*Judge Richard Hone QC had little sympathy for Nwaofor, who broke down in tears at Central Criminal Court as he was jailed for seven years

A conman funded a playboy lifestyle by cheating pensioners out of their life savings.

Godwin Nwaofor, 36, kept a 'suckers list' of potential victims to send bogus letters saying they had won the Australian Lottery.

The Nigerian national received around £1million from the scam and blew the money on luxury cars, gold jewellery and expensive champagne at top nightclubs in London.

Nwaofor was a ‘willing and enthusiastic lieutenant’ to the mastermind of the con, another Nigerian, Frank Onyechonam, who was nicknamed ‘Fizzy’ for his love of vintage champagne.

Onyeachonam was jailed eight years last year, after he was exposed as the chief player in the scam.

He drove a Maserati and fired bubbly corks across exclusive private members clubs as he lived a life of fantastic luxury on his victim’s life savings.

The scam started with a bogus letter to a vulnerable pensioner telling them they had won the Australian Lottery.

The letters were sent by a ‘lottery agent’ targeting mainly American pensioners informing them they had won a life-changing prize and requesting a modest sum to release the funds.

Believing they had won, victims were hooked into paying fees to release their ‘winnings’ through an agent who would demand ‘activation fees’ to release their cash.

In some cases, dupes set up businesses in an attempt to receive their winnings and became unwitting money mules laundering cash from other victims.

Nwaofor, a father of two, regularly switched addresses to avoid being caught.

One victim, a 76-year-old woman, who believed she had won $1.85m, tried to track down Nwaofor after the FBI told her she had fallen victim to a scam.

She flew to the UK and went to the address she had for Nwaofor, but found that he had already moved on to another address.

Judge Richard Hone QC said the evidence in the case, at Central Criminal Court, against Nwaofor was ‘overwhelming’ and showed him to be a proven liar.

‘You have a tendency to be dishonest in your dealings with landlords, agencies, the police, HMRC, and car hire firms’, he said.

‘You also moved addresses regularly to ensure your whereabouts remained a mystery.’

Police identified 406 victims from two notebooks found at Onyeachonam’s Canary Wharf penthouse when he was arrested.

They seized Louis Vuitton shoes, Gucci handbags, a collection of expensive watches and dozens of designer shoes, as well as 5,000 pictures of Onyeachonam flaunting his wealth at exclusive upmarket venues including the Guvnor Bar in Docklands, east London.

One picture shows him showering a friend with champagne, in others he poses with scantily clad blondes or waves wads of £50 notes.

There was also evidence of extensive communication with Lagos resident Ese Orogun, nicknamed the ‘chairman’, who is thought to be the global mastermind of the fraud.

He lives in a private gated community, is a ‘celebrity’ in the Nigerian capital and drives multiple supercars, including a Maserati and a Porsche.

Detectives fear the scale of the fraud could even mushroom to £30million if all the details discovered in notebooks and emails can be traced to victims.

Nwaofor moved to the UK in January 2006 from Nigeria and soon married a German citizen.

He has two children with her, aged six and six-months-old.

He broke down in tears as he was jailed for seven years this morning, but the judge said he did not believe the remorse was genuine.

‘Just as a crocodile sheds its tears while devouring its prey, so the copious weeping in court is not hypocritical remorse but tears of frustration that in spite of your careful concealment, you have been well and truly rumbled’, the judge told him.

‘This Australian lottery scam has brought penury and debt to your victims who were ruthlessly milked of their hard earned savings.’

The judge said although ten victims were traced by prosecutors as having fallen for Nwaofor’s scam, but that was probably the ‘tip of the iceberg’.

‘Vast sums of cash you used to fund a luxury lifestyle, with top of the range hire cars, large watches, gold jewellery, expensive nightclubs’, said the judge.

‘It shows you made the best part of £1m yourself.’

Nwaofor, of Camberell Green, south London, was found guilty of conspiracy to defraud, converting criminal property, and acquisition of criminal property.

He will serve half his sentence in prison and the remaining part on licence and will also now face confiscation proceeds.

Onyeachonam, of Canning Town, east London, was found guilty of conspiracy to defraud between January 2005 and December 2012.

Why will these people keep rapping

A resident at Railway Road in Bauchi metropolis, Bauchi State has poisoned and killed an 11-year- old daughter of the Chief Imam of the Bauchi Central Mosque, Bala Baban Inna. In a related development, following the death of 20 persons in the Shira Local Government Area of Bauchi State as a result of cholera outbreak, the Primary Health Care Development Agency has warned people against digging sewage and pit latrines near the kitchens and wells in order to avoid contact with viruses that cause cholera and diarrhoea.

It was learnt that the suspect, 30-year-old Jarelu Ahmed, did not only kill the teenager, but also buried her in his room after committing the atrocity. The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Bauchi State Command, DSP Haruna Mohammed, in a release made available to journalists in Bauchi on Tuesday, confirmed the incident, saying the suspect has been arrested.
He stated that forensic experts visited the scene of the crime, exhumed and took the corpse to the hospital for postmortem.

According to him, , “On Monday, August 31 at about 18:00hrs, Police Detectives attached to Township Division arrested one Jarelu Ahmed, Male, (30) of Railway road Bauchi. “The Suspect allegedly poisoned one Hajara Ahmed, an 11-year-old daughter of one Bala Ahmed Baban Inna (Chief Imam of Bauchi Central Mosque), killed and buried her in his room in order to conceal his atrocity. “The scene of the crime was visited by forensic experts attached to State Criminal Investigation Department and the victim body was exhumed, photographed and taken to ATBU Teaching Hospital for postmortem examination. The case is under investigation,” he said in the statement.

The acting chairman of the agency, Dr. Yahya Yarima gave the warning during a three-day sensitisation exercise on the need to observe environmental sanitation by the Misau emirate community and Human Development Association (MECAHDA) in Misau local government area of Bauchi State. He stressed on the need for people to maintain a high culture of personal hygiene, particularly in their immediate environment, pointing out that such a habit will go a long way in curtailing not only the spread of diseases, but avoid unnecessary spending on health.

“The saying that health is wealth cannot be over- emphasised because it is only when you are healthy that you can look for a means of live hood. People should ensure that they maintain a hygienic environment to prevent the menace of flood and diseases. “In this light, am appealing to youths and women in the society to form clubs and associations that will complement government efforts towards ensuring clean and safer environment. “We must always ensure that drainages are always clean and water ways in order to avoid flood during this rainy season.
