When will the FBI start arresting the western Bank Gangsters , who create dollars out of thin air, and spend on their few cliques? Especially politicians and celebrities?


*not condoning crime sha o*.
But the greatest criminals in the world are in:

Luxembourg
Switzerland
Tel Aviv
Washington
City of London
Dubai

explain more about dollar out of thun air..been tryna watch YouTube videos on that..I mean,u just popp out videos

Hmm...13 million dolls is a lot of money o.

They probably tried to lure them to the US first with easy visa, but this one's didn't fall for it. So no choice but to reach out to EFCC.

If you say so

Some are making light of the situation...offering tips to the suspects on how to evade capture, etc.

If only people knew...

Holders of that little 'green book' will pay heavily at airports, embassies, etc. It will not be so funny then...

Isn't this suppose to be confidential between the FBI and EFCC? The EFCC needs to find out the source of the leak ... how can they be professional with a snitch amongst them? He has sent warning to the fugitives which would now make it even more difficult to find and arrest. I believe the FBI informed them to follow protocol but will get the fugitives themselves. After all .... if they can't find well known Bello why will they find two unknowns?

THINK WELL.

$13 million heist is a good one.

Mrs America is a rich lady. And should let it go

xtianchris:

Alright.. Just my opinion though... Omo it's getting out of hand oo . Our unborn children shouldn't see Fraud as a means on livelihood.

the same America is still leading Nigeria, they are the one who are backed up to Nigeria,but you see this Russia, they are the king ,I think they started romance scam. Follow by Ukraine and China that builds all these apps and gift card scams... . We just need to put in strict policy, our government isn't helping,hunger in the land but when foods enter stomach, it will discourage most of these fraudster, Nigeria is still number 5 when it comes to cyber crime.. media and over population exposed things , even if you scam the whole country in Russia, them no born anybody well to go there and arrest. We just need to pray because technology aren't helping , the same Facebook is killing relationship and increases serial killing. ..the best way to stop frauds generally is maybe stop internet but that's impossible.

Yeah I get your point. Thanks Brother I appreciate your input ..

They and fraud + forgery na 5&6....

Kunle, due to improved capabilities of intelligence (AI) you will be eventually caught! Even if you like use all the rottening skulls in the cemetery to cook charm or get fresh ones from miners... FBI go still catch you!

abbey621:
Buy plenty of bleaching cream, go to the village get tribal marks, cancel all family and friends, forget anything called bank , anything involving your old documents/identity, get a fresh one and change your name to Nnamdi or Bashiru, don't let them know your next move. Find one village in Osogbo or similar and live your life jejely.

These 3 big for nothing tribes are the problem of this country.
The Yoruba are good at internet frauds, that's why the South West have highest rate of Internet scammers, the igbos are good at drug trafficking, while hausa fulanis are doing local terrorism but they have imported it to niger and Chad

I'm just tired for this big for nothing tribes, they can't set positive standards for minority tribes

exactly 💯

I have to step in at this moment and respond (with multiple evidence) to your post so that you will be well informed and other readers are NOT misled here.

Your post (and that of a few other well-known bigoted posters on this thread from page 1) reek of undue emotional outburst, ignorance, hate speech and lack of empirical evidence. You are cherry picking and trying to stereotype Yorubas instead of following evidence-based FACTS available to the intelligence agencies and in the media.

A lot of the Internet scammers come from nearly all parts of Nigeria (especially the states in the South of Nigeria and the Middle Belt states) based off of criminal investigations and intelligence data available to me and NOT only Yoruba folks like you have incorrectly posted. Lagos State has had many arrests by the Intelligence agencies, the EFCC, and the NDLEA of many Internet fraudsters, drug barons and drug traffickers (Who are MAJORLY indigenes of various villages in Anambra State), armed robbers, kidnappers and criminals of all shades who are of the Igbo, Edo, Delta, Rivers, ethnicities etc. The fact that Lagos State is a cosmopolitan state (like Rivers State, Kano State, Abuja, etc), with migrants from all over the world living, hustling, and doing business there makes it easy to pick up criminals and social deviants from other ethnic groups aside from the indigenous Yoruba folks there. So, a lot of crimes that are committed and credited to Lagos State and the nearby Ogun State for instance are NOT necessarily committed by the indigenous Yorubas in those states based on the official crime data of more than 25 years that are available to me.

Some towns in Delta State such as Ughelli, Efurun, Asaba, etc, are major hubs of internet fraudsters. Essentially, states that have higher institutions such as in Owerri have a lot of Internet fraudsters. Many internet fraudsters have been arrested in Owerri in Imo State which is a major hub for international Internet fraudsters in the South East of Nigeria and indeed several arrests have been carried out by the EFCC and other Intelligence agencies in Enugu, Anambra and other Ibo-speaking states. Edo State especially Benin City has witnessed it's fair share of internet fraudsters and arrests.

INFACT, the biggest Internet frauds committed by people of Nigerian descent in the United States have been done by Igbo fraudsters to the extent that the notorious criminals called Tobechi Onwuhara who was declared wanted and arrested by the FBI, and Obinwanne Okeke (who was arrested based on the scam he pulled off which is even higher in USD value than that of the other criminal called Hush Puppi). Obinwanne Okeke was arrested by the FBI in the United States as he was about to escape to Nigeria based on the incriminating posts he made right here on Nairaland!

In one SINGLE day alone, 77 Igbos were INDICTED and/or arrested in the United States alone for engaging in international Internet fraud and romance scams by the United States Justice Department and the FBI, so, it's highly irresponsible for anybody on this thread to insinuate that Yorubas are the ones who are mainly into Internet fraud because of the arrests of 2 or 3 fraudsters from among the Yoruba folks when other ethnic groups are CLEARLY into this criminal act because of the ease of access to laptops and internet data, unlike drug trafficking that is more specialized and requires a HIGHER entry level.


Right BELOW is a FULL list of 77 Nigerians of Igbo ethnic origin who were indicted and/or arrested in one SINGLE day by the FBI in a major sting operation in the United States for a massive Business Email Compromise (BEC) scam, romance scams and money laundering these criminals committed running into millions of USD. It was around that same period that the international fraudster and criminal called Obinwane Okeke (the so-called Invictus Obi) was arrested by the FBI based on the incriminating evidence he had earlier posted right here on Nairaland. So, this is a very serious act of criminality and a wider issue involving some other Nigerian ethnicities most especially the Igbos in the U.S. and other countries as well. These Internet scam cases are already being trivialized by some simpletons who should be sober instead of gloating.

In rounding off, these highly annoying, criminal cases of Internet fraud and romance scams are perpetrated by many White people as well such as Russians, Ukrainians and Asian gangs from China, etc.

Read up more on the Israeli Internet fraudsters called the "Tinder Swindler" who went by the fabricated name "Simon Leviev" then your eyes will be opened wider and you will know that Nigerians are NOT the ONLY ones in this highly criminal romance scams and Business Email Compromise BEC scams perpetrated by criminals like Invictus Obi (Obinwanne Okeke) who was embarrassingly rated by Forbes Africa as an example of a successful entrepreneur when infact he and his gang were actually international Internet fraudsters.
