Keyamo Speaks On Relationship With Jerry Ikogho, Fraudster Nabbed By FBI by Abdulazeez99: 11:37am On Aug 25, 2019 |
Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs, Festus Keyamo, has described suspected fraud kingpin, jerry Ikogho, as a brother and friend from a good home, Igbere TV reports. The newly appointed minister said this in an interview with newsmen after pictures of the two men appeared on the Internet. Igbere TV reports that Ikogho is one of the 77 Nigerians charged for massive fraud and money laundering in the United States of America following an extensive FBI operation. The suspects allegedly conspired to scam at least $46 million from victims via romance scams, business email compromises and other online fraud schemes. A grand jury indictment was filed in the Central District of California back in October 2018 and unsealed last week after the arrest of 14 defendants in the US. The remaining 63 individuals are believed to be abroad, with most in Nigeria. Keyamo began a relationship with Ikogho as a child in the 70s in Ughelli, Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State. They were classmates at Government College Ughelli and were children of Jehovah’s Witnesses. While Keyamo’s family barely managed to make ends meet, Ikogho’s father was a major car dealer in the area. Speaking in the interview, Keyamo said he did not know the kind of business Ikogho was doing in America. “We were born together in the same town at Ughelli in Delta State. His parents and my parents are close friends up till tomorrow. We were both raised in the Jehovahs Witnesses sect. It is a whole family union. If he has legal issues, I handled them for him free of charge. I didn’t know him as a client but as a family friend with whom we both grew up together,” Keyamo was quoted as saying. Asked if he was aware that his friend was into shady business, Keyamo asked: “How would I know? He has not been proven guilty. Have you concluded that he is into massive fraud and money laundering?” The lawyer who once prosecuted cases on behalf of Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), added that he needs to hear from Ikogho what transpired in America before he takes a position. Hear him: “If his explanations are not satisfactory, I will scold him. I have spoken with the wife since this issue broke out, but I have been unable to get in touch with him. But I need to hear from him.” Describing what happened to his friend as “very unfortunate”, Keyamo added that Ikogho grew up and did his youth service in Nigeria. “I used to stay with him when I first came to Abuja. He is my brother and friend, though I am just a month older than him. Anybody can be in trouble. I am praying for him. If he has valid explanations I will help him legally. I can’t run away from him,” he concluded. http://igberetvnews.com/931836/just-in-keyamo-speaks-on-his-relationship-with-jerry-ikogho-suspected-fraudster-nabbed-by-fbi/ 84 Likes 9 Shares

“I used to stay with him when I first came to Abuja. He is my brother and friend, though I am just a month older than him. Anybody can be in trouble. I am praying for him. If he has valid explanations I will help him legally. I can’t run away from him,” he concluded. It is evident that Keyamo is a true man and not a politician. A politician is ready to deny his own blood brother if it will negatively impact his political ambition. Instead, Keyamo laid it all bare and revealed the depth of his friendship with the accused. It is not Keyamo's fault if his family friend involved himself in crime in another country, and if eventually convicted, they will still be family friends who have been helpful to each other at some time in their friendship. 790 Likes 74 Shares |

Nice one from keyamo. He is indeed a true and good friend. Such kind of friends are rare. If it's to be another person, he will conclude with the public validation about the case and ignore his friend. If he is innocent, i pray he should be released.

He has not been proven guilty! Jerry Doesn’t look like a fraudulent man though. This Keyamo is a very good friend. He’s what we need in Nigerian political system. Very transparent and plain. That’s the only thing I love about Jehovah witness 97 Likes 10 Shares |

Quite a mature response from Festus. Typically in situations like this, most people jump into defensive mode irrationally and then totally deny their buddies. But he just said it as it is, "my friend is my friend, regardless of what wrong he may have done." 55 Likes 4 Shares |

If invictusObi deceived the whole world, got respected and celebrated as an ideal entrepreneurial role mode, how much more the possibility of Kerry Ikogho hoodwinking Festus Kenyamo. However, we wait for the trial to commence. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

The man is wise, he just gained himself a fan. Not some double mouthed n!ggas, quickly bails out when yawa gas. At times it's cool to get into tiniest of problems or fane one like I always do, just to know true ones. I have no one I can willingly/confidently refer to as a friend(it's cool if you see me as your bestfriend or your friend, but the fact should be, am I your friend ![]() #LoneSoldier #I'm My Own friend/Bestfriend. 40 Likes 3 Shares
