeria’s plan to build an airport in Abuja. Emmanuel Nwude carried out one of the the biggest banking fraud in the world Nwude, pretending to be the Central Bank of Nigeria governor, told Sakaguchi that he stood of chance of pocketing $10 million commission when the deal passed through. Sakaguchi paid $191 million in cash and the remainder in the form of outstanding interest. Nwude’s accomplices were Emmanuel Ofolue, Nzeribe Okoli, and Obum Osakwe, along with the husband and wife duo, Christian Ikechukwu Anajemba and Amaka Anajemba, with Christian later being assassinated. The criminal gang was able to convince the director of the Brazilian bank to part with the money. How did Sakaguchi find out he was a victim of one of the largest scam in the world? In 1997, the Spanish Banco Santander wanted to take over the Banco Noroeste and a joint board meeting was held in December of that year. Officials of the Spanish bank noted that half of the Brazilian bank’s capital was at Cayman Islands unmonitored. 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 the United States. Although the sale of the Bank still went on as the owners of the bank paid $242 million bill, the nak still collapsed in 2001. The birth of the EFCC In 2002, the then president, Olusegun Obasanjo saw to the establishment of an anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Nwude’s fraud case one of the first to be investigated and in 2004, all members of the gang were arraigned before an Abuja High Court on 86 counts of "fraudulently seeking advance fees" and 15 counts of bribery related to the case . Although they pleaded not guilty, they were warned not to attempt to bribe court officials as it was suspected that money was going round. Nwude has become Nigeria's fraud kingpin after pulling off one of the biggest 'deals' in history In 2005, Amaka confessed to helping Anajemba and was asked to repay $25.5 million and also sentenced to two and a half years in prison. Nwude attempted to bribe Nuhu Ribadu, the then chairman of the EFCC, with $75,000 cash but the latter refused and Nwude was charged with attempted bribery as well as attempt to kidnap a prosecuting witness. Following Sakaguchi's witness, Nwude finally pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five concurrent sentences of five years and was also asked to pay $10 million fine to the federal governmen. He was released from prison in 2006 and filed a case to reclaim his assets insisting some of them were acquired before the criminal act. He has so far been able to reclaim $167 million. Aftermath A land dispute in the town of Ukpo in the Dunukofia area with Abagana community turned bloody when over 200 men invaded the community killing four policemen and the security guard at the construction site in 2016. The Anambra state government fingered Nwude as the ringleader and he was subsequently arrested and arraigned on 27 charges including murder and terrorism. He is being held at Awka prison as the court case is still on. While Nwude’s criminal exploit was not the first in the country, it signified the rise in international financial crime and popularise the advanced fee fraud syndrome with Nigeria's name associated with it. |
