A 50-year-old Nigerian national, Amos Prince Okey Ezemma, was sentenced to 85 months imprisonment in the United States for his role in a transnational inheritance fraud scheme.



With the sentencing on Monday, July 22, 2024, each of the six Nigerian defendants connected with this matter has been sentenced.



According to court documents, Ezemma was a member of a group of fraudsters that sent personalized letters to elderly victims in the United States, falsely claiming that the sender was a representative of a bank in Spain and that the recipient was entitled to receive a multimillion-dollar inheritance left for the recipient by a family member who had died years before in Portugal.


The victims were told that before they could receive their purported inheritance, they were required to send money for delivery fees and taxes and were instructed to make other payments. Victims sent money to the defendants through a complex web of U.S-based former victims.



The defendant and his co-conspirators also convinced former victims to receive money from new victims and then forward the fraud proceeds to others.

“Targeting the elderly for pure financial gain is beyond shameful, it’s morally reprehensible,” said Special Agent in Charge Fransisco B. Burrola of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Arizona.

Each of Ezemma’s five co-defendants has been sentenced to prison for their roles in the scheme.



On June 21, 2023, the Honorable Kathleen M. Williams sentenced Emmanuel Samuel to 82 months in prison.



On July 25, 2023, Judge Williams sentenced Jerry Chucks Ozor to 87 months in prison.



On Aug. 29, 2023, Judge Williams sentenced Iheanyichukwu [/b]Jonathan Abraham to 90 months in prison.


On Oct. 20, 2023, Judge Williams sentenced Kennedy Ikponmwosa to 87 months in prison.



And on Nov. 2, 2023, Judge Williams sentenced [b]Peter Ezennia Neboh to 128 months in prison. Judge Williams also ordered Ezemma and his co-defendants to pay more than $6 million in restitution to their over 400 victims.


The Justice Department’s Office of International Affairs, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida and Europol all provided critical assistance.

If it were EFCC na to do 1 quick photoshoot and then you pay for logistics and inconveniences then return home.

Some will say, No job in Nigeria and why they are into fraud. Our leaders are bad and why boys are into fraud.

So there is no job in the US too, or US leaders are thieves too?

Call a spade a spade, these fraudsters are just greedy morafvckers!

Employ them into Microsoft or Tesla and morafvckers will still do fraud.

They celebrate criminals like Hushpuppi and will do anything to replicate same!

Can’t they just be contented! I can’t imagine how they feel when they spend the proceeds of fraud! Everyone around you knows that you don’t own it and definitely stole it.

Ipob and fraud

The faces spoiling our name around the world.
