The accused, Mr. Makinde, who also goes by the aliases Olaniyi James and Andrea Bradley, recently graduated from the University of Ado Ekiti with a degree in Economics and is scheduled to take part in the compulsory National Youth Service scheme.

He however remains in the custody of Nigeria’s anti-graft agency which said that if convicted of the over 20 count charges brought against him, Mr. Makinde could serve as much as 60 years in jail.

Thanks for posting that!
Comments over there are interesting: Some of them - Nigarians apparently - applaud the EFFC!

I'm not surprised. We know that the majority of Nigerians are honest. And it must be frustrating for them to be citizens of a country notorious for scamming

^ So true Arnold. And I think the pressure from the Nigerian people is starting to work. Scammers alway felt safe in Nigeria but things are changing. I wish the best for the good people of Nigeria.
