observed that the internet was awash with the
story of a big boy who is said to be very
successful and has one of the biggest this, and
the most expensive that.
His is name is Okwudili "Dilly" and sources say
he moves around with a POLICE escort. But
information the guy is not clean has surfaced.
He is a confirmed 'Yahoo Yahoo thief' who
confessed to all his criminal actions in court
and was sentenced to prison in the US. Below
is the story of Okwudili:
An American federal jury has convicted a
Nigerian man, Oluyomi Oshinaike of two
counts of bank fraud for a scam authorities
say involved more than a million dollars in
altered corporate checks.
Senior U.S. District Judge Charles Butler Jr.
scheduled Oshinaike’s sentencing for Feb. 15.
Under advisory sentencing guidelines, he faces
a prison term of at least 2½ years and as much
as 3 years and a month.
Okwudili “Cowboy” "Dilly" Umenyiora, who has
already pleaded guilty to the bank fraud, also
testified that he convinced Oluyomi Oshinaike
to recruit people who were willing to allow
checks to be deposited into their bank
accounts.
“His job was to go out and find the accounts,”
he testified.
Okwudili testified the account holders would
be told a cover story similar to solicitations
many people get via e-mail. The tale would be
that a person in Nigeria needed help getting
money into the United States.
Assistant US Attorney E.T. Rolison said in his
closing argument that it is a classic Nigeria
scam. "The reason you call it that is because
they say, ‘My father is in Nigeria.’ They come
up with that story,” he said.
Okwudili confessed that he would pay a postal
worker at a mail-sorting center in Atlanta
$500 for corporate bank checks, each . He
said he did not know the man’s name, but a man
by the name of Andrew Bryant Gunn has
pleaded guilty in federal court in Atlanta in
connection with the plot and will be sentenced
next month.
Okwudili told jurors he would take the checks
to a man named Guy Taylor, who would change
the payee line. He would then give the checks
to partners who would in turn deposit them
into bank accounts.
He said the bank account holder would be
allowed to keep 15 percent of the value of the.
Taylor would get 10 percent and the postal
worker was paid 10 percent to 15
percent, Okwudili testified.
Mobile resident Rosa Gullett testified that
she agreed to allow Oshinaike, whom she knew
as “Abdul,” to use her account. She said she
met Oshinaike through her sister, who was
dating him at the time. Her mother, Kim
Williams, testified that she allowed him to use
her account, too.
That’s not Okwudili's first brush with the long
arm of the law, it seems he’s been a career
criminal for over a decade as his mugshot from
2001 attests.
In light of this, it was with great amazement
(and amusement) that people read the "sweet"
story about him on the social media and
Nigerians were praising him (the original story
has now been deleted, but GOOGLE is your
friend). Not only was he praised for being a
‘Super Model’ in his looks, given major props
for his ‘swag’, but it seems he also drove up in
a Lamborghini, escorted by MOPOL.

Fellow Nigerians.....
Are we back to the days of Fred Ajudua
where known 419 Kingpins not only had a high
public profile, but were even accorded police
escorts, and were celebrated as pillars of
society, worthy of emulation?
Wasn’t the EFCC set up to specifically check
such individuals? I mean, what’s the
justification in having a self-confessed and
convicted fraudster being given an armed
police escort?
